Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Our Denver family law attorneys possess the negotiation skills to help clients obtain their fair share in a dispute. But not all cases require an even split, there are always variables to consider. Property, parenting time, and child support all must be divided, and most of the time this division does not go down the middle. We know how when to play nice and when to fight with everything we’ve got. And our results speak for themselves. Our reputation comes from hard work, dedication, and advocacy for our clients. We are constantly asking ourselves, “How can I increase my client’s chances of a good result?” Knowing the judges, the law, mediators, and our competition gives us – and you – the edge.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  You have to consider the possibility that your spouse is trying to gain leverage over you during any pending or current divorce proceedings. Colorado family law courts will be wary to assign child custody and alimony rights to anyone who has been accused and arrested for domestic violence, even if they have not been convicted. Your spouse might know as much and make intentionally false accusations against you to try to gain an advantage in your divorce or to spite you.
• Adoption
• Spousal Support
  Family law cases have an overwhelming emotional aspect that can be difficult to handle. Calculating child support, spousal maintenance (which used to be called alimony), and parenting time might look like numbers on a page, but our attorneys understand separations are more than numbers. At Springer & Steinberg, P.C., we want to protect what you have earned while maintaining the relationships you have created. Allow us to negotiate on your behalf, and let us be your counselor in these tough times.

• DUI/DWI
  Drivers in Colorado who have been pulled over, accused of, and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) face severe consequences.

• Sex Crimes
  In many sexual assault cases, we can use the defense of consent to prove to the court that our client did not commit sexual assault as it is defined in the law and, therefore, should not be convicted. If the alleged victim or accuser provided consent or acted in a way that a reasonable person would have thought consent was willingly given, then a conviction should not be justified.
• Robbery
  Robbery: The act of stealing an item from someone while they are present, such as taking a purse off someone’s shoulder. Robbery can be escalated to aggravated robbery or other charges if the act is committed through violence or intimidation.
• Burglary
  Burglary: The act of trespassing onto someone else’s property to commit another separate crime is burglary. People often associate burglary with theft because most people who trespass do so to steal something, like a wallet left unattended.
• White Collar Crimes
  White collar crimes get their name from the fact that most involve some sort of fraudulent activity that does not resort to violence, such as a crime that someone might conduct while sitting behind an office desk and wearing a suit. Even though white collar crimes are nonviolent by definition, prosecutors in Colorado do not show any leniency to white collar crime defendants. In fact, prosecutors may be overzealous to land a conviction in a high-stakes or high-profile white collar crimes case.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Your reputation and future are on the line if you have been accused of a theft crime in Colorado. Even a misdemeanor theft charge can penalize you with months behind bars and drain your finances with fines and administrative fees. Take control of the situation by coming to Springer & Steinberg, P.C. and working with our Denver theft crimes lawyers.

• Homicide
  Noe Gamez-Ruiz was charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide, Careless Driving Causing Death and Failure to Yield the Right-of-way to Stationary Emergency Vehicle after the semi-tractor-trailer he was driving on I-25 struck and killed Colorado State Trooper Cody Donohue. We represented Noe in two trials that ended in mistrials because the prosecution failed to disclose exculpatory evidence. To sanction the prosecution, the judge dismissed the Criminally Negligent Homicide charge. The prosecution appealed. On appeal, the Colorado Court of Appeals agreed with our argument that the judge properly dismissed the Criminally Negligent Homicide charge as a sanction for the prosecution’s discovery violations.
• Extortion
  Blackmail: Attempting to gain finances or private information from someone by threatening to release compromising information to the public is blackmail. If the threat of violence is involved, then blackmail could be charged as extortion instead.
• Hit and Run
  There is no question that being the victim of any accident is a traumatic experience. When you are involved in a Denver hit-and-run accident, it can be particularly devastating. Not only does the at-fault driver fail to stop and show any concern for the victims’ wellbeing, but the repercussions of their irresponsible actions continue to impact you well after the accident.

Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes
  At the heart of every transaction is a contract, even if it’s not in writing, which creates agreements between many types of parties including vendors, partners, employees, shareholders, general or sub- contractors, customers, and clients. Contract disputes arise out these and the multitude of other business relationships that people and companies create.

Employment Law

• Sexual Harassment
  We represented an entertainment business in a lawsuit filed by the business’ former employee. The former employee claimed that after complaining that another employee had sexually harassed her she was retaliated against by being fired. The judge dismissed the former employee’s Federal Civil Rights Act claim after we persuaded the Court that she was terminated for reasons unrelated to her sexual harassment complaint.

• Medical Malpractice
  Numerous medical mistakes are made annually across the United States, resulting in a staggering amount of unnecessary pain, suffering, and even death affecting patients and their families. Unfortunately, medical malpractice cases can be difficult, expensive, and hard-fought by both the physicians accused of wrongdoing and their insurance companies. If your family has been affected by this type of harm in any Colorado community, you should speak to experienced Denver medical malpractice attorneys about whether you have a claim and it would be worthwhile to file suit against a doctor, nurse, or hospital.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  When a person is injured on another’s property, he or she may have grounds for a premises liability injury case. One of the most common types of cases that are brought to our Denver premises liability lawyers is slip-and-fall cases. If a hazard could have been prevented but wasn’t, like picking up a banana when it falls off a stand, the landowner or occupier could be liable. Other types of cases may include negligent security practices, bicycle accidents, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, and other hazards on property grounds.
