I highly recommend Matthew Stephen Kensky as an experienced and skilled criminal defense lawyer. He handled my case perfectly and achieved a successful outcome. Matthew is not only highly professional but also very sociable, respectful, and understanding. He kept us informed every step of the way, providing updates on time and ensuring we felt confident throughout the process.
A special shoutout to Alana Monastriotis, who was incredibly responsive and answered all our questions quickly and clearly. The entire team was excellent. If you need exceptional legal representation, please visit them—you won’t be disappointed!

Mr. Kensky represented my mother in her case this past month and working with Mr. Kensky was relieving. Mr. Kensky was sympathetic and honest to our situation. He made sure to be attentive to all details when speaking to him about the case. We reached out to his office for a consultation and were able to get an appointment the next day. From the first meeting, Mr. Kensky was knowledgeable and honest when providing his opinion. My mother and I were really stressed regarding the court date and the false accusations made. From the first consultation until the court date, we had 5 meetings with Mr. Kensky in a short amount of time. Those meetings were very efficient and focused on what we needed to prepare for the court date. The meetings were long hours to be able to get through everything we needed to cover before the court date. Mr. Kensky helped us get through it and set us up to be in the best position possible for the court date. He explained his plan and thoughts in regards to everything presented to him, which helped my mother and I feel reassured as we prepared. We could not push the court date further so it was a busy couple of weeks leading up to the court date, but Mr. Kensky delivered.
English is not my mother’s first language. Therefore, it requires patience and understanding during preparation to make sure everything is articulated and nothing is left out when going over evidence and preparing for the court date when going back and forth between English and Spanish. He took notes, made sure he went over facts and evidence multiple times, and thought out all possible outcomes for everything discussed. Through all this, he didn’t waiver and was not impatient when I was transitioning between English and Spanish. This made my mom feel extremely comfortable and helped relieve a little of the stress from situation we were facing.
By the final meeting, we had gone through everything we had in regard to evidence and had discussed all possible outcomes. The anxiety of the court date the next day was a lot, but that meeting really was the last stretch before the court date. Mr. Kensky went through topics again that we needed to cover and was reassuring that we had the truth on our side. He also confirmed multiple times to make sure there was an interpreter requested for the court date.
The actual court date was a very long day, unexpectedly. My mother and I were nervous but Mr. Kensky had our case dismissed thankfully. During the court hearing, my mother was nervous based on the topics heard but Mr. Kensky was reassuring and encouraging that we were in a great position for our case. My mother did not have to speak once thankfully and he got our case dismissed without needed her and I to speak. After the case was dismissed, Mr. Kensky spoke to the other party to attempt to come to a resolution in regard to the situation. It showed that he his goal was to dismiss the case, but also attempt to offer a solution between us (my mother and I) and the other party.
I am extremely grateful to have met and have had Mr. Kensky represent us. It’s difficult to have someone dig through all the information we provided and make sense of it for presentation during court. Mr. Kensky handled that extremely well and represented us in court with the same effort. He really is a great attorney to have on your side with his expertise and grace in managing the case during what was a difficult time for my mother and I.

