What Past Clients Have To Say

Professional Excellence

Well, this is not a typical review you would see on a defense attorney review. However, kudos and praise need to be given when deserved. I am a retired Sergeant and Detective who had several cases with Attorney Steinberg. I have never seen an attorney be so tenacious about representing his client(s) and fighting for them to make sure that justice was on the right side. Along with seeing that his clients were treated fairly and equitably in front of the district and circuit court judges. Attorney Steinberg is brilliant in his arguments and is even more so in cross-examination.

As a former Police Officer, he taught me that if you don’t have all the facts in your case, he will punch holes through it! It is not about to win or lose with Attorney Steinberg, it is about getting to the truth of the matter and representing that. If an attorney ever deserved 10 stars, Attorney Steinberg absolutely has earned them! Great attorney!!

Compassionate Advocacy

I’ve never met a person more caring, thoughtful, and proactive human and lawyer than Michael Steinberg. Through difficult circumstances, my family found ourselves in need of a lawyer. Though I didn’t know him well, Michael is a long-time friend of my husband, so we reached out for his help. Not only was he there to answer every email, text, and phone call, but he brought a calm and level-headed dialogue and approach to each step we navigated. Michael went out of his way to make sure we were informed, prepared, and comfortable. He also made sure to touch base with all other legal personnel involved, ensuring that every base was covered.

Once everything was said and done, he followed up to make sure we were satisfied, safe, taken care of, and supported. Michael is not only a knowledgeable, well-rounded, kind, and professional lawyer, but he also deeply cares for the well-being, safety, and future of those he works with. We would recommend him to any and all lucky enough to cross his path. Michael will be a friend for life.

Understanding Support

Michael did a great job in representing us. He was thorough and we ended up with a much better outcome than we were hoping for. He made us feel much better about our situation and was truly understanding in what we were going through. He told us, when we first met, that part of his job was to take the stress off of us and let him take care of things. He did just that.

My fiancé is on the autism spectrum and Michael worked through the situation with us wonderfully, with understanding and compassion. He was completely accessible and easy to communicate with. We so much appreciate him being there for us during such a stressful time. We are more than pleased with the outcome and so glad that we chose Michael.

Hopefully we will not be needing his services again, but in the event, he would definitely be our first call.

We highly recommend Michael and are so appreciative for his kindness and what he has done for us.

Dedicated Loyalty

We are so happy with Michael Steinberg, He stood by us for over 2 yrs in our case. He dug deep into the situation we were in and made sure we understood what we were up against. He never sugar-coated anything. He always answered our calls and texts, we never had to question his abilities. He made us feel at ease throughout our process by being respectful and compassionate along communicating with us throughout our court dates. I hope We never have to use him again But if we do, he will be the first we call. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a hard offense.

I want to thank you Mr. Steinberg for all your hard work in our case, you truly are a great attorney and person..

Client Focused

Mr. Steinberg treated me like a person where other lawyers shrugged me off, promised to call me and forgot about me. Mr. Steinberg was available and answered my questions with care. He also did not waste time in his explanation or waste time in tackling my issues, he handled everything as fast as he could. Lawyers are expensive, this one is worth it.

Do yourself a favor and just call Mr Steinberg, if you dont believe me then call around like I did. You will probably have the same experience that I did with every other lawyer leaving a sour feeling. Thank you so much for everything sir.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A dedicated and tireless fighter for people facing overreach by the court systems.  Not only was he transparent, but communication was top notch, which, if you're facing legal trouble, is a big factor in keeping your demeanor on a day to day basis.  I can't recommend Mr. Steinberg enough.  Thank you for your advocacy, Mike.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was facing serious charges,  day one he was on my case contacting the courts.
For months before my case started he was there advising me on what would and what could happen.
If you are facing any charges against you contact him right away, he saved my future.
He got my charges dropped to the lowest possible charge.
Michael is the best,  and he is the best choice for your future.
As we were walking out of court the judge said he was a very good lawyer and I was very lucky that he was on my side.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He really is a good lawyer! He recently represented my loved one and he was determined, direct and communicated very well to let me know what was going on. The situation didn’t end how we wanted but it could’ve  been a lot worse without mike and he was honest and told us ahead of time what we were up against.
