A blessing from God

They always say it's not what you know, but who you know that makes life better. This was my experience with Margaret. She took my case and gave my life back to me. It took some time, but her persistence and knowledge was worth the extra year. Her knowledge of things to do prior to court was outs...tanding, I truly believe it is what saved my sentencing. When she takes your case she continues to fight with everything she has to get the best results. She is trustworthy and honest. Plus she is also a wonderful person. Thank you so much. Scott

Amazing!

I worked with Mrs. Steele on three different cases in 2005-2007. She literally saved my life. I was lost and troubled young man who was on diversion/probation for a felony and got in trouble on separate misdemeanor offense. I was going to have a felony on my record for the rest of my life if it wasn'...t for Mrs. Steele. She got my misdemeanor dropped to a non criminal offense so I was able to finish my diversion on my felony. After I finished diversion my felony was dismissed. Then, I hired Mrs Steele to seal my criminal records which was successful. Lastly, I hired Mrs. Steele to represent me in getting my professional license with the state board of nursing. Also, successful! Since then I married and have two great kids. I haven't been in trouble since then. I made some poor choices when I was younger but am thankful for the kindness and professionalism from Mrs. Steele. I will forever be grateful. Dimitry

A must!

I have dealt with plenty attorneys in the past, and Ms. Steele is a wonderful recommendation I got from a friend. She was ALWAYS available within no more than an hour or two to answer all of my questions that constantly popped up. I had a complicated case and it was passed upon 6 times until we were ...forced to go to trial against one of the best DA’s in the country George Brockler. We had a solid case and she worked beyond my expectations and did an amazing job! George had to bring in 3 different attorneys and a PI to help him. She took them all on alone and gained huge respect from her peers post trial! And what shocked me was her prices were beyond fair and everything was upfront. No add-ons or surprises! She’s a realist and not there to puff up an ego or had a political agenda to appease as George soon realized. I would hire her again and again, but I don’t plan on going to court ever again! Thank you Ms. Steele for helping, sticking up for and motivating me!

Hard work.

It is a beautiful day! With some distractions. Absolutely, I received this message! And will make phone call end of week. Yesterday was another step towards me getting on track. After court I had appointment at DMV. Got licence plates for Arizona. But this morning, My nerves are running wild. At work... and was having very difficult time soldering pipes. I think I took to much medicine this morning. And the stress idk. am unable to focus on things. But Ms. Steele. You have done a wonderful job handling all of these affairs with Engelwood. When you took this case, I was still in transition with leaving CO and settling in at my dads house, new job, and it was almost to much for me to handle. However, without your exceptionaly punctual and professional public service, pro-bono legal service..... Well You were there all the way. As simple as this charge was it was a dagger in me after all the things I had to deal with. 5 legal cases in last year or so.... All dismissed but the one for my Grandmothers funeral.... I am now closer to being normal again. I hope you are getting from this message that I just need to thank you. Thank you Margaret Bill.

When You Need Excellence

Margaret is a tremendous attorney. When she walks in the courtroom, she knows the judges and the prosecutors and they know her -- and respect her. This is not always the case. So, with Margaret, you walk in with a relationship you could never build and competence you could never have. What ma...kes her a "cut above" is that she can apply the facts and legalities to your case -- and to your life. Trust me, Judges and prosecutors are not interested in your life, just your case. Margaret will tell you how each relates to the other and how the government will view the case and you. The government brings a lot of power and a very defined view of the world to any entanglement with them. Margaret can tell you when to call BS and when to you're up against bad or insurmountable odds -- and what to do about it! Hire her. You will not be sorry.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Steele is an exceptional criminal defense attorney. I worked with her as co-counsel on an attempted first degree murder case. She was always well prepared and exceptionally diligent in working through all of the evidence received from the prosecutors and her investigator. She has a great courtroom presence, and is very skilled at questioning witnesses and presenting arguments to the Court. During our case, she also spent a lot of time explaining things as we went along to the client and answering all of the client's questions and concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a good criminal attorney, no matter how serious the charges."
