Law Office of H. Michael Steinberg

There is no substitute for 28 years in the courtrooms of the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area and the Front Range–with thirteen of those years as a senior career felony prosecutor in Arapahoe County, Colorado, Colorado’s second largest judicial district.

All lawyers know in their hearts (despite what they may tell you) that there has never been, nor will there ever be, a substitute for time in the courtroom, and the seasoning that only comes with long years of day-to-day warfare in the trenches of the courthouse.
-H. Michael Steinberg
