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.

This is the man I would trust my family with.
Right off the bat Heath seemed like the kind of guy you would want defending a family member or loved one. I actually found him on google and later received a recommendation from another friend and he couldn’t have been more correct about Heath and his team! Heath was calm and confident the entire ti...
Nate, I don't think I could ask for a better compliment than that - thank you! We know that people charged with crimes - and the friends and family members who come to their aid - have many options when it comes to choosing a criminal defense firm, and we feel a deep sense of responsibility when we are chosen to represent people who find themselves in a bad spot. Your family member was indeed in a tough spot, and I am very proud of the result we achieved for her. Thank you again for choosing my team and me - we wish you and your young family the very best!

Heath and his team are some of the most precise, ethical, and patient people I've worked with in any legal situation. In addition to fully dismissing my case, they were so thoughtful throughout the arduous process of communicating with prosecution, and, when necessary, were frank enough to outline ev...

Best Lawyer to Have on Your Side
I could not be happier with my choice to work with SBBL, specifically Heath Lynch & his team. From the beginning, Heath displayed confidence that he could get me the best possible outcome for my case, and he delivered. All-the-while managing expectations, and making sure to not deliver false hope. 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."

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."
