Michigan's Best
A week after a normal night of hanging with a friend, I receive a knock on my door from the police informing me that I have been accused of sexual assault. I was absolutely floored as there was no possible reason why I should have been accused of that. After reaching out to a family attorney, Heath L...

Great Attorney
Mr. Lynch represented my son in federal court. He is a very professional, supportive, conscientious attorney. His knowledge and experience helped us through a terrible situation and ended with a Not Guilty verdict. I would not hesitate to call him (heaven forbid) if we ever needed an attorney agai...

Mr. Lynch led the way.
I hired Heath Lynch after receiving a letter informing me the Department of Justice planned to indict me of committing Fraud against the Federal Government. I believed prior, like I assume most of us do, that if I was innocent, had no criminal history, cooperated fully, and was completely honest if e...
Ryan, thank you for the very kind review. As you now know, being investigated by the Federal government is one of the most stressful and intimidating experiences imaginable, particularly when you know you did nothing wrong. And when your efforts to clear your name prove unsuccessful and you are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office, you often have little choice but to fight back. I appreciate you choosing us to fight with you and for you, and could not be happier that together, we won that fight. Best wishes as you move past this difficult chapter in your life. Thank you again for the kind words.
"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."

"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."
