Top Best Personal Injury Lawyers | 16172 Available

I dedicate my entire practice to representing individuals in personal injury and wrongful death claims. I have represented injured persons against insurance companies for over 33 years. Prior to moving to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, I was a partner in my family's three-office law firm in south Texas, which recovered jury verdicts and settlements for injured victims and decedents' families across South Texas, including individual jury verdicts of $44.6 million, $11 million, and $7.5 million to name a few.. My philosophy is that an injured individual should never have to pay unreasonably high legal fees to receive high quality legal representation. I pride myself in communicating with my clients and making sure that they can always contact me and know what's going on with their cases.

I believe the only way to secure any meaningful justice for someone is to be ready and willing to take his or her case to trial.  I only represent people I care about, trust and believe in.  I maintain a small caseload so I am ready, willing and able to go the distance for each of my clients.

Before coming to Springer and Steinberg, Matt worked in a civil plaintiffs' law firm in Ohio where he brought employment discrimination lawsuits, including ADA, sexual harassment, age/sex discrimination, and hostile work environment. Matt joined Springer and Steinberg in 2009.. In Matt's Own Words. Armed with my blue collar Ohio background and work experience, I identify with civil plaintiffs more than any other category of litigant because it feels as though I am accomplishing something, that I am fixing something, that I am solving a problem.. I enjoy civil litigation because I fix problems caused by someone else for clients who genuinely deserve to have their problem fixed. I particularly enjoy helping those who may not have the ability to do so themselves, and often times are at a disadvantage.

K.C. grew up in Southern Indiana, near Louisville, Kentucky. He attended Purdue University, where he studied History, with minors in Political Science, Peace Studies, and Global Studies of the Middle East. After college, he moved to Denver because of his love for the outdoors and memories of great family vacations in Colorado as a kid.. In 2011, he moved to Chicago to study law at DePaul University College of Law, with a plan to return to Colorado in the future. While there, he participated in Moot Court, the Poverty Law Clinic, and Litigation Lab, and he was a member of the National Lawyers’ Guild. In 2012 he moved to Madrid, Spain and completed a year-long Masters of Law in International and European Business Law. He then returned to Chicago and completed his J.D. in 2014, graduating Cum Laude and obtaining a Certificate Degree in International & Comparative Law. Following graduation from DePaul, he returned to Colorado as planned.. After passing the Colorado Bar Exam in 2014, K.C. worked for just short of a year at a high-volume plaintiff’s personal injury firm. While there, he developed a passion for the clients and their stories. K.C. has always had a desire to do meaningful work that improves the day-to-day lives of real people, as opposed to aiding the bottom line of some large, faceless company. He also has had a desire to be in a courtroom and litigating cases since his first day in law school. Personal injury fit those desires perfectly. However, K.C. was not satisfied with the working environment and general treatment of clients at the high-volume firm he worked at. After leaving there, he partnered up with Sean because he also had a different vision for how to achieve the best results for each client individually. Instead of trying to fit every client into one method of practice, K.C. and Sean work hard to tailor their work to each client’s specific needs.. Outside of personal injury, K.C. likes devoting what time he can to pro-bono work. He is especially fond of immigration advocacy. In his free time away from all work, K.C. enjoys many hobbies. A life-long soccer player, he does his best to get out and play when he can, and he attends the Rapids’ home matches whenever possible. K.C. moved to Colorado primarily for the lifestyle, and so he spends a great amount of time skiing, hiking, camping, and learning to climb and mountaineer. He also plays drums, enjoys reading fiction, and brews his own beer.
