Marvin Grossberg is a veteran defense attorney who served as Mia Fey's mentor and headed his own law firm, Grossberg Law Offices. Diego Armando and Robert Hammond were also former employees. Several years later, Mia Fey, Misty's daughter, joined the Grossberg Law Offices. Grossberg and his associate, Diego Armando, took it upon themselves to assist her and teach her the trade. Fey's first case in court ended in tragedy when the defendant, Terry Fawles, poisoned himself and died on the witness stand. Not long after, Armando was himself poisoned and left in a comatose state. A few months later, Fey returned to the courtroom in the defense of art student Phoenix Wright, which initially surprised Grossberg. Wright refused to cooperate with Fey on the witness stand, and Grossberg gave up, remarking, "I knew that boy was guilty the first time I saw him." However, Fey convinced him to trust her and, with his cooperation, the defense managed to prevail. Grossberg later realized that Fey's true goal was to bring Dahlia Hawthorne to justice, as she had poisoned Armando. With Grossberg's help, Mia managed to prove that Wright was innocent and that Hawthorne was the one who had murdered the victim, Doug Swallow. In the end, Grossberg was impressed with Fey's dedication to her client, and realized that such devotion to one's client was what being a lawyer was all about, a concept he believed had been lost among his contemporaries. Grossberg is very strict and tends to speak nostalgically of his past. He has a habit of loudly and exaggeratedly clearing his throat to draw someone's attention. Grossberg also suffers from hemorrhoids and frequently complains about them. He appears to be fond of his past employees even after years of seeing them. This sentiment extends to their relatives, as shown by the kindness he shows Maya Fey, although this may have been at least partially influenced by guilt for his role in Misty Fey's fall. In a sense, Grossberg represents an old generation of veteran lawyers who have perhaps lost sight of their trade's true purpose and become tainted with corruption. After seeing Mia Fey's first victory, he remarked on her ability to trust in her client.
