I was pulled over for drinking and driving. I blew a .07 and .08 at the Fillmore correctional facility. I interviewed 2 attorneys who suggested that they could get my charge down to impaired driving. I was about to decide on one of them but was simply not fully satisfied with either of them. That... evening, I did a lot of research looking for reviews on different attorneys. I found Gary Springstead with several optimistic reviews. I spoke to Gary the next day as I had to make a decision quickly. Gary said two things that stuck out in my mind. First, he said that he would "never tell a client with my record to settle for an impaired driving". Secondly, when I asked him about how much he charges, which was more than others, he simply stated "I am not trying to be the cheapest, just the best". It turns out, Gary is the best and he saved me a lot of money and was more than worth the initial expense! He saved me thousands of dollars by negotiating my offense down to a careless driving charge… $180.00 fine and 3 points on my license with no criminal charges. I will recommend Gary to anyone who I come across who may need a great lawyer!

My partner and I retained Mr. Gary Springstead for a federal indictment in the Spring of 2022. I cannot begin to express how much we regret that. His firm met with us a total of three times in about two months and charged me $190,000 of the $250,000 retained we paid them (for a Federal indictment) ...to conduct ONE motions hearing. In the days leading up to the hearing, Mr. Springstead and his firm was totally unavailable, yet to our shock – he decided it was appropriate to fly SIX attorneys to Minneapolis for the hearing – each charging me over $500 per hour. Once in Minneapolis, Mr. Sprinstead's team booked suites at the most luxurious hotel in town, and ate at the finest steakhouse in town – all at our expense. After the hearing, we immediately asked Gary to please provide us a billing statement as we were concerned about the costs of this escapade. To this day, no detailed billing statement has even been provided. In the following weeks, we asked Gary to please send us drafts of the motions he intended to file following the hearing. After repeated requests via his office (he was on vacation), we received a draft the DAY the motions were due, and Gary failed to even show up for a scheduled Zoom call where we had hoped to review the very weak motion, which was largely a recycled version of a motion filed by our earlier legal team. I cannot stress how much we recommend you do NOT hire these people. They are not good attorneys and hide behind the fact they are formed FBI/DOJ employees as if that gives them experience and ethics. It did neither for us and we are now filing a Michigan Bar complaint against them to recover as much of our funds as possible against these very lazy attorneys. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for quality legal representation.
