Based in the firm’s Rockville office, she is an integral part of the Maryland Team, working closely with Managing Attorney Paolo Gnocchi to deliver exceptional results in serious felony and misdemeanor cases.
Michelle has defended hundreds of clients in Maryland District and Circuit Courts, earning a reputation as a relentless advocate in cases ranging from DUI and traffic offenses to firearm charges, drug distribution, theft, assault, and sex crimes. She has tried numerous jury and bench trials to verdict and has obtained Not Guilty verdicts in jurisdictions throughout the state. A Charles County jury returned a Not Guilty verdict for her client after deliberating for only five minutes.
Before joining Scrofano Law PC, Michelle practiced at a firm that combined criminal defense and immigration law, giving her unique insight into the collateral consequences non-citizen clients face in the criminal justice system. That experience fuels her holistic, client-centered approach—ensuring she not only fights for your freedom, but protects your future.

A native of New Jersey, she graduated from Ramapo College with a B.S. in Political Science and a minor in Science, Technology, and Society. During college, she served as President of the Model United Nations, and was a member of both Alpha Phi Omega, a community service fraternity, and Alpha Lambda Delta, a national honor society.
Michelle is licensed to practice in Maryland and New Jersey, and her admission to the District of Columbia Bar is pending. She is an active member of the Maryland State and Montgomery County Bar Associations, the LGBT Bar Association and the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorney’s Association. Outside the courtroom, Michelle lives in Montgomery County with her cat, L.A., and knows all the best hiking spots, plus how to avoid bear encounters in Garrett County.
