Excellent Lawyer

My experience and review of Heath M. Lynch and the office of Springstead Bartish & Borgula Law, PLLC. My inquiry was answered in the form of a same day call. A free thirty-minute conversation with attorney Heath M. Lynch (Which I am certain the conversation went well over the thirty minutes). During ...this conversation, a lot was covered in detail about my cases two retail fraud's in the third degree with the 63rd district court and what the end result would be. Mr. Lynch was very knowledgeable and provided as much information as possible and answered all of my questions with honesty. After I inquired about my cases I decided and was convinced from my conversation with Mr. Lynch that I would be moving forward with having Mr. Lynch represent me as my attorney. I was honest with Mr. Lynch and informed him that it would take me a while to gather my finances to bring him on as my attorney as my finances were already tied up with another attorney that I paid for in full and the attorney I had refused to provide a partial refund back in any way. Mr. Lynch was very patient and professional as he waited several weeks for me to gather my finances to acquire his services. Throughout these weeks Mr. lynch kept in communication via text from his personal cellular phone just to get the status of my situation financially. I did not feel pressed at all by Mr. Lynch as no pressure was applied for me to gather the finances. Mr. Lynch followed up with me for several weeks as I gathered the finances out of genuine concern, concern that we were falling short on time as my court date was not far away and Mr. Lynch wanted to be well prepared for the cases and wanted to make sure that he provided my cases the time and attention that was required for each case. I was at a loss for words that Mr. Lynch took the time to follow up with me over the several weeks that he did as I know from experience that there are not many if any attorneys that will do such a thing and for free at that. It turned out that I was not able to come up with the finances in time I literally gathered the finances to acquire Mr. Lynch's services a day or two before I was do in court. Mr. Lynch, however, took on my case and worked fast to have my cases arranged for a later date and time I felt relieved and thankful as I knew then that Mr. Lynch would do all that he could to better defend me in court. Now forwarding to my next court date I appeared to court but thanks to Mr. Lynch I did not have to appear in front of the judge or the prosecutor. The prosecutor at this time was attempting to make all sort of deals, of course, however, Mr. Lynch looked for several alternatives before we finally accepted something I agreed to. Mr. Lynch made sure I was getting the best sentence possible. Mr. Lynch went out of his way to make contact with several individuals to see if I could qualify for diversion programs, unfortunately, I did not qualify (No fault of Mr. Lynch) During this process Mr. Lynch was very honest and went over the information several times with me before I finally accepted. In addition, he looked out for my best interest in making sure that once I accepted a deal the terms remained the same and nothing changed verbally or in writing. My only regret at this point was not finding Mr. Lynch sooner especially since the previous attorney I hired did not do anything for me but waste my time and take my money as I was doing all of the work paying for and picking up police reports as an example further I could never get a hold of this other attorney no personal cellar phone to text like Mr. Lynch even when I would contact the office and leave messages I would not get a response I would eventually get a hold of this other attorney days later after attempting to make contact again from my end and when I would finally get a hold of this other attorney he did not have much if any information at all on my cases. I was lied to by this other attorney several times at one point in short wor

Electric Forest

When my son found out he could be facing charges from the Electric Forest festival, we reached out to Springstead Bartish and Borgula Law. Heath returned our inquiry and was available to us on his personal cell phone from the beginning. We were in touch with him many times before we made the decision... to hire him and each time he was responsive. He explained what we would be dealing with during the process and answered our many questions. Most importantly, we could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our case. This law firm claims to be knowledgeable about Electric Forest and they do not disappoint. I would highly recommend Heath for an Electric Forest case or anything else you may be facing. He will come along side you and be there for you from beginning to end. He is well connected, patient, understanding, and informed. I don't know that anyone else would have been able to get the end result for us that he did. We couldn't be happier.

great defender

A family member was facing simultaneous 4-year felony and 90-day misdemeanor charges. Not knowing where to turn, we hired Mr. Lynch based on his and his firm's strong reviews, and especially because we thought Mr. Lynch's background as a former prosecutor and his current work as a defender would giv...e him key insights into the prosecutor's thinking in the case, into what kinds of deals might be possible, and into what would be required for a successful defense. With Mr. Lynch working for us on the case, the felony charges were dropped, and the misdemeanor sentence included no jail time. Furthermore, Mr. Lynch is a very likeable, pleasant person, clearly knows not only the details of the laws but also how the legal system itself functions, and was very easy to work with. Mr. Lynch kept our family informed about the case progress, about what to expect as work on the case continued, about usual time-lines for such cases, etc. Beyond that, Mr. Lynch fully understood the defendant's parents's concerns, and returned phone calls and emails, answering their questions, and explaining his strategies as the case went along. Since the parents were not actually the defendant Mr. Lynch was representing, he may well have had no legal duty to do that, but his willingness to talk to family members and to keep the family informed were deeply appreciated and important to all of us in the family. We truly appreciate what he did, and absolutely recommend him.

Look no further

As Mr. Heath Lynch will probably tell you, he regularly meets his clients on one of the worst days of their life. This was certainly true in my case. I stood accused of a violent felony and was facing years in prison. Heath sat with me, took the time to understand the intricacies of my legal situa...tion and immediately got to work pursuing several avenues of defense. As a former Federal prosecutor, Heath possessed a unique insight into not only how to properly mount a defense but into the actions of the prosecution as well. This served to make me feel much more reassured and confident as time and again, one situation after another played out exactly as he predicted it would. Heath mounted a rigorous pre-trial defense, while keeping me well-informed as to his strategy, progress, and likely counter-moves of the prosecution. At every stage of the process I was presented with options and, more importantly, explanations of those options and the consequences thereof. He exuded confidence and tranquility both in the courtroom and outside of it; had we gone to a jury trial instead of the plea deal route that I requested, he would have made a daunting opponent for the State. Six months later, my felony charge had been reduced to a misdemeanor and instead of facing years in prison I had a maximum possible sentence of 93 days. That alone would have been a huge victory, but Heath wasn't done just yet. As we entered the endgame stage of the case, Heath was able to wrangle a plea deal that not only would have been unthinkable at the onset of my case, but also protected me from the possibility of a civil lawsuit in the same matter. By the time we were finished, I walked away from the courtroom with a light probation sentence owing mostly to Heath's expertise and knowledge of the criminal justice system. I can't imagine having to try to navigate the waters of the criminal justice system unaided by someone such as Heath; he was the Virgil to my Dante and helped me to escape the inferno of what could easily have been a life-ruining matter. Talk to him; retain him; for me it was the best decisions I could have made, right on the heels of some of the worst decisions of my life.

No better Lawyer

I was a client of Health Lynch. Health Lynch and his support staff at Springstead, Bartish & Borgula Law PLLC came highly recommend from out of state law firms. It went to show me that their reputation wasn’t local but over multiple states and I was in good hands. He really cares about his clients a...nd was very detail orientated when preparing for my case and during the trial. From start to finish he was relentless and hard working. Quick response when I left a text, called or emailed him. He helped me get my life back and can’t thank him or the law firm enough.
