About Marc A. Grano
Marc A. Grano – Grano Law Offices, P.C. New Mexico I’ve dedicated my legal career to helping good people in bad situations—and for over 25 years, that’s meant fighting hard for those charged with DWI in New Mexico courts. As a former prosecutor, military JAG officer, and now seasoned defense attorney, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the justice system from every angle. I have completed specialized training in DWI defense, including certification in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST)—the same roadside procedures used by law enforcement. I have also pursued advanced instruction in breath and blood alcohol testing, allowing me to identify flaws in the state’s evidence and aggressively defend my clients’ rights. My office represents clients throughout Northern and Central New Mexico, including Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Taos, Rio Rancho, Santa Rosa, Raton, Mora, and surrounding communities. We focus on strategic, science-based DWI defense, and work tirelessly to pursue the best possible outcomes in every case. At Grano Law Offices, our mission is simple: Helping Good People in a Bad Situation.

Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial
04/23/2025
Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...

Written by Jonathan Dichter The Heart of Client Care: Moving Beyond Case Management In the legal profession, we often talk about "case management" - the systems and processes that keep our cases moving efficiently. But what about *client care*? True client care goes beyond deadlines and filings; it's about treating clients as *people*-scared, uncertain, and in need of guidance. And when done...
