Mr. Lynch has defended and prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases, and uses his extensive experience in law enforcement to help his clients understand the charges and evidence against them, and to build the most effective possible defense against those charges.

When you want a lawyer that is looking out for your best interest.
In March of this year I was accused of a crime I didn't commit. As open and honest as I was with the officers they did not believe my story. I remember them leaving my house and saying we came here for answers and we didn't get any. I immediately knew that I needed someone to protect my rights and he...
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Heath Lynch personnaly and professionally for over 10 years. As a criminal defense attorney, I acted as opposing counsel on numerous cases that Heath handled as an Assistant United States Attorney. Heath was always thorough, prepared, and formidable as opponent. He was also always fair and honest. When he decided to leave the United States attorneys office to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney, myself and my partners knew that we wanted him to join our firm. Perio when he decided to leave the United States attorneys office to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney, myself and my partners knew that we wanted him to join our firm. Heath now uses those same qualities that made him such a formidable Assistant United States Attorney to help people who find themselves in terrible situations."
"Mr. Lynch is an outstanding lawyer. He always has a command of the facts and law of the case. He is very talented inside, as well as outside, of the courtroom. He is very persuasive with juries, judges and opposing counsel. I have no trouble highly endorsing Mr. Lynch."
"Mr. Lynch is an accomplished, dedicated, and skilled attorney whose abilities are an asset to his clients and to our firm. I heartily endorse this attorney."
"I worked with Heath on criminal cases when he was with the United States Attorney's Office. He was always professional, thorough, and prepared in his representation. I have no doubt the skills he demonstrated in the cases I've had with him will translate to his representation of clients as a criminal defense attorney."
"Heath is a former federal prosecutor now in private practice. I highly endorse his for any criminal case."
"Prior to joining our law firm, I had many cases against Heath Lynch in his role as a federal prosecutor. Heath always struck me as well prepared, smart, great in court, and very personable. He also has an outstanding reputation in the legal community among the defense bar and the judges. We know he will be a tremendous asset to our firm and, more importantly, to his clients. We are fortunate to have such a talented lawyer join our firm and I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of great representation."
