About
I have always focused my law career on exclusively Criminal Law. For many years -during and after college - I worked as a paralegal for Legal Aid (poverty law firms) in Oregon, all over Massachusetts and Illinois as both a college student and later as a VISTA volunteer between college and law school. In law school I interned at the Federal Prosecutor's office in Eugene, Oregon - and later as a third year DA at the Lane County District Attorney's office. Later - after law school - I worked as a law clerk directly for a famous criminal law judge in Denver Colorado followed closely thereafter by a lengthy and well known career as a Senior Career District Attorney for the Arapahoe, Douglas, Lincoln and Elbert County District Attorney (the Colorado 18th Judicial District) for almost 13 years. In 1999 - I opened my Denver Tech Center law firm and have successfully defended thousands of clients over the past 16 plus years. I use all of that experience every day of my life to benefit my clients both tactically and strategically in defending their cases. During the last 35 years - I have gained a tremendous amount of courtroom and real life experience in the trenches.- before juries, and tough judges ... not behind a desk. Many of my cases have been high profile and I have been a guest commentator on several national cable networks, I am frequently quoted in national and Colorado newspapers and I publish my own Colorado Criminal Law Blog to stay on top of Colorado and national criminal law issues. My Blog - www.Colorado-Criminal-Lawyer-Online.com I have been a teacher at two police academies and guest instruct at both law enforcement and criminal defense seminars on a regular basis. Most of all - I am the proud father of two fantastic children - one in law school - the other a senior in college. They, and my wonderful wife, are my life and ultimately what really matters at the end of the day. When I find time to feed my hobbies, I love to read, sail on my sailboat, kayak, work out five days a week, ski and, yes, I am a computer nerd ( at 6 foot 1 inch and 260 pounds) ... of sorts. I love what I do -- and greatly enjoy the analysis of tough Colorado Criminal cases.- and I am good at it. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case. HMS

I am a recent client of Mr. Steinberg that faced some very serious criminal charges including a felony that could have imprisoned me the rest of my life. Mr. Steinberg not only has knowledge and experience but was also a master at working with a very difficult court and DA. He exhibited his expert skills in court but also kept me informed and grounded through the very difficult times. He was always there when needed and worked tenaciously on my case. The result was charges dismissed and I kept a very good job that had been put in jeopardy. I highly recommend Mr. Steinberg for your defense. He not only obtains the best outcome but he also does everything possible to keep the costs as reasonable as possible. I simply owe my freedom for the rest of my life to Mr. Steinberg. Thank you!
While vacationing in Colorado, I got in a DUI accident and hired Mr. Steinberg to represent me due to his extensive experience and expertise as both a defense lawyer and former DA. The charges were serious and I was facing potential jail time in Colorado which would have meant the loss of a very good job in my home state. With several facts against my case, Mr. Steinberg was straight forward with me about what I was facing but that didn’t stop him from working hard to get me the best possible outcome. During our 1st court appearance, Mr. Steinberg negotiated a suspended jail sentence and probation for the DUI with other charges being dismissed or deferred with eventual dismissal. I’m so grateful for the outcome as it has enabled me to keep my job and provide for my family. More importantly, this incident thrust me back into recovery after having relapsed after a few years of sobriety. Mr. Steinberg was very compassionate regarding my struggle with addiction and has encouraged me as I've sought treatment. I wouldn't have the hope for the future I now have if it weren't for him. - JM
I was facing 6 years of prison for a probation violation, scared out of my mind. Michael walked me through a 10 month process and ultimately kept me free. He has a deep understanding of the law, and noticed things that most lawyers would miss.. He also argued in court with an authencity and passion that belongs in movies. Together, those 2 traits, born from 40 years experience, kept me out of prison. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I rate Michael a 10.
From the very beginning, Michael was extremely professional and organized. His communication was on point. He kept me informed on the process and status of my case continuously through email, text and by phone calls. FYI: he is very short and direct. To some, this may come off the wrong way. Just remember, you hired somebody to protect you, not to be your friend. Against all odds he was able to help me get a reduced sentencing from a DUI to a DWAI. I believe a lot of it was because the information he bundled together and presented to the DA. I would be in a much worse spot without him today. Thank you Michael.
I was referred to Mr. Steinberg from another lawyer regarding my case for a petition to deregister as a sex offender here in Colorado from a crime that was committed in Oregon. Originally, that was the premise of retaining him and I later found out that he had extensive connections within Oregon, as he had gone to law school there. Mr. Steinberg spent countless hours on my case and ultimately found out that I was not guilty of the charge that my lawyer in Oregon had me plead to. He reached out to the District Attorney in Oregon and explained the situation and presented his findings so that I was ultimately dismissed of the charge in Oregon, relieving my duty to register here in Colorado. I had consulted numerous lawyers prior that who hardly gave me the time of day, but Mr. Steinberg went above and beyond, ultimately getting the charge dismissed from my record. If I had not been referred to Mr. Steinberg, then I would have continued to deal with the consequences of this charge for the rest of my life. I would recommend Mr. Steinberg to anyone searching for a highly knowledgeable attorney that goes above and beyond what a typical lawyer would do. My life is significantly better now and I have Mr. Steinberg to thank for all his hard work. -Sam
Atty Steinberg represented my son in a case that could have had a devastating effect on his future. He made it clear from the start that their would be consequences but promised to fight for a fair settlement and delivered. I appreciate the fact that he didn't foster false hopes but in the same breath fought to make sure he would not end up in a system that could only demolish any hope of him growing into a productive citizen.
Michael is not only a skilled criminal Attorney, he guided me and my family through a very serious charge with compassion, giving us the feeling that he was on our side and believed justice and truth would prevail!
Michael Steinberg is an amazing attorney with exceptional knowledge about criminal law. He was honest, straightforward and let me know what was happening when it was happening and what to expect. My case turned out extremely better then I thought it would and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for the best outcome in a criminal case. Not only was he my attorney, but he is also a friend and I will turn to him whenever I'm in need of help again. Thanks for all you do.
Michael is not only my attorney but also my idol. I am a new and young immigrant, not only Michael helped me win my comprehensive and severe case with the best outcome of beyond my imagination, but also he gave me so much attention and love like a father. I feel extremely comfortable with him. Furthermore, his great professionalism and deep knowledge of the Colorado criminal system/law is highly appreciated, both by the legal system and me. I want to give Michael a 10/10 stars if I can. I highly recommend Michael. He is the BEST! YQ (Patrick)
I was arrested for misdemeanor indecent exposure, which if convicted in the state of Colorado puts you on the sex offender register along with possible fines and incarceration. Mr. Steinberg’s extensive experience and knowledge of the courts as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney gave my family and I confidence in his representation during a difficult time. He was prompt, clear and consistent in all communication. He was very helpful while explaining the proceedings, looking at the larger picture and how the prosecution would view the case. He gave realistic expectations for various possible outcomes and acted with diligence on my behalf. Ultimately the case was dismissed, which was a big relief since I was falsely accused. With sincerity and gratitude, I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs an attorney. - JK
