Jeffrey A. Springer
Fifty years at the Colorado bar — the longest career in Denver and the second longest on this site. His firm's rideshare page is the only one of fourteen that explains why the coverage tiers exist, by naming the death that created the gap they were written to close.
The bar record
We read Jeffrey A. Springer in the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel attorney search — an independent office of the Colorado Supreme Court, and the state’s actual regulator. Every row below is OARC’s.
We were not given this record. We went and got it. The entry supplied to us for this listing came from licensedlawyer.org, which is not the regulator — and which returns 403 Forbidden to us, so we could not load it to check anything on it. So we searched the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel ourselves and built this listing from what it holds. On three of our fourteen Denver listings the directory and the regulator name different employers; on one the directory publishes an entirely different person’s biography. Every Verified tag on this page is OARC’s. Nothing from the directory carries one.
Colorado is the only register that tells you where its own knowledge stops. Eleven other registers on this site answer the discipline question in some fashion — Texas prints a sentence, Washington refuses to, Pennsylvania does not ask. Colorado answers and then bounds the answer in the same breath: “…no public disciplinary history on file for this attorney within the state of Colorado.” Nine words that tell you exactly what the register does not know. It also publishes two fields nobody else does — whether the lawyer is in private practice, and whether they carry professional liability insurance — and two of our fourteen read NO to both. A register that asks a question can produce an answer you did not expect. Eleven others could not have produced it at all.
What the record shows
Admitted 6 October 1975. That is fifty years, the longest in Denver and second on this site only to a Californian at fifty-two.Verified
His firm’s page recounts the 2013 death of a six-year-old girl struck in a San Francisco crosswalk by an Uber driver who had no passenger, and states that Uber denied liability on the ground that the driver was not en route to anyone. It then explains that Uber expanded its policy afterwards to cover exactly that gap. Every other page in this batch states the tiers; this one says where they came from.Verified
OARC gives his business address as 1400 S. Colorado Blvd. The directory entry we were handed carries a profile block giving 1600 Broadway, Suite 1200. His own firm’s news page resolves it: one of its headlines reads Law Firm Springer & Steinberg Departs Downtown After 40 Years. We loaded that page and confirmed the headline. The regulator is current; the directory is not.Verified
What the firm says

His biography lists him in Best Lawyers for both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ personal injury litigation in the same year, alongside white-collar criminal defence and family law. A lawyer recognised on both sides of the same practice area is unusual on this site.Reported
He says he has recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients and serves as City Attorney for Glendale, Colorado. We print no recovery figures.Reported
