Alan J. Steinberg

My name is Alan Steinberg. I have been practicing law since 1966. I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Missouri , Columbia, Missouri, in 1962, just one year after I was married to my wife, Joyce. After a brief stint in the “family meat business”, I entered night law school at St. Louis University and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1967. I worked at McDonnell Aircraft during my law school years. MAC paid for most of my education under a company scholarship program.

Upon graduation from law school, I began my legal career with the law firm of Gleick and Steinberg. After two years with Mr. Harry S. Gleick, I decided to go to work for a large law firm in 1968. I joined the firm of Lashly, Caruthers, Rava, Hyndman & Rutherford, eventually to become a partner and pursue a career specializing in litigation, business and domestic law. Having had a taste of the small firm and large firm practices, and realizing both offer advantages and disadvantages, I opted for the small law firm life. In 1974, I went solo for a couple of years, and then formed a partnership in 1976 with Mr. Darold E. Crotzer Jr., under the name of Steinberg & Crotzer, and eventually Steinberg, Crotzer and Ford, when Charles L. Ford joined Darold and I. This firm, in one incarnation or another, endured for twenty years, until my son Les and I decided to open our own office in Creve Coeur.
