About Grande Law, P.A.

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.

Charges filed. Clock ticking.

Let’s talk about your options before anything else happens.

Criminal Defense Practice Areas
We Handle

From misdemeanor charges to federal indictments, we handle the full range of criminal cases across Florida and Colorado.

DUI Defense

DUI / DWAI

Impaired driving charges carry license loss, fines, and possible jail even on a first offense. We challenge the traffic stop, the testing procedure, and the evidence the prosecution leans on.

Trial Defense

Jury Trials

Not every case should be pleaded out. When the offer on the table is not good enough, we take the case in front of a jury and argue it. Trial experience matters when it counts most.

Fourth Amendment

Improper Searches

Police need a valid legal basis to search you, your vehicle, or your home. When they cut corners, we move to suppress the evidence so it cannot be used against you.

Domestic Charges

Domestic Violence

A domestic violence accusation can trigger a protective order and immediate consequences before any conviction. We challenge the allegations and work to keep one accusation from upending your life.

Post-DUI

Ignition Interlock Devices

A required interlock device affects how and when you can drive after a DUI. We help you understand the obligations, resolve compliance issues, and work toward reinstatement.

First Appearance

Arraignments

The arraignment is your first court appearance and the moment you enter a plea. We make sure you walk in with a lawyer who already knows the charges, the court, and your options.

Pre-Trial

Bail Hearings

Getting released quickly can change the entire course of a case. We advocate at bond hearings for fair terms that let you fight the charges from outside a cell.

Serious Charges

Felonies

Felony charges put your freedom and your future on the line. We dig into the evidence, challenge the prosecution’s theory, and build a defense aimed at dismissal, reduction, or acquittal.

Justified Force

Self-Defense

The law allows you to protect yourself and others from harm. When you acted to defend yourself, we build the case that your response was reasonable and legally justified.

Controlled Substances

Drug Crimes

Drug charges range from simple possession to distribution and manufacturing. We question how the evidence was obtained and push back hard on the prosecution’s theory of the case.

Immigration Risk

Immigration Consequences

A criminal conviction can put your immigration status and your right to remain in the country at risk. We factor immigration consequences into the strategy so a plea does not become a deportation.

Not sure if we handle your charge?

Call us and we will tell you directly. If it is criminal, we have likely handled it.

Criminal Defenses and
Defense Strategies

In criminal defense, strategy is everything. At Grande Law, we employ various tactics to challenge the prosecution’s case and establish reasonable doubt based on the specific circumstances of your case.

Alibi

This defense asserts that the defendant was not present at the scene of the crime when it occurred. You must be able to provide evidence or witnesses to corroborate your whereabouts.

Constitutional Violations

This defense focuses on violations of the defendant’s constitutional rights during the arrest, search, or seizure. If law enforcement acted unlawfully, evidence obtained may be suppressed.

Duress or Coercion

This defense argues that the defendant committed the crime under duress or coercion — forced to act against their will due to threats or fear for their safety or the safety of others.

Entrapment

This defense asserts that law enforcement induced the defendant to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. It aims to show the defendant was lured into criminal activity by law enforcement.

Innocence

A defense strategy often revolves around proving the defendant’s innocence through presenting an alibi, challenging witness credibility, or introducing new evidence that casts doubt on the prosecution’s case.

Insanity Defense

This defense asserts that the defendant, due to a mental illness or defect, was incapable of understanding the nature or wrongfulness of their actions at the time of the offense.

Lack of Intent

If the crime requires intent, we may argue the defendant did not have the necessary mental state to commit the offense — establishing that the defendant’s actions were accidental or lacked requisite intent.

Mistaken Identity

This defense challenges the accuracy of eyewitness identification, asserting that the defendant was wrongly identified as the perpetrator due to factors like poor lighting, stress, or unreliable witnesses.

Necessity Defense

This defense argues that the defendant committed an illegal act to prevent a greater harm or danger — asserting that the defendant had no reasonable alternative and their actions were justified.

