SBBL Law

SBBL Law is a criminal defense firm distinguished by a leadership team drawn from former federal prosecutors, FBI agents, and Army JAG officers. The firm is dedicated to standing between clients and the force of the criminal justice system, offering disciplined navigation, clear communication, and strategic defense. National-caliber experience and Midwestern integrity shape an approach centered on discretion, precision, and consistently strong outcomes in sensitive, high-stakes matters.

SBBL Law offers focused representation across DUI/OWI, drug crimes, sex crimes, violent offenses, white-collar and corporate investigations, federal criminal matters, internal investigations, Title IX proceedings, expungements, misdemeanors, juvenile matters, and post-conviction appeals. Partners with extensive federal backgrounds lead each specialty area, tailoring defense strategies informed by experience investigating and prosecuting complex cases. Knowledge of government tactics, investigative procedures, and evidentiary frameworks strengthens the firm’s ability to build effective defenses across Michigan and in federal jurisdictions nationwide.

SBBL Law traces its origins to 2011, when its founders united to introduce a modern, defense-focused practice to western Michigan backed by insider knowledge of federal investigative processes. Over subsequent years, additional former Assistant U.S. Attorneys joined the leadership team, expanding the firm’s capabilities and depth. The collective experience of the partners in federal agencies and major criminal investigations forms the foundation of a defense model built on preparation, clarity, and refined legal strategy.

SBBL Law has grown into a firm serving individuals and corporations across the country, operating from offices in Grand Rapids and Fremont. The firm’s attorneys regularly appear in federal courts, statewide circuit courts, and institutions handling Title IX matters. A commitment to excellence, integrity, empathy, and innovation remains central to the firm’s identity, guiding every phase of defense representation from initial investigation through negotiation, litigation, and resolution.
