Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney Specializing in Criminal Law in Denver and the Front Range for Over 28 Years
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 criminal law for over 28 years–half that time as a career district attorney (DA), the other half as a Colorado 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 has been arrested and charged with a crime in Denver or anywhere along the Front Range of Colorado, or learned that either of you is 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 who 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 many 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 28 years, I’ve built a well-established and solid reputation as a skilled Denver Colorado criminal defense attorney among my peers, prosecutors, and the judiciary in the Denver metropolitan area .
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 possible crime in the Colorado Criminal Code, 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 under the influence 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 personally handle every matter through conclusion. 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 important, 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.
