Look no further!

From our initial meeting to the very end, Steven and his sons were very polite and reassuring. They make you feel like they're going to do their best to get the best outcome for you. I never felt uncomfortable with anything. Communication was never an issue and they were always on top of everything. ... I was originally charged for Driving While Under Constraint and a few other related charges. Steve was able to get the very best outcome for me and I couldn't be happier!

Knowledge, Experienced Attorney

I hired Steven to represent me in obtaining a permanent protective order. This was an unusual case and he was knowledgeable about the law and experienced in the courtroom. He is also kind. He is prompt to return calls and met with me right away. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Steve Louth did no work on my case.

My friends who are lawyers say the legal community thought is that Steve Louth should be disbarred. I wish zero stars was an option. Steve took $50,000 to represent my family member and then did no work. He didn't investigate the case. He "forgot" to file motions. He told us things were being done bu...t nothing was being done. He wasn't prepared for the trial, he brought no evidence, and my family was badly hurt. Steve Louth was not honest with us. He took our money and did no work. My advice: Don't hire Steve Louth.

The absolute worst.

just like to have the guy who review Mr Louth.atty. hung me out to dry. Do not hire him in a criminal matter where you are concerned about the outcome.he did not communicate the date of the trial with me. He acted completely unprofessional and aloof with me.sometimes even confrontational. He brought ...no strategy for defense at my trial. He took no notes when we got together for conference before the trial. He defended me poorly during my trial and did not argue defense for what the prosecution was saying.he talked to the jury and it would take to Jerry thought he was from another planet he acted foolish. Outside the court room he treated me poorly with the respect and when he talked to the people in front of me he scheduled me away as if I was some kind of miscreant. I'm warning you all this attorney will do is take your money.

Horrible Attorney

I hired Steven Louth in 2003 for a felony criminal matter. He took my money at the beginning of the case and that was as hard as he worked. He failed to notify me of a court date and then told the judge that I should have been in attendance. The Judge postponed by a day and Louth drove to my home i...n Firestone and left a scribbled " call me" note on my door. When I called him he told me to be in court the next day. He never told me that I had "missed a court date". The next day the Judge asked me why I was not in court the day before and I told him that I was never notified of the hearing. Louth says " your honor, I notified the client via letter". I then asked the Judge to ask Mr. Louth to show a copy of the letter to the court and the Judge asked him if he had it. He said " not with me your honor. Yet he had his file with him. This lawyer is buddy buddy with all of the prosecutors and treats his clients like 2nd class citizens. I fired him and hired a Denver Lawyer who came in and handled my case professionally and treated me with respect. I remember Louth saying that he thinks about his clients when he walks his dog at night................ What a joke, he just takes your money. Do not hire this guy.............

"I have worked alongside Steve for the last four years and have been practicing law with him for the last year. Steve has an incredibly deep understanding of the Colorado laws and has creative ideas to resolve cases. His trial demeanor is exceptional and he thrives at jury trials. Steve's commitment to his clients and concern for their well being is unlike most professionals I have come in contact with. It has been an honor to learn from Steve."

Experience

Rating:  1.2 (Extreme Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2025

updated on 04/15/2025

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.

Censure issued in CO, 2022

updated on 07/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
