Heath Michael Lynch

I was camping at Warren Dunes State Park and had a run-in with the camp troopers, and I was issued a citation for possession of cannabis. I didn't want to use a public defender as I thought I'd have better chances hiring my own attorney which is how I ended up with Heath Lynch as my attorney, and I c...ouldn't be happier with my decision. I called tons of law firms, spoke with many attorneys, and got a lot of quotes, but I could tell that Heath Lynch was the best. From the first time I contacted his office I was impressed with how responsive and attentive to my needs he and his paralegal (Chasity) were. I wasn't rushed off the phone like many of the other attorneys did, and Heath was at least willing to explore all possibilities. When I spoke with the other attorneys they told me to take the initial plea deal the prosecutor offered as it was a "good deal" (read on for details of the initial plea deal). I called late and left a message, and they got right back to me right away. Heath even provided his cell phone number so I could reach him any time. I was extremely scared and nervous about the whole process, but after speaking with Heath I was immediately put at ease. I was facing up to two years in jail, heavy fines, and to make a long story short Heath was able to work with the prosecutor and obtain a plea deal for me resulting in a 6 month probation. My deal was called a 74/11 so as long as I make it through my probationary period without any new offences all charges will be automatically expunged, which is what I was looking for as I didn't want anything on my record. Throughout the process I had all kinds of questions, and every time I called or sent an email Heath and/or Chasity got back to me right away with all the information I was requesting. Heath didn't sugar coat anything and always explained the good, the bad, and the possibilities of what could happen. Heath was extremely knowledgeable of the law, extremely professional, courteous, always punctual, and always followed through on what we discussed. He never made me feel stupid or bad, he was always pleasant to work with, and his professional nature seamed to always put me at ease. He always prepped me before going into court, and I was never blindsided by anything as he always made sure to explain the process upfront. He never made any unrealistic promises or guarantees, but he was always willing to try to accomplish everything I asked of him. At the initial arraignment the prosecutor did offer a plea deal so if I plead guilty to use I would have to pay heavy fines, I would be on probation, my driver's license would have been immediately suspended, I wouldn't have been allowed to leave the state, and I would have had a misdemeanor on my record for 7 years and after the 7 years I would be able to get it expunged. Like I said earlier; hiring Heath Lynch and having him work out a different plea deal I only ended up with a minimal fine, probation, and automatic expungement after the 6 months so no misdemeanor on my record, I can leave the state, and I kept my driver's license. If anyone should need legal representation in MI I strongly encourage that you utilize Heath Lynch.
