Stacey Anderson

I’m a criminal defense attorney with over 30 years of courtroom experience and a firm belief that every client deserves both strong advocacy and honest guidance. At Stacey Anderson Law, I provide strategic, compassionate defense with a focus on preparation, clarity, and treating each client with dignity — no matter the charge.

Having served as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I understand the full picture of how criminal cases are built and challenged. That dual perspective allows me to anticipate the prosecution’s strategy and build a defense that’s both proactive and personal.

My practice is based in Kent and serves clients across the Torrington Judicial District and GA 18, the Danbury Judicial District and GA 3, and surrounding counties, including Fairfield County. I frequently appear in courts throughout Litchfield County and represent clients in Torrington, New Milford, Litchfield, Kent, Sharon, Washington, Waterbury, Danbury, and nearby communities.

I handle a wide range of criminal matters, including DUI/DWI, felony and misdemeanor drug charges, assault, family assault, domestic violence, criminal mischief, criminal trespass, larceny, theft, burglary, identity theft, credit card fraud, issuing bad checks, white collar crimes, probation violations, evading responsibility, reckless driving, operating under suspension, firearm offenses, criminal possession of a firearm or weapon, unlawful transfer of firearms, and possession with intent to distribute. I also assist with mental health-related criminal cases, diversion eligibility, civil commitment proceedings, and contested probate matters involving mental health or capacity concerns.

Q. Concern about possible misconduct in Texas murder case due to confidential grand jury information shared on social media.

May 24, 2025

A: The social media posts you describe don't appear to show prosecutorial misconduct. Texas grand jury secrecy laws protect what happens inside the grand jury room—the evidence, testimony, and deliberations—not scheduling information about when meetings occur. Texas law actually requires prosecutors to keep crime victims informed about important case developments, including when their case will be presented to a grand jury and any scheduling changes. The family member's posts about timing and rescheduling reflect normal victim communication, not confidential information. The prosecutor change is likely unrelated since no actual legal violation appears to have happened.