Self-Defense or Defense of Others

Used when the defendant claims they acted in self-defense or defense of others. The defense demonstrates the accused reasonably believed they were in imminent danger and used reasonable force.

The criminal defense attorney you choose has a direct impact on how your case moves and where it ends. Here is what sets Grande Law apart.

Why Hire a Criminal Lawyer at Grande Law

Trial-Ready from Day One

We do not negotiate from a position of weakness. Every case is prepared as if it is going to trial, which often produces better results before it ever does.

24/7 Direct Attorney Access

When something happens at 11pm on a Friday, you reach an attorney, not a voicemail. Criminal situations do not run on business hours, and we do not either.

Licensed in FL, CO, and IL

With offices in Miami and Steamboat Springs and licensure across three states and multiple federal courts, we handle cases that cross state lines or move into federal jurisdiction without referring you out.

Misdemeanor and Felony Defense

DUI/DWAI, domestic violence, felony and misdemeanor criminal defense, and federal criminal defense — our experience covers the full range of criminal charges. No case is handed off because it falls outside our scope.

Honest Case Assessment

We tell you what we actually think about your case — the strengths, the weaknesses, and the realistic outcomes. You will not get empty reassurance here.

40+ Years of Combined Experience.
Trial-Tested Defense.

Real answers when you call.

Our Criminal Defense Process

When you contact Grande Law, you reach Danny or Stacy directly — not a receptionist, not a voicemail. That direct access starts at your very first call and continues throughout your entire case.

01

Contact & Consult

Call or come in and speak directly with Danny or Stacy from the start. Available 24/7, we go over the charges, what you are facing, and what your options look like.

02

First Court Appearance

We are with you at your first court appearance — bond hearing or advisement. Having a criminal defense attorney present at this stage can affect your release conditions.

03

Discovery Review

We dig into police reports, witness statements, evidence logs, and everything the prosecution has. We look for inconsistencies, procedural problems, and constitutional violations.

04

Defense Strategy

After reviewing the evidence, we sit down with you and lay out the realistic paths forward — the defense strategies, the strength of the prosecution’s case, and whether a plea or trial gives you the better outcome.

05

Disposition

Whether the case resolves through a dismissed charge, a negotiated plea, or a jury verdict, we see it through to the end and explain what the outcome means for your record and your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about criminal defense and how we work.

Do not speak to police or investigators without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you, even if it sounds harmless. Contact a criminal lawyer as soon as possible so we can begin reviewing your case before the prosecution builds further.

Misdemeanors are less serious charges, generally punishable by fines, probation, or less than a year in jail. Felonies carry longer prison sentences and have broader consequences on your civil rights, employment, and housing. Both require serious legal representation, and both are cases we handle.

It depends on the evidence, the charges, and the procedural history of your case. We look for constitutional violations, evidentiary problems, and weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. In some situations, charges are reduced or dismissed at the pre-trial stage. We never promise outcomes, but we pursue every available angle.

Yes. Pleading guilty without an attorney means you may not fully understand the collateral consequences — including immigration consequences, expungement eligibility, and how the conviction affects your record long-term. A criminal attorney can also negotiate a better plea than what the prosecution offers first.

We handle DUI/DWAI, drug crimes, domestic violence, felonies, federal crimes, white collar crime, probation violations, juvenile defense, restraining orders, and more across Florida and Colorado. If you are facing criminal charges and are not sure whether we handle your case type, call us and we will tell you directly.

Yes. We are licensed to practice in both states. Our Miami office serves South Florida, and our Steamboat Springs office serves clients across Colorado. For federal charges or cases with a multi-state dimension, we handle the matter directly rather than referring you to another firm.

Charged With a Crime? Get a Criminal Lawyer in Your Corner Today.

Criminal charges move quickly. Evidence gets locked in, witnesses get interviewed, and the prosecution starts building its case before most people even think about calling a lawyer. The earlier you have a criminal defense attorney reviewing your case, the more options you have.
