Scrofano Law PC Adds 'The Professor' Matthew Kensky to Virginia Team

Scrofano Law PC has significantly strengthened its Virginia practice with the addition of Matthew Kensky, a highly respected Northern Virginia criminal and traffic defense attorney with over two decades of courtroom experience. Known among legal colleagues as "The Professor" for his exceptional mastery of Virginia criminal case law, Kensky brings deep trial experience, appellate advocacy skills, and a reputation for clear, compassionate client communication to the firm. His career began in 1999 at the Fairfax County Public Defender's Office, where he represented thousands of clients and rose to Senior Assistant Public Defender before moving to a boutique Fairfax firm and eventually running his own successful solo practice for four years.

Kensky's extensive experience spans multiple Northern Virginia jurisdictions including Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Stafford, and Shenandoah counties, where he has handled cases in both District and Circuit Courts. Beyond his trial work, he has argued appeals before the Court of Appeals of Virginia and the Supreme Court of Virginia, as well as matters involving Virginia administrative agencies. Former clients describe him as "a rare gem" who combines thoughtful, kind, and compassionate representation with relentless advocacy and meticulous preparation. Kensky expressed excitement about joining Scrofano Law PC, noting that the firm shares his values of providing high-quality legal services while genuinely caring about clients.

As a sought-after educator within the defense bar, Kensky regularly teaches annual CLE case-law updates and trains other criminal and traffic defense lawyers on the latest decisions from Virginia's appellate courts. He has become the attorney fellow practitioners call when they need precise citations, nuanced arguments, or precedent that can make critical differences in negotiations or at trial. A graduate of James Madison University and George Mason University School of Law, where he served as Managing Editor of the Civil Rights Law Journal, Kensky brings both academic rigor and practical experience to Scrofano Law PC's expanding Virginia practice, which clients can learn more about by visiting the firm's website or seeing Google Maps for location details.
