The Criminal Justice System

The following Hyperlinks (below) will take you to over twenty five webpages full of information on the Criminal Justice System.

Often when we are in a crisis we are desperate for information that will clarify what is happening to us so that we can make good decisions among our options. My website is dedicated to that theme.

As an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney, I work hard to represent my clients at every stage in the case. While I advise my clients as to what I think they should do when they must make an important decision, unlike many in my profession, I don’t “treat” my clients. Decisions are made jointly, calmly and intelligently with every opportunity for participation by the client in the formulation of each critical move.

I hope the following topics prove helpful to you. Please contact me should you desire a consultation to see if you need an attorney.

"I found myself in criminal trouble, that I wasn't guilty of and thanks to Mr. Steinberg's dedication and hard work, right before we we're looking at having to continue on to trial level Mr. Steinberg was able to use his vast knowledge of the law and his many respected years in the system to find a way to show my innocence. After a very unsure and somewhat difficult time for me, this very skilled and knowledgeable attorney was able to find the right path to take to reach a dismissal in my case. For that I can't tell you how much I appreciate his representation and his excellent understanding and helpful personality. He's a great man and an even better attorney but don't misunderstand him, he is an attorney not a therapist. Thanks H." Josh

"Working with Michael Steinberg was a wonderful experience. Truly people need to know that he is a expert in what he does. His personality is compassionate, intellectual, and down to earth. I glean that Michael is fun to be around. In the time I worked with him, it was a pleasure to be around him. As for my case, the outcome was amazing and couldn’t be better. He has made my life more manageable because of the outcome of my case. I’ve worked with other lawyers in the Denver area. He is superior to them all. If you’re in need of a lawyer and you come across Mr. Steinberg look no further he’s going to be the one you need. Thank you again Michael." Renee Taylor
