About Michael Alexander
Michael Alexander Grasso trained first as an actor, then turned to law. He earned a B.F.A. in Acting from Ithaca College in 1995 and returned to the classroom to study law, receiving his J.D. from Capital University Law School in 2001. The combination of stage training and legal education shapes how he prepares for court and talks to juries.
He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and holds membership in the State Bar of New Jersey. In 2005 he joined the National College for DUI Defense and remains a member. That affiliation signals a sustained engagement with issues that affect drivers and criminal procedure, and it gives him access to continuing education and peer networks specific to impaired-driving law.
Early in his career he moved from academic study to courtroom practice. The record supplied does not list prior employers, so his public profile centers on his independent practice. He launched and operates a law office under his own name. Running a small practice has required him to handle the business of law as well as client representation. He litigates, negotiates and manages case intake, and he is the principal lawyer clients encounter when a file opens.
Grasso’s theatre background shows in his courtroom manner. He pays attention to how evidence reads aloud and how witnesses present themselves. Those instincts influence his work on cases that turn on testimony and timing. Members of the National College for DUI Defense often focus on the scientific and procedural questions that arise in impaired-driving prosecutions. His sustained membership there indicates ongoing interest in those subjects.
Clients who come to his office generally find a lawyer who combines courtroom-minded preparation with hands-on case management. He handles matters related to driving under the influence and other motor-vehicle offenses, and he advises clients about the legal consequences that flow from those charges. On a practical level, that means filing motions, arguing at hearings, and negotiating plea terms when appropriate.
Outside of the courtroom he maintains professional ties through bar membership and continuing-education programs. Those connections keep him current on developments in New Jersey law and the technical aspects of DUI evidence and procedure. Today he practices from The Law Office of Michael A. Grasso, Esq., where his practice continues to center on DUI and related driving offenses.
