Direct Attorney Access
Grande Law is a boutique criminal defense and personal injury law firm with offices in Miami, FL and Steamboat Springs, CO. Founded by managing partners Stacy Marczak-Grande and Danny Grande, they bring over 40 years of combined legal experience across criminal defense, family law, personal injury, civil litigation, and property damage claims.
What separates Grande Law from larger firms is straightforward: when you call, Danny or Stacy picks up. Not an AI, not an assistant, not a paralegal. That 24/7 direct attorney access is not a marketing line — it is how the firm operates every day.
A civil case is a legal dispute between private parties (individuals, businesses, or organizations) where one side claims the other caused them harm. Unlike criminal cases brought by the government, civil litigation is initiated by the injured party, known as the plaintiff, against the responsible party, known as the defendant.
The goal in civil litigation is typically financial compensation or a court order requiring someone to act or cease certain conduct. Civil cases cover a wide range of disputes: broken contracts, property damage, fraud, business disagreements, landlord-tenant conflicts, and more.
Civil litigation is not just about money. It is about accountability. When someone wrongs you and refuses to make it right, the courtroom becomes the place where the record is set straight.
In a criminal case, the government prosecutes someone for violating the law. In a civil case, a private individual or business files a lawsuit seeking a remedy for harm caused by another party. The burden of proof in civil cases is lower — you do not need to prove wrongdoing beyond a reasonable doubt. You need to show it is more likely than not that the other party is responsible.
Civil cases can move through state or federal courts depending on the nature of the dispute. An experienced civil litigation attorney knows how to navigate both and will tell you from the start which forum gives you the best shot.
Stacy or Danny reviews your civil case directly. No obligation, no pressure — just a straight answer on where you stand.
Grande Law represents clients in a broad range of civil disputes in Florida and Colorado — whether you need to go to court or negotiate a resolution that works for you.
Contracts exist to create certainty. When the other party fails to hold up their end — whether it is a vendor, a business partner, a client, or a contractor — you have the right to enforce what was agreed. Grande Law handles breach of contract claims for individuals and businesses in Florida and Colorado courts.
Business relationships are complex, and conflicts happen. Partnership disagreements, shareholder disputes, non-compete violations, and unfair competition claims all require an attorney who understands both the legal and commercial landscape. We help clients resolve disputes efficiently — and aggressively when necessary.
When someone deceives you to gain money, property, or a business advantage, that is fraud — and it is actionable. We represent clients who have been victims of intentional misrepresentation, concealment of material facts, or deceptive schemes, pursuing full recovery for financial damages caused by dishonest conduct.
Property damage from negligence, contractor misconduct, or third-party fault can be financially devastating. If an insurance company is underpaying or denying your claim, Grande Law knows how to build and present a case that demands the full compensation you are owed.
Whether you are a tenant whose security deposit was wrongfully withheld or a landlord dealing with lease violations and unpaid rent, civil litigation can resolve what negotiation could not. We represent both landlords and tenants in Florida and Colorado disputes.
Boundary disagreements, title defects, easement conflicts, purchase agreement disputes, and seller disclosure failures can all escalate into serious legal matters. Our attorneys navigate property-related civil claims and pursue outcomes that protect your investment and your rights.
Trustees, business partners, financial advisors, and corporate officers all owe a fiduciary duty to those they serve. When that duty is violated through self-dealing, mismanagement, or deliberate misconduct, we pursue breach of fiduciary duty claims and hold responsible parties accountable.
Talk to our attorneys directly — no obligation, no pressure, just a straight answer on where you stand.
At Grande Law, you are not a case number assigned to an associate. You work directly with Danny or Stacy from your first call to your final resolution.
Every client at Grande Law has direct access to their attorney. Call us and Danny or Stacy picks up. That is not a promise most firms can make — and it is one we have delivered on since the day we opened our doors.
Civil litigation requires preparation, strategy, and the confidence to stand in front of a judge and make your case. Our attorneys have done it for decades. That experience shows — in the way we build cases, negotiate settlements, and perform at trial.
