About Michael
Michael Simon earned his law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 1990 after completing a bachelor’s degree in business administration at Wayne State University in 1987. He moved from a business undergraduate program into law school at a time when many students took similar paths. The timelines show a steady progression from business studies to legal training.
After graduating in 1990 he began practicing in Michigan. He is admitted to practice in the state and maintains active professional memberships. His trajectory has kept him rooted in Michigan’s legal community for decades.
Simon maintains memberships in the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. He is also active in alumni circles for both Wayne State University and Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Those affiliations reflect ongoing ties to the schools that shaped his early career and to organizations that serve trial and civil practitioners in the state.
Much of Simon’s professional life has been spent handling matters that come before Michigan courts. He has handled courtroom proceedings and worked on cases that require familiarity with state rules and local practice. Colleagues describe him as steady in litigation settings and practical in case preparation. He tends to take a methodical approach to case development and trial readiness.
Throughout his career he has balanced courtroom work with client counseling. He prepares pleadings, manages discovery, and represents clients at hearings. He also draws on his undergraduate business background when cases involve commercial or financial questions. That mix of legal and business training informs how he evaluates claims and structures strategy.
Simon practices from The Law Offices of Lee Steinberg, P.C. There he works on matters brought in Michigan courts and remains involved in the local legal community through professional associations and alumni groups. He continues to serve clients in Michigan and handles litigation and courtroom representation as part of his current practice focus.
