Before joining SBBL Law, Heath was a federal prosecutor for the US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids. He initially specialized in asset forfeiture proceedings, where he prosecuted financial crimes—including mail and wire fraud, embezzlement, and postal theft. He trained federal, state, and local law enforcement officers in asset forfeiture law and policy.
While an Assistant US Attorney, Heath was commended by the IRS and FBI for outstanding prosecutorial skills in agency investigations. Heath went on to handle many types of federal charges, from investigation and grand jury indictment through trial, sentencing, and appeal. During his most recent position with the US Attorney’s Office, he led and directed teams of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers to investigate and prosecute complex drug trafficking and money laundering cases in the federal criminal justice system.
Before joining the US Attorney’s Office, Heath worked in Philadelphia for the law firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, where he represented financial services and insurance clients in commercial litigation, and he developed and conducted insurance-related fraud and compliance investigations.

Exceeded Expectations
Heath Lynch came highly recommended and is someone I highly recommend. In giving advice, he steered me down the right road and managed my expectations well. Excellent communicator; he took the time to make sure I understood the process. I feel like he was looking out for my best interest and he has...
Thank you for the review, James. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. We knew from the beginning that the felony charge brought by the prosecutor was extremely aggressive, and the basis for it was less than solid. I was very happy the court agreed with us and dismissed the case immediately following the preliminary exam! I was happy to be able to resolve this so early for you, and appreciate you choosing SBBL, and me. Best wishes!

Strongly Recommend
Extremely happy with the services Heath and his team provided. He was very professional and made me aware of all possible outcomes. With the conclusion of the case, I was very pleased with the end result. Could not have asked for a better legal representation from throughout the entire process.

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer
I had a very unique case that involved a lot of digging and unorthodox measures to close succesfully. I am more than happy with my outcome, it took a long time but Heath stuck with me all the way. I can not recommend Heath and his team Chastity and McKenzie enough.

"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."

"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."