Grande Law is licensed to practice in Florida, Colorado, and Illinois, including federal court. If your dispute crosses state lines or involves federal jurisdiction, we can handle it without you needing to find a second attorney.
With 5,000+ clients represented and over $50 million recovered for clients over the last decade, we have a demonstrated history of delivering results. We take civil cases seriously because our clients deserve serious representation.
Larger firms spread cases thin. At Grande Law, your case gets focused attention. We do not hand you off or rush you through. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly, and build the strongest possible argument on your behalf.
Your first conversation with Danny or Stacy is free. You explain your situation, they tell you where you stand and what your options are — no meter running, no obligation to retain the firm afterward.
Real attorneys. Real results. Real access.
Every civil case is different. These results reflect the level of preparation and advocacy Grande Law brings to every matter.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.

Grande Law walks you through every stage, explains what to expect, and handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters.
Your first conversation with Grande Law costs nothing. We listen to what happened, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of your legal position. If you have a viable civil claim, we tell you exactly what we can do for you and how we would approach it.
Before filing anything, we dig into the facts. We gather contracts, correspondence, financial records, property documents, and any other relevant evidence. This phase is where we build the foundation of your case and identify the strongest legal arguments in your favor.
Once your case strategy is set, we prepare and file all court documents on your behalf. The complaint is drafted, filed with the appropriate court, and formally served on the opposing party. From this point forward, the other side has a legal obligation to respond.
Discovery is the process by which both sides exchange information and evidence. Depositions, interrogatories, and document requests all happen here. Many civil disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation during this phase — and we pursue every fair settlement opportunity before going to trial.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we go to court. Grande Law is fully prepared to litigate your case before a judge or jury. We present your evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and argue your position with the skill that comes from decades of courtroom experience.

Common questions about civil litigation and how Grande Law can help.
If someone’s actions caused you financial harm, damaged your property, violated a contract, or deprived you of rights you were entitled to — you may have grounds for a civil claim. The best way to find out is through a free consultation with our attorneys. We will review the facts and tell you honestly whether you have a case worth pursuing.
It depends on the complexity of the dispute. Straightforward contract claims can settle in a few months. Larger, more contested cases may take one to two years or longer if they go to trial. We give every client a realistic timeline estimate after reviewing the specific facts, and we keep you updated at every stage of the process.
Fee structures vary depending on the type of case. Some civil matters are handled on a contingency basis, meaning we only collect a fee if we recover money for you. Others are billed at an hourly rate or a flat project fee. We explain all fee arrangements clearly in your initial consultation — no surprises.
Yes — and in many cases, it is. A significant portion of civil disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or settlement before ever reaching a courtroom. Grande Law always explores every reasonable path to resolution, but we are fully prepared to try your case if that is what it takes to get you a fair outcome.
Yes. Grande Law has deep experience in both criminal defense and civil litigation. If your situation involves overlapping legal issues — for example, fraud that triggers both a civil lawsuit and criminal charges — we can handle both sides of your legal response under one roof.
Yes. Our attorneys are licensed in both Florida and Colorado, as well as Illinois, and we practice in both state and federal courts. If you are in the Miami area or in Steamboat Springs, we are your local firm — and if your dispute crosses state lines, we can handle that too.
Bring any documents related to your dispute: contracts, emails, text messages, invoices, photos, insurance correspondence, financial statements, or anything else that tells the story of what happened. The more context you can give us, the more useful your first consultation will be.
Mediation is a structured negotiation process led by a neutral third party — the mediator — who helps both sides reach a voluntary agreement. It is faster, less expensive, and more private than trial. If mediation fails or is not appropriate for your case, trial is the next step. Our attorneys are skilled in both and will recommend the approach that gives you the best outcome.
Civil disputes do not resolve themselves. The longer you wait, the more leverage the other side builds. Grande Law is ready to review your situation, answer your questions, and tell you exactly what your options are — at no cost to you.
Your information stays confidential.