I highly recommend Mr. Kensky as an attorney based on the experience I had with him recently for a case he represented me on. He worked long hours and many meetings with me to go over evidence, details, and information related to my case. He also demonstrated patience with me as English is not my first language.
I was able to feel very comfortable with him and see that he was putting his best effort to help defend me in my case. He was able to get case dismissed thankfully. There were many hours of stress when going through all the information and evidence, but his confidence when processing the information and our discussion helped reassure me during those meetings. Throughout my case, Mr. Kensky and Alana were very quick to respond to any question I had. I would either call the office or email Alana, and I would receive a response very quickly. I was grateful for the quick turnaround and responses during this time.
The day of the court date, I was nervous based on the accusations heard but Mr. Kensky defended me with confidence and reassured me that the hearing was going well. He defended me with all the information I provided and I did not have to speak during the hearing. I was grateful when the case was dismissed thanks to Mr. Kensky defending me during my hearing with the truth.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kensky at Scrofano Law PC and I couldn't be more satisfied with the whole experience. When I initially emailed him to inquire about my case it was very late that night and he still emailed me back the same night, which was very surprising because its almost impossible to have someone answer that quickly on a week night. From our first consultation, Matthew was professional, super knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. Mr. Kensky took the time to explain everything in full detail and explained all of the options we had and he was always available to answer my questions.
Throughout the process, Mr. Kensky demonstrated exceptional expertise and commitment, which made me feel confident and supported. I truly appreciated his attention to detail and strategic approach, which ultimately led to a successful outcome. He was able to get my case dropped after going back and forth and fighting for me with the prosecutor, now he can get my charge expunged as well which was exactly what I wanted out of this. I had called a few lawyers beforehand and when I spoke to those other lawyers I felt like all they cared about was my money.. I didn’t feel like they genuinely cared for my case. After my friend recommended Matthew Kensky to me right off the bat, I knew he would be the best option to choose out of everyone in Fairfax county.
I highly recommend Matthew Kensky to anyone in need of legal assistance. He goes above and beyond for his clients, and I am grateful for his help. I will forever recommend him to everyone who’s in need of legal help. Trust me, you won’t regret it. He’s the best at what he does!!

Matt Kensky was fabulous in making sure there was minimal time for me in the court room. We had quite a few things from my past we needed to clean up; he did so with ease. I am extremely grateful for him and his knowledge of what to do that I didn't have to think too much about any of the process. It just got done!
Years of experience shows in his swift work!
I'll always endorse him if someone needs a lawyer :)
Thanks Matt!

I recently was facing some serious charges. Mr. Kensky was able to convince the judge to suspend all the time that I got during my sentencing. I ended up getting all 9 years suspended. I ended up doing no active jail time. 100% satisfied with Matt’s services!

Matthew Kensky represented me in court for a serious traffic violation. Prior to court, he thoroughly explained the law and penalties involved. M. Kensky described three different scenarios he expected to occur in court, depending on the judge, the officer involved, and the atmosphere at the time. He advised me to take driving courses online and in-person, and to complete some community service.
Mr. Kensky's judgements in court were simply prescient. On his advice, we went to trial. After arguments and consideration for the driving courses and community service I completed, our judge handed down the best verdict imaginable. In the end, I retained my driving privileges and received the lowest possible fine for my offense. I felt so relieved. It was like magic!
I highly recommend Matthew Kensky for dealing with serious traffic violations. His preparation is exemplary, and he is very sharp on his feet.

Omg, lets see where I can begin. I am overly pleased with the outcome of having Mr Kensky as an attorney. Not only was his expertise, knowledge and demeanor great, I can see he had a great rapport with the otherside as well. He was very effective and efficient in getting things handled. He listened and thoroughly communicated through out the whole process. You can feel the honesty on a deep level. He is the type of advocate you would want in your corner. I would give him a 10 star rating if it permitted.

I was a witness for a CPO hearing. Matt Kensky was the lawyer for the case. He was thorough, thoughtful, kind and compassionate — and made sure he was very well steeped in the facts of this horrific case of 9 months of stalking and harassing. He always gave sound and measured advice and guidance. I would recommend without hesitation his services to anyone needing a great lawyer for these types of cases. If I could give more than five stars I would.

Matt Kensky is an excellent attorney who took a personal interest in my case. Myself and my loved ones had been stalked, harassed and threatened for the past nine months. The amount of material was substantial - but Matt tirelessly went through all of the facts to present the best base we could - he was awesome! I appreciate aleverything Matt did and when we were in court, everyone in Fairfax knew and respected Matt. I am so grateful (apologies to Matt for not being eloquent) for everything he has done for us. He was prepared, he spent hrs on hrs on strategy sessions, had case law at his fingertips, and executed the case flawlessly in court. I can't say enough good things about Matt and even had we lost (we won!!!! a permanent Civil Protective Order) I felt that I had the best, most, respected attorney in the courtroom. Matt is excellent, period. If you want to be represented in the best possible way, hire Matt and he will do an excellent job for you. I will and would recommend Matt to everyone who faces this situation.
Matt - thank you for everything - your services were worth every penny to me and much more. I wish I could express my gratitude and your skills in a better way.
