Dismissed

I was charged with a felony gun charge. Concealed Carry without a license to do so. I had never been in trouble before. I was out of state. Not only did Gary and his team show they cared about my situation, they put effort into fighting my case. They got my bond amended so I could return to my home ...state and keep my job. Amazingly enough, thanks to Gary, my charge was dismissed! I had a serious case that if I was charged guilty would effect the rest of my life. I would have never been able to possess a gun again. Thanks to Gary, Kathy, Tammy and his team, I am a free woman and will be able to go home and apply for my CCW. I would recommend Springsteen and Burtish Law group to anyone.

Excellent Attorney!!!

Gary Springstead saved my life! It was my first offence owi charge. I was sleeping in my car with the ignition on when the cops showed up and arrested me. I had no idea what to do, I've never been in a situation like this. So, I began to research different law firms around the area using the interne...t. The one law firm that stood out the most was Springstead Bartish and Borgula law. With there perfect 5 star ratings I kept researching. I kept reading and reading all these perfect 5 star reviews from past clients. I was convinced so I gave them a call and talked to Gary about my situation. After talking to him, my stress and anxiety level went down drastically. His confidence and honesty was what I liked about him, he was upfront about everything including what he charges and that's what made me hire him. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. The only time I appeared in court was for my arraignment, other than that Gary took care of everything with the prosecutor behind the scenes. If I had any questions they were quick to respond whether via email or phone call. His team was constantly updating me on the status of my case. There was never a time that I didn't know what was going on. Gary Springstead had my misdemeanor owi charge dropped to a civil infraction reckless driving charge with only a few points on my license and a ticket for reckless driving. He had my case dismissed and my implied consent refusal dropped. I can't thank Gary enough for what he did for me. I would recommend Gary Springstead to everybody whose in need of a criminal defence attorney. He is the best around. Thank you again Gary Springstead.

Thank you for the kind words. I am really glad we were able to get such a great result for you. p.s. The charges were dropped in exchange for you accepting responsibility to a civil infraction, careless driving.

Grad student in med profession charged with DUI

Believe the reviews about Gary. He and Kathy are amazing people who genuinely care about you. I cannot stress this enough. They are truly powerhouse lawyers, who will get results. Even the prosecutor and court admitted that once I hired them, I made an amazing decision. I'm a first year grad student... in a medical profession. I got pulled over in Big Rapids one night and charged with a DUI. It was the first time I ever had a run in with the law and I did not know what to do. I panicked and hired a cheaper lawyer, who ended up dragging the process out by months (because it did not work with her schedule), she wouldn't return my phone calls, I never knew what was going on with my case, and the worse part was that she continuously kept trying to tell me to take the plea (which was offered to me before I even hired her, so she did absolutely nothing). She told me the plea was a great bargain (it was an OWVI, a lesser DUI but still a DUI). I never met her, and she had planned on sending an associate in her place to the plea acceptance. I could tell that she didn't even do anything with my case because every time I called her, her secretary did not know a thing about my case. Out of panic, I called around to get a second opinion, and I DID MY RESEARCH CAREFULLY THIS TIME! I read all the reviews on Gary Springstead, and I reached out to him. He called me back the night before my plea agreement and changed my life. He told me not to accept the plea bargain because it was a horrible deal, and he would fight for me. The moment I hired Gary, the whole experience changed. Gary and his team constantly kept me updated on my case every step of the way. Within a matter of weeks, they EASILY got my DUI dropped to a civil infraction. Gary and Kathy cared about ME, they were not out for money like other lawyers. They gave me a discounted rate because of what happened with my first lawyer and genuinely tried to make the case as cheap as possible for me because I'm a student. I wish I had hired them first and not suffered through the first 3-4 months of hell from my first lawyer. Honestly, I've sat in your position scrolling through reviews, feeling scared and confused and awful about the position I was in. Believe me when I tell you that Gary and Kathy will completely change those feelings the moment you even talk to them. I felt so safe and cared for, I had a team behind me that really fought for me and took care of the whole process. I was able to focus on school and work, knowing that I was in safe hands. You honestly can't put a price on that kind of comfort when going through this difficult time. Gary and Kathy worked my case for such a low rate but if I had the funds I would have paid them much much more because they were honestly truly good people who are worth every. single. penny.

Kept the police from ruining my life - 3 felonies DROPPED!

This law firm is a powerhouse that gets RESULTS. I cannot speak highly enough of them. I hired Mr Gary Springstead to defend me against 3 very serious felony drug charges. He looked at the evidence closely and was able to write up a compelling argument to the prosecutor on why my charges should be... dropped, and was able to get all three felonies DROPPED to one single misdemeanor! I was just sentenced this week and did not receive a single day of jail time! Throughout the process, both Gary and his staff kept me aware of what was happening, and our court dates I was prepped thoroughly so I knew how to handle any questions. Gary gets my highest recommendation both as a world-class attorney and as a human being. Thank you my friend.
