Joe was excellent in getting a diversion on one charge and the rest dismissed. I am now eligible for record expungement. Thanks Jo!

Attorney Scrofano got my case dismissed! At the end of the day that's exactly what you want to be able to say as well and the only logical suggestion I could offer is that you hire him if you seek the same outcome. He's a really cool dude and a consummate professional. Speaking from experience he gets the job done no matter how difficult it may seem as I can attest personally. A1 Super Trial Lawyer for sure!!

I was falsely accused of a felony sexual assault and struck with absolute horror at what that would mean for me and my family. While I knew I was innocent I worried what a charge would do to my future even if it was beaten. I was unable to sleep, disoriented and anxiety-ridden. If you are finding yourself in that state I can assure you that you are putting yourself in good hands by reaching out to Joe Scrofano. I was given confident, competent advice at every step along the way. He managed to guide me through a well thought out plan and keep me informed throughout its execution. I was made aware of every possible outcome when faced with choices even when those possibilities were difficult to hear. Communication of these touchy subjects was always handled with the utmost professionalism and compassion. I am extremely thankful to report that after following the advice of Mr. Scrofano and having him work on my behalf no charges were brought against me. I cannot stress enough how trustworthy he is. My life was quite literally in his hands and I am forever grateful to have found him.

Joseph is a great, skillful attorney with very personable people skills. He is very knowledgeable, and has a wealth of knowledge of the judicial system. Joseph was patient and understanding throughout my court case, courteous, and professional. I felt confident while under his representation. He did a great job! I recommend Joseph if you are looking for representation!

Joseph will forever be in my heart. He is the reason today my father is a free man again. Back when this started which was last year, Mr. Scrofano recommended prolonging this trial so we could have a different judge just so my father could have a chance. To me, that shows he is very knowledgeable with the process and the judges. He also was very detailed and thorough while reviewing the evidence. Instantly, he knew my father was not guilty but knew this was not going to be an easy case. Mr. Scrofano made it all make sense to everyone in the courtroom; that's how I felt. He showed much sympathy, dedication and always kept my father informed. Mr. Scrofano will always be my #1 Criminal Defense Lawyer and I will definitely recommend him to anyone.

When I first talk to Joe I was ready to throw in the towel and plead guilty just to make it all go away. Joe convinced me there was no benefit in that and that fighting could only make things better. That's basically exactly what we did. Joe was on top of the case from the very beginning and was ready to take action at each turn. He was fantastic; and helped bring what could have been a terrible experience that was only going to get worse and made it better. We achieved the goals we set out to. Would recommend Joe to anyone who needs an excellent lawyer.

He is a very well respected man in the courts as well and very well known and to make things better, he is a very personable person. He will get to know who you really are. GO WITH SCROFANO LAW...

I live outside the US and needed legal assistance for a simple but important legal procedure in Washington DC where I used to live during my college years. I contact Scrofano Law Firm and got a prompt, courteous and specific answers from Mr. Joseph Scrofano. This level of professionalism continued throughout the process which lasted about 3 months with a good amount of email communications and paperwork. The fees I paid were reasonable in view of the amount of work (and the expertise needed). If I needed legal assistance in future, I will not hesitate to hire this firm again.

My case was legally categorized as "hit and run" though I did not aware of it until receiving a letter from DC police. Internet is virtual but the letter from police is real so I needed to find a good and trusted lawyer through internet to handle my case as I did not live in DC area. I finally hired Joe as my lawyer and he did a great job so my case was successfully dismissed. Here I appreciated all Joe's previous client recommendations and I strongly recommendation him again to any one who need a great and trusted lawyer.
