Michael has a calm, easy demeanor that put us at ease and we felt he was always approachable. He is a professional with added empathy that we truly appreciated.
Michael responded promptly and to the point, resulting in our confidence with this firm.
Throughout these many months we observed that he is well respected in the community and has earned, no doubt, the respect through his staunch mores and commitment to his vocation.
I would highly recommend Michael to anyone that is seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront.

Very thorough, professional and the man knows his stuff.
This attorney is awful! He takes my husband's case for DV (which was BS in the 1st place) and charges a flat fee of $3000. My husband got an offer by the DA the 1st day, No DV (DA stated there wasn’t any evidence that would show DV), offers a deferred judgement with another minor charge, probation, a mental health evaluation and possible anger management classes.
My husband didn't take it as Steinberg states that the lesser charge was "indeed still a DV charge and the DA is lying to him and that charge is 100% without a doubt a DV charge and they can't change the law to make it not a DV charge". Also goes on to explain how bad it can be for him to have the courts require a mental health evaluation, how that can be tragic and he’d NEVER let the court give that to one of his clients. So there is a continuance for discovery. We followed up multiple times with him for copies of the 911 call, police reports, court documents, etc that he stated he would provide us as soon as he got them. We would have requested them ourselves, if we were smart, but we figured he was hired to do a job and would provide them to us, as promised. Steinberg literally starts working on the case, listening to the 911 call, etc - the DAY of court, takes my husband into a room, proceeds to him he's guilty and he should take the offer that he supposedly "negotiated" with the DA, which was the EXACT SAME offer from Day 1 and now, somehow, it's a great deal and the lesser charge actually was NOT a DV charge after all, asks my husband if he heard the 911 call (which he hadn’t due to the fact that he promised to get it to him and hadn’t yet) and proceeded to tell him how awful of a call it was and he’s lucky he isn’t being charged with DV and screamed at my husband about how he doesn't have a case, he's guilty and to take the deal. There was no defense, no attempt at getting anything reduced. My husband was so stressed about the entire thing in the 1st place, didn’t know what was said on that 911 call, he took the deal (I wish I could've talked to him about it before he agreed because I would have had him to go trial because even though the attorney promised me he'd call me while he was talking to my husband about his options and what it would look like, he didn’t, and while we tried to do this all in advance of court, he hadn’t reviewed the case at all to do so) After court and my husband agreeing to the DA’s deal, he emailed over all the documents and we listened to the 911 call there was nothing in that call that made him sound “guilty” (and I knew there wasn’t and wouldn’t be), the only reason 911 was even called was a suicide threat was made and we were trying to get help and protection (which doesn’t work, by the way, so don’t involve the police, it just makes things worse). The "great deal” he was being offered (again, EXACT same deal as day 1) still included that mental health evaluation and now Steinberg totally changes his tone from the last court date and everything is such a great deal now. He did NOTHING for $3000. Literally NOTHING!! Don’t hire this guy, don’t trust him! Read back on other reviews, he tells multiple people they are guilty as well. Guilty or not (in our case it was a NOT, but even if he was) that is not what a defense attorney is there for. They need to provide a DEFENSE – not tell you you’re guilty and just take your money. He should be ashamed of himself and I wish I would have been on that phone call, like he promised, and could have talked my husband into firing this scam artist attorney and hiring a REAL attorney. BEWARE! Go somewhere else!
H. Michael Steinberg is the attorney you want in your corner. I have known
Mr. Steinberg for nearly two decades. His knowledge base is vast, his skills
impeccable, and his integrity beyond reproach. Working with clients under
challenging conditions, Mr. Steinberg's manner is compassionate, patient,
and gracious. He is the consummate professional.
Many law firms just send whichever lawyer is free to handle different appearances in court, however Michael doesn't do this-you always get him.
As a former prosecutor, he knew TONS of people around Arapahoe county and he definately pulls some weight. His muscle combined with careful calculation of every small factor in the case really is the winning combination of 'good stuff'.
I will say, he is a busy guy.....and definately doesn't have time to 'babysit'....With him, just have faith. When it counts, he is 120%.
I can confidently say I don't think ANY other lawyer would have delivered a better result. Would I use him again? In a second! (although hope I never need to). I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in that nerve racking place of picking the right lawyer!
Michael Steinberg's extensive background as both a prosecutor then defender brings with it a confident knowledge of the Law and the system. And, as someone who appreciates frank honesty, he pulls no punches about what to expect and what is possible.
My case ended better than I could have hoped for thanks to Michael's honest counsel, his vast knowledge and his sharp, fact-based arguments.
