Biography
Attorney Joseph Scrofano is a tireless advocate who aggressively defends DC DUI and other criminal cases. He is a graduate of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College, a selective trial advocacy program for criminal defense and plaintiff lawyers from across the country. He is a founding member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association and has been named a Rising Star or Super Lawyer in Super Lawyers Magazine every year from 2015 to the present.
Before starting Scrofano Law, he spent two years clerking for the Honorable Natalia Combs Greene in the DC Superior Court where he worked on hundreds of complex civil and criminal cases.
Since that time, he has represented over 1000 clients in the District of Columbia courts with an overwhelming majority resulting in dismissals, not guilty verdicts, or probationary sentences.
