I've worked with Michael for over a year now. I had a very a complex case with some fairly significant consequences. Michael worked with me through the entire process and identified the facts that would impact the case and produce the most favorable outcome. Michael is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to both the law and the system in Colorado. More importantly, Mr. Steinberg understood the practical aspects of my case and was able to articulate in no uncertain terms what the potential outcomes would be. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for solid representation, a high touch experience and a realistic picture of the potential outcomes of their case. ...read more

I have spoken with a variety of clients and potential clients over the years about how they choose their attorney. Sometimes I receive calls from those who wish they had chosen differently. Unfortunately, those calls often come after substantial damage to the client's case, or after significant stress, frustration, or all of the above. I believe in educating clients about the legal process, their rights, our strategies, and in keeping the lines of communication open throughout representation. Experience is important, energy is important, and knowledge is important. But perhaps one of the most important factors when choosing an attorney is whether you feel comfortable speaking with him or her. After meeting with an attorney you are considering hiring, do you feel they have your best interests in mind? Do you get the impression he or she will be open to answering your questions, and working with you to better understand all your choices? Is the attorney honest about the weak points in your case? My clients tend to know and understand what we are doing next and why. If you hope for that kind of attorney-client relationship, give me a call. ...read more

Seeking medical attention after a car accident is important, no matter what the severity of injuries. In other words, get medical care after a car accident for your injuries even if your injuries seem minor and see a doctor even if you don’t feel injured. If you require emergency care, call 9-1-1 or have somebody else do so. Some choose to go to the emergency department after leaving the scene. But others may make an appointment in the couple of days following the accident. Whatever the case, get a doctor to look over your injuries, and if the doctor suggests diagnostic tests, get these done. Why Seeking Medical Attention after a Car Accident is So Important If you have been in an auto accident, you may suffer from a little pain, but may notice no other external signs of injury. In such cases, many motorists simply assume that a painkiller will help, and that the visit to a hospital or doctor’s office is not really necessary. However, this is a major mistake. Neck pain, for instance, could be indicative of whiplash, or a more serious neck injury. Failing to get medical help for your injuries places you at risk of exacerbating your injuries to the point where they become untreatable. Also, if you fail to get medical help for your injuries, there may be no record of your injury, which can be problematic if you later file an insurance claim or pursue a personal injury lawsuit against a driver at fault for your wreck. If you delay seeking treatment, an insurance adjuster might later claim that the injuries you are claiming you suffered in the accident are actually related to another event that occurred afterward. Medical records are an important piece of evidence in your car accident claim. They can help establish that your injuries are accident-related, and can help demonstrate the extent of your damages. Therefore, seeking medical care is of the utmost importance, even if it seems that your injuries are not that serious. Further, getting a medical evaluation can help you start establish the long-term consequences and damages that you might suffer. In some cases, a medical expert might provide testimony about your injuries and the long-term effects for which your car accident claim should account. Get Medical Help as Soon as Possible As noted above, if you wait too long to get treatment, the other motorist or an insurer might argue that the injury occurred during the time between the accident and the time that you visited a doctor. In other words, it might be hard for you to prove that the injury was accident-related, which could harm your claim. So if you don’t need emergency attention at the scene, either visit an emergency department for care or set up an appointment with your doctor to evaluate your condition. Do not wait too long to set up your appointment, though. Try to get an appointment within the few days after the accident occurred. If at any time between the accident and your appointment you start to feel serious effects of the injury, you may need to visit an emergency department for care. Organize Your Medical Records Maintain a file of all your medical records related to the injury.Emergency treatmentDoctor appointmentsPrescription receiptsDoctor reportsDiagnostic scansLab reportsPhysical therapy progress reportsMedication prescription logsSoon after the accident, take pictures of your injury, both before treatment and after treatment. Add these photographs to your file. Take the file along when you go to meet with a car accident lawyer.
