He got my DUI dismissed along with a paraphernalia charge and multiple other tickets. All reduced down to a reckless driving ticket. He didn't stop fighting until the outcome was very favorable. I've been in court multiple times and this has been the best attorney I've ever hired yet.
Mike is the best lawyer I could have asked for. I was looking at a 7 month license suspension after blowing a .12. I’m a single parent, make a 6 figure salary, and drive for a living. A 7 month loss of license would have ended my career. Mike worked endlessly to get me the best deal and 6 long months my DWI was dismissed! I walked away with a reckless and 60 day loss of license! Mike is a miracle worker. I highly recommend him!

Felony Charge Downgraded to Noise Violation
I made a stupid mistake while overly intoxicated that could have resulted in a serious felony charge with 5 years of jail time in the line. Mr. Grasso first downgraded the felony charge to a less serious charge where I would still be facing 6 months county jail and probation. He went even further to downgrade this charge to a simple noise ordinance with a minimal charge of $500, in comparison to possibility of jail time. Aside from his amazing legal understanding, Mr. Grasso has a very humanistic understanding of human emotion, and recognizes that while facing such charges, it can cause great deal of stress and anxiety; unlike many other lawyers Grasso spends time talking you through your own personal struggles as well, helping you to overcome the mental taxation of such situations. Michael Grasso will help you get your life back and feel confident about your outcome.

Best criminal defense lawyer
He is the best defense lawyer. He helped me throw out all jail time, probation and I paid $0 in fines. He was very supportive and focussed on getting the false criminal charges against me dismissed

Reckless Driving Dismissed
I was facing up to 60 days in jail, loss of license, and driving probation. Mr. Grasso worked his magic and I am more than happy with the results. He advised me to take the plea deal that was offered and it worked out for the best. Now i don’t have to worry and everything is settled. I can’t stress enough if you are in legal trouble, Michael Grasso is the way to go.

Very Knowledgable, Comforting and Strategic
Not only did Mike win the case in my favor, it was an appelate level case. Mike was confidently steered the ship from the first day of my consultationtill the final decision. He made me feel secure in his knowledge and his strategies, I hope to never need a lawyer for the rest of my life but if I do need one I am calling Mike first. I highly recommend using him.

Best. Lawyer. Ever.
In February 2022 I was charged with D.U.I. and having an open container of alcohol. If convicted, this would have been my second D.U.I. conviction. I was facing 2 year loss of license, fines, and having to install an ignition device upon restoration of driving priveleges.
I contacted Mr. Grasso as I was told he was the best D.U.I. lawyer in New Jersey. I am so glad I did.
From the start, Mr. Grasso was reassuring and confident. He promised he would all he could do to achieve the best outcome for me.
At every stage Mr. Grasso explained everything plainly and in a way I could understand.
He was able to obtain a reduced charge of reckless driving. He had all alcohol related offenses dismissed. My license was suspended for 90 day, but no surcharges, no alcohol classes, and no ignition device.
I highly recommend anyone seeking a D.U.I. lawyer to hire Mr. Grasso. You will not regret it.

Great DUI Representation
I had a complicated, out of state driver, case with a high BAC. Michael and his team was able to get the BAC thrown out in court, significantly reducing the final charges and sentence.
Post trial, Michael has stayed in contact and responded to any questions I had regarding completing the requirements of my sentence.
Above and beyond, great representation and a great guy!

DUI dismissed by Supreme Court!
Mike and his entire team worked tirelessly for years to get my case dismissed by the highest court. Very thankful for Mr. Grasso and his firm bringing my case up the chain and keeping me calm and informed throughout the process. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and person in my corner.

#1 Lawyer (PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD) in NJ!!!
Michael is a phenomenal lawyer, he has represented me twice in the last five years for a DUI and for felony charges. The DUI case I’m considered in the 1% that refuses to take a breathalyzer. And walks away with a first time offenders program. just this week I was looking at some serious jail time for two felony charges and harassment charge. I walked out of court room with a harassment charge, and a fine all other charges were dismissed, what lawyer can do that! I want to thank Michael and his staff for the hard work. Did they do to represent a person. They’re just not a law firm. They treat you like family therefore you 24 seven they tell you we will take care of it. Relax let us do the work. they have been there 24 seven you can call or text them anytime and they return your calls, you don’t get answering services. The Grasso team are highly respectful. True to their word and they’re like family. Don’t know what else to say about them. Thank you Michael Grasso and your staff.
