About The Criminal Defense Firm Denver

About Our Colorado Criminal Defense Law Firm

H.Michael Steinberg is a Former Colorado Career Senior District Attorney  (D.A.) Whose Law Practice Now Focuses on Denver and the Front Range of Colorado and is Exclusively Limited to Trial and Negotiation in Criminal Law Matters

Mr. Steinberg is an experienced former Senior Trial District Attorney whose thirteen year career as a prosecuting attorney in the courtrooms of the Denver Metropolitan area (Senior Career District Attorney in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties) and the Front Range of Colorado have led to an exclusive law practice of criminal defense with a strong emphasis on the trial phase of legal advocacy. 

Mr. Steinberg's trial experience, along with a personal commitment to his clients and an aggressive continuing legal education philosophy, combine to maintain a solid reputation for professionalism and quality of service in the Denver Metropolitan area.

The firm offers total litigation services in a supportive, hands-on environment.  As a trial lawyer and teacher, Mr. Steinberg's philosophy is grounded in the strong belief that his clients should be fully informed of every aspect of their case as the case progresses.  Each of his clients is provided an education in the law (perhaps more than they want to know!) while receiving complete coverage in every phase of their case.

Many criminal cases can be resolved through negotiations between a seasoned criminal defense lawyer and a reasonable prosecutor.  But not all cases can, or should, be resolved in that manner.  Experience is the difference.  Knowing when an offer should be accepted - or - rejected is critical to achieving the best possible result. Experience in pre-trial motions practice, evidenciary suppression hearings and jury trials is important to the effective defense of a person charged with having committed a criminal act.

Excellence in the courtroom is the result of years of trial and courtroom experience. For the last twenty 26 years, Mr. Steinberg has successfully tried jury trials and presented cases of all types before some of the toughest and well-known judges in the Denver area. He has handled criminal cases of virtually every conceivable variety and looks forward to each new case as a fresh challenge to succeed and bring about a good result for his clients.
