Heath Lynch is an accomplished trial attorney and dynamic advocate who now defends the accused after spending nine years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the United States Department of Justice. 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.

Where charges cannot be avoided, Mr. Lynch assists clients through every step of the case process, with personal attention to their needs, careful evaluation of the evidence, and strategic acumen.

Life saved
My experience with Mr.Heath Lynch was life changing..my life and freedom was on the line and the prosecutor offered a plea that really was outrageous in my opinion but Heath was right there with me through the whole process..I talked to about 3-4 different lawyers but from the start I knew Heath was ...
I will respect your privacy (this was an anonymous post) but I know exactly who this is, and I greatly appreciate the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure fighting with and for you, and alongside your amazing family. There are few things more intimidating than facing the Federal government in a criminal matter, and when not one but two prosecutors decided to try your case, the odds became even longer. I cannot say enough about the support your family gave us, and will always remember those long hours when we waited out the verdict together. Winning acquittal on Federal drug and firearms charges as serious as those you faced was truly a team effort - my paralegal and trial assistant Sarah was indispensable that week. I just happened to be the member of the team who got to do the "talking" to the jury! Thank you again for your kind words, and all the best to you as you rebuild your life after this experience.

I would never leave a case of this sort to a public defender. Heath made sure that all the facts were brought up. He is very knowledgeable. Every day he came to court very well prepared. I would definitely hire him again hand's down.

Highly Recommend
I rarely write reviews. A service has to either be pretty bad, or done extremely well. I was so thankful that this service was top notch. Unfortunately my father had a once in a lifetime bad night, with bad choices, and a family that has never seen the likes of barely a traffic stop was now facing a ...
"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."
