Outstanding Defense Lawyer
Last year I was arrested on several felony sexual charges. After extensive research looking for a lawyer, I chose Springstead, Bartish, Borgula and Lynch based on their reviews. This is the best move I could have made. My lawyer Heath Lynch and his team fought these charges for almost a year and cha...
Thank you for the kind words, Robert. It has been an absolute privilege to help you fight those sexual assault charges. From the first time I heard the allegations against you, I was convinced we ultimately could set the record straight and challenge the clearly false, historical allegations of sexual assault. You did what any innocent person in your position must do - find and bring on the best and most aggressive team you can find to protect your family, your reputation, and your freedom. It was incredibly gratifying for us to get every last one of those very serious felony charges dismissed, and to get you back home with your family. We wish all of you the very best, and appreciate you choosing us.

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!

Professional Defense Attorney !
Hands down, Heath is the best defense attorney, one that you could only imagine seeing on a TV show like "Suits" ! His jaw-dropping performance during one of my hearings in particular made the prosecutor literally say no more ! I would highly recommend Heath and his life long experience as a former f...
"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."
