About Steve
Steve Reina began his professional path as a student of words. He earned an undergraduate degree in print journalism from Wayne State University and stayed on at Wayne State University Law School to earn his J.D. The move from reporting to practicing law left him with an appreciation for clear writing and careful argument.
After law school he established a practice under his own name. He is admitted to the bar in Michigan and holds admission to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Sixth Circuit. He is a member of the Michigan Bar Association, a group he has maintained ties with during his career.
His court credentials extend beyond simple admission. He holds a Level One (High Crimes) qualification as recognized by the Sixth Circuit Court Court Administrator. That credential is listed among his professional qualifications and signals a role in handling serious criminal matters in federal court proceedings.
Over the years Reina has operated offices under the name Law office of Steve Reina. Those offices have served as the base for his courtroom work, filings, and client consultations. He has handled litigation that requires familiarity with both state procedures in Michigan and federal appellate rules. He is comfortable drafting briefs, making oral argument in appellate settings and handling procedural work required by federal courts.
Colleagues describe him as someone who combines an eye for detail with an ability to parse complex records. His background in journalism informs how he approaches documentation. He reads cases closely and values plain, direct writing when preparing filings for judges or juries.
Outside courtroom appearances he has maintained professional involvement through the Michigan Bar Association. That association provides a network for continuing legal education and professional exchange. Reina’s ties there reflect an ongoing engagement with peers and the procedural developments that affect litigators across the state.
He works regularly in Michigan courts and in federal appellate courts, including the Sixth Circuit, and he is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. His current practice centers on representing clients in Michigan and in federal appeals, including work that proceeds before the Sixth Circuit and matters reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.
