Colorado Criminal Attorney Specializing in Criminal Defense Law in Denver, Colorado

H. Michael Steinberg - Colorado Criminal Defense Specialist Mr. Steinberg graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1978, cum laude (with honors) with a B.A. in Legal Studies/Honors Studies. Thereafter he graduated from the University of Oregon Law School in 1982. and came to the great state of Colorado. His first position as an attorney was to work side by side with one of the great District Court judges of the Denver bench, the Honorable Alvin D. Litchenstein. Judge Litchenstein taught Mr. Steinberg the meaning of hard work to accomplish just results in, and out, of the courtroom. As a career district attorney for over twelve years, Mr. Steinberg has handled several thousand serious felony cases and countless misdemeanor and traffic cases. He has taken dozens of jury trials to verdict and has argued hundreds of contested adversarial hearings while actively engaged in the practice of trial and appellate law in the Denver Area area for the last seventeen years. From 1984 to 1997, Mr. Steinberg was a Senior Trial Deputy District Attorney for the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office - the second largest judicial district in the State of Colorado. Mr. Steinberg prosecuted numerous top level felony cases, including several high profile felony crimes of violence and white collar criminal cases (see below). Mr. Steinberg stays up to date with the ever changing area of criminallaw - for many years he has been an instructor at the Community College of Aurora. Mr. Steinberg also teaches law enforcement officers and cadets at sheriff and police academies along the front range...among them the Colorado Sheriffs Training Institute , and the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Training Academy as well as the retraining of the security forces at Rocky Flats -(which involves the retooling of the armed and unarmed uniformed protective force involved in the physical protection of the DOE/Rocky Flats ETS property site). Among the courses he regularly teaches are Constitutional Law - emphasis on all aspects of search and seizure law, Juvenile Law, Torts and Personal Injury Law, Evidence, Criminal Law and Procedure, Criminology, Use of Force, Courtroom Testimony, the civil liability of police officers and several other courses relating to law enforcement issues. Mr. Steinberg's experience also includes an extensive foundation in appellate work. As a former Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Colorado, Criminal Enforcement Section, he has pursued several complex appeals in the Colorado Court of Appeals and in the Colorado Supreme Court on behalf of the the State. Several of those cases have made new law in the state. He now brings that appellate experience to bear on behalf of his clients Many of Mr. Steinberg's cases have been published by the Colorado Court of Appeal and the Colorado Supreme Court. When you are being accused of criminal conduct, what you need is a attorney who is just as driven by the desire to defend people as the prosecutor is driven by the need to prosecute. Civil attorneys, to me meaning attorneys who devote less than half of their practice to criminal defense, usually concern themselves with proving a case. They handle cases by presenting proof of some injury caused by the other side. Criminal defense attorneys think in terms of attacking a case, knowing that they must focus on what the other side is trying to prove so that this 'proof' can be picked apart, piece by piece. Criminal defense attorneys appreciate that the opponent must prove a charge against their client "beyond a reasonable doubt," a standard of proof that must be exploited, a standard of proof much higher than civil attorneys apply in their cases. And criminal defense attorneys attack cases with tools never used by civil attorneys. Motions to suppress interviews and statements, to suppress evidence seized from an office, home or computer, or to exclude business records, are examples of such tools. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the United States Constitution are such tools. The complex and ever changing caselaw relating to crimes, criminal procedure and criminal evidence is another such tool, a tool that is not used well by a attorney who doesn't practice in the criminal courts daily. Unless your attorney regularly deals with such criminal law issues, his or her imagination may not be primed to seize upon the subtle nuances of the facts which will permit the fashioning of a winning defense.

H. Michael Steinberg

Being charged with any criminal offense is a frightening experience. You need to know your rights under the law and act to protect them immediately - before memories fade, evidence is lost, or witnesses disappear. Don't wait to get help from a lawyer. The longer your attorney has before trial, (whether it is this law firm, or another) the better and stronger your defense can be.

Perhaps more than any other area of law, experience is crucial for an attorney representing individuals in criminal cases. H. Michael Steinberg has been practicing Colorado Cirminal Law for over 26 years...one half that time as a Career District Attorney the other half as a Colroado Criminal Defense Attorney.

Because the penalties for incompetence in a criminal defense case may be particularly devastating to the client, there is no substitute for daily experience in court... day after day ..year after year.

If you or a loved one have been arrested and charged with a crime in Denver or anywhere along the Front Range of Colorado, or have learned that you may be the subject or target of a Colorado State or federal criminal investigation, the most important decision you can make is deciding who will represent you in fighting against these charges....or in putting a halt to the investigation.

Being accused of a crime is a very serious matter and having a criminal conviction on your record will have long-standing and devastating consequences for you and your family.

Given the stakes, when searching for a Denver Colorado Criminal Lawyer that you or your family can rely on, you should find a defense attorney who:

Possesses the highest level of professional skills
Has successfully represented people accused of wrongdoing for years
Can assure you and your family that you will receive the kind of personalized attention and care that you deserve

My name is H. Michael Steinberg and over the last 26 years, I've built a well established and solid reputation among my peers, prosecutors and the judiciary in the Denver metropolitan area as a skilled Denver Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney.

More important though, is the reputation I have with my clients.

During my two plus decades of practice, I've represented, and quite frankly, prosecuted as a Career Prosecutor -DA) thousands of clients in criminal defense matters in the Colorado State courts. I therefore have a thorough knowledge of Colorado Criminal Law from BOTH sides of the courtroom.

My clients have been accused of every crime in the book, ranging from the most serious charges such as murder, drug trafficking and sexual assaults to white collar crimes such as conspiracy, mail, wire and insurance fraud and racketeering.

Clients with misdemeanor charges like shoplifting and driving while intoxicated receive the same attention as those charged with the most serious crimes. I do not assign my cases to a young associate. It is my law firm and I take the care to handle every matter through conclusion personally. You will communicate with me at every stage of the case -- no one else... period.

In a number of cases, I become involved at such an early stage of the investigation, I am able to convince the authorities not to charge my clients at all.

But most importantly, I know that to a client and their family, all criminal charges are serious matters - no matter how minor they are. Every case and every client deserves an attorney who will do everything possible to gain a dismissal, a reduction of the charges, or if possible, an acquittal of the charges. That is exactly what I promise to do for you....do everything possible and do it for a reasonable fee.

Domestic Violence Charges
