Veteran Criminal Defense Attorney Matthew Kensky Joins Scrofano Law PC, Bolstering Northern Virginia Practice

The legal landscape in Northern Virginia is shifting with the addition of Matthew Kensky to Scrofano Law PC, bringing more than two decades of criminal and traffic defense experience to the firm's Virginia practice. Known among legal professionals as "The Professor" for his deep knowledge of Virginia criminal case law, Kensky's arrival represents a significant enhancement of the firm's trial capabilities and appellate advocacy resources.

Kensky's career trajectory demonstrates a consistent commitment to criminal defense work, beginning in 1999 at the Fairfax County Public Defender's Office where he represented thousands of clients and advanced to Senior Assistant Public Defender. His subsequent experience includes serving as criminal and traffic defense attorney at a boutique Fairfax firm and operating his own successful solo practice for four years, handling cases across multiple Northern Virginia jurisdictions including Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Stafford, and Shenandoah counties.

The importance of this hiring extends beyond mere personnel changes in the legal community. Kensky brings substantial appellate experience, having argued cases before both the Court of Appeals of Virginia and the Supreme Court of Virginia, as well as handling matters involving Virginia administrative agencies. This appellate expertise is particularly valuable for clients facing complex legal challenges that may require appeals or involve nuanced interpretations of Virginia law.

Client testimonials highlight Kensky's reputation for combining relentless advocacy with compassionate client communication. Former clients describe him as "a rare gem" who is "thoughtful, kind, and compassionate" while maintaining meticulous preparation and steady counsel. Kensky expressed his alignment with Scrofano Law PC's values, stating, "I'm excited to be part of a team at Scrofano Law PC that shares my values. The firm not only prides itself on providing the highest quality legal services but genuinely cares about its clients."

Beyond his direct client representation, Kensky serves as an educator within the defense bar, regularly teaching annual CLE case-law updates and training other criminal and traffic defense lawyers on the latest decisions from Virginia's appellate courts. His role as a resource for fellow practitioners—often called upon for pinpoint citations, nuanced arguments, or precedent research—underscores his standing within the legal community and the broader implications of his move to Scrofano Law PC.

The addition of Kensky to Scrofano Law PC strengthens the firm's position in the competitive Northern Virginia legal market, particularly given his extensive trial experience and appellate background.
