Grand Rapids Criminal Defense Law Firm
Overview
If you are arrested, you can hire a lawyer with a diverse practice. You would be wiser, however, to hire a lawyer who does nothing but fight to minimize the pain of prosecution — like those at SBBL Law, serving people like you in Grand Rapids and Fremont, Michigan.

If you are arrested, you can hire a lawyer with a diverse practice. You would be wiser, however, to hire a lawyer who does nothing but fight to minimize the pain of prosecution — like those at SBBL Law, serving people like you in Grand Rapids and Fremont, Michigan.
We can truthfully claim to be one of the top criminal defense firms in West Michigan. Gary Springstead was a special agent for the FBI prior to practicing law. Michael Bartish served with the Army Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps. Their experience on both sides of federal criminal law is unequaled in our area.
Attorneys Springstead and Bartish were named Rising Stars in Michigan Super Lawyers magazine from 2011 through 2013 and earned Superb 10.0 ratings on Avvo. They are respected for their work in both state and federal courts and for the results they obtain for clients.
The ideal outcome to any criminal charge is dismissal of the case. When this is not in the cards, we work to exclude evidence, get charges reduced to less serious offenses or obtain a not guilty verdict at trial. We also fight for clients at the appellate level. We file motions for departures and variances from federal sentencing guidelines, reducing the pain of conviction.
We are just as effective in state criminal defense. We defend against the full range of charges, including property crimes, crimes of violence, sexual offenses, drug crimes, weapons charges, fraud and deportable offenses. We are also among the most effective DUI attorneys in the region from Fremont to Grand Rapids.
West Michigan is our home, and we provide zealous, intelligent defense to clients. Criminal defense is all we do — isn't your freedom worth choosing the very best?
