Drug trafficking

Marc was beyond exceptional from beginning to end. He gave me a fair price up front, and worked with me on payments. (Other lawyers were quoting me double the price.) I was facing some serious drug trafficking charges after my house was raided by police. The police had a pretty solid case against me,... or so I thought. Marc found suppression issues with the warrant and so on. We did not go to trial which I wanted to avoid at all costs. I spent one night in jail when I turned myself in. The judge even agreed to dismiss from my record. In the end Im serving 18 months probation, some community service, and a small fine for possession of controlled substance. Marc was very upfront with me from he beginning, gave me all my options, and led in me in the right direction throughout. Worth every penny.

Marc A Grano

Uppon accepting my cased Mr Grano was very professional and very thorough in investigating my case in a very timely manner. He called me periodically to inform me of the status of my claim and was able to get me a very fair amount. I am very pleased with the services provided by him and his staff. ... I would also highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

Dependable, honest, harworking

Part of my career involves going and sitting in court hearings and for the past 9 years, I have had the chance to see plenty of defense attorneys and prosecutors in “Action in the court room”. As part of my job at times I am required to testify on behalf of the District Attorney’s office, I have tes...tified on over 100 cases since my career begin, but I had never had the pleasure (using this word lightly) of being cross examined by Defense Attorney Marc Grano, other defense attorneys Yes, but not by Marc Grano. When the cross examination was completed, I walked out of the court room and was “Angry”, I was thinking to myself “how could he put me on the spot like that”, “how could one attorney be so knowledgeable and so good at cross examination that he could stump me at Children’s Court” (me thinking I had everything in order and all the knowledge I needed to answer any questions that were thrown at me by defense)? So when I finally stopped being angry about Mr. Marc Grano out doing himself in the court room, I said to myself “If I ever find myself needing an attorney, he will be the one I go to”. Well, low and behold last August, I found myself needing fast and aggressive legal representation and I found myself at the door step of Silva and Grano Law Firm. I specifically asked for Mr. Grano, because of course “I have seen him in action in the court room and have experienced a very rigorous cross examination in the past”. Mr.Grano was quick to hear my situation and my needs. The situation I was in was very serious and could end my career and I strongly felt that I had done nothing wrong and that I did not break the law. Mr. Grano was attentive to my situation and was quick to take on my case. Mr. Grano is effective and efficient. During the whole process of the court system, Mr. Grano was amazing, he understood my frustration and anxiety that came along with the whole court process. He was able to give me the best legal representation anyone could ask for. Mr. Grano is a man of his word, he is trustworthy, knowledgeable, dependable, and most importantly a human being that is compassionate towards his clients and fully understands what his clients are enduring. He was always readily available to answer any questions I had and believe me I had many! He helped me tremendously during what has been the most trying time in my life. When I felt there was no more hope and wanted to throw in the towel, he was there to reassure me that everything was going to be ok. Mr. Grano helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel during this whole ordeal and almost a year and half later, we walk away with a “Victory”……….
