About Michael P.
Michael P. Zwiebel built a long academic foundation before turning to the practice of law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1974. He later completed a Master of Arts at Colorado State University in 1981 and took his Juris Doctor from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984. Those credentials trace a path across state lines and academic disciplines.
His legal career has been centered in Colorado. After finishing law school in 1984, he entered private practice and eventually joined The Law Office of Springer & Steinberg. He is listed as a lawyer at that firm, where he has worked with clients on a range of matters governed by Colorado law. Colleagues describe him as steady and practical in client meetings. He approaches complex problems by breaking them down into discrete steps and explaining options clearly to clients.
Over the years he has handled matters that required courtroom presence as well as transactions and negotiations. He is comfortable in proceedings and in behind-the-scenes work that prepares a case or deal for a successful outcome. His background, which includes graduate study in Colorado and legal training in California, has informed a measured approach to problem solving.
Clients who work with him can expect direct communication. He favors plain language over legalese. That approach matters in cases where decisions must be made quickly and consequences are significant. His peers note his willingness to discuss strategy plainly and to set realistic expectations.
Outside of client work, his academic path suggests an interest in rigorous analysis. Moving from a liberal arts undergraduate program to graduate study and then professional legal training gave him a variety of analytical tools. Those tools come into play whether he is drafting documents, negotiating terms, or appearing in front of a judge.
He remains active in practice at The Law Office of Springer & Steinberg in Colorado. He continues to represent clients in matters arising under Colorado law and to provide direct counsel and representation through his work at the firm.
