DUI

I was arrested for DUI. The reason for being pulled over, the officer heard someone squeal their tires. I was driving my new red Dodge Challenger RT following behind 4 other cars coming off an off ramp. He pulled me over and asked if I had been drinking. I admitted I had 3 beers. I was arrested... and needed an attorney with knowledge. After researching lawyers, I decided to make an appointment with Springstead, Bartish and Borgula Law. Mike Bartish was the lawyer we hired. Once meeting with him and weighing the options for the case, we decided to go forward with the case and court. Mike needed to be out of town when the preliminary date was set. Gary Springstead stepped in and accompanied us to court. He came prepared with facts on our car and complimented Mike very well. After he met with the Prosecutor and Judge the case had an outcome we didn't expect....Careless Driving, misdemeanor offense. These two men went above and beyond for us in this case to give us the best odds possible. We can't thank them enough for their guidance and efforts. We give them our highest recommendation.

We appreciate the kinds words, thank you. I was happy to assist Mike with this case and excited to get a great result, which is even better than your comments indicate--careless driving is a civil infraction (like a speeding or parking ticket), not a misdemeanor or even a crime! Mike Bartish deserves the lion's share of the credit because he is the one who set the table for this great result. Great job, Mike.

Best Attorney in Grand Rapids!

Gary Springstead is the best Attorney in Grand Rapids! After my son got in trouble at the Electric Forest Festival, Gary guided him, advised him, and represented him in the best way possible. While it was a stressful process to go through, having Gary as our Attorney, gave us peace of mind. He is acc...essible, knowledgeable, personable and professional and ultimately got my son's case dismissed. Subsequently, my son felt comfortable enough to call Gary for advise on an unrelated issue...and of course Gary was wonderful once again! I highly recommend Gary Springstead if you are looking for a great Attorney!

Great Attorney For DUI cases

I hired Gary to represent me for the DUI charges that I faced. This was the first time that I had ever been involved in any criminal proceedings, so my knowledge of the law was extremely limited. After meeting with Gary for the first time, I knew that I was in good hands and I trusted that he would... make the right decisions on my behalf. His secretary (Katie) was very reliable and easy to reach when I had questions or concerns and I knew that she would pass on information to Gary. He is an excellent choice when facing DUI/OWI charges because of his experience and professionalism. I was extremely happy with my results as all alcohol related charges were dropped. I highly recommend Gary to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney who is willing to fight for your rights. Thanks Gary!
