Located in Harrison, New York, The Scolavino Law Firm PLLC serves clients throughout Westchester County and the Lower Hudson Valley in three core practice areas: family and matrimonial law, personal injury and criminal defense. Our approach rests on a single guiding principle – that the law serves as both a shield for the just and an instrument for uncovering truth.

We were founded by Joseph E. Scolavino, a former state prosecutor and assistant attorney general, who brings more than 15 years of courtroom experience directly to every client we represent. Rather than delegating matters to junior associates, we personally manage each case from start to finish, ensuring that the attention our clients receive matches the gravity of what's at stake.

In family law, we champion parents and professionals navigating divorce, custody disputes, support obligations and asset protection. We understand that these matters threaten not only financial stability but also the relationships people have built with their children, and we work to preserve both.

Our personal injury and civil rights practice draws on Mr. Scolavino’s background as a former assistant attorney general, giving us particular insight into how government entities construct their defenses. This experience allows us to pursue Section 1983 claims, Monell actions against municipalities, wrongful conviction compensation and cases involving constitutional violations with informed precision. We also advocate for individuals confined under the Mental Hygiene Law and pursue federal compassionate release petitions on behalf of eligible inmates.

We recognize that legal crises rarely wait for convenient timing. Whether someone has just been injured, arrested or served with divorce papers, we stand ready to respond without delay, knowing that early decisions often shape a case's ultimate outcome.

To make quality representation accessible, we offer free initial consultations, accept credit card payments and provide virtual appointment options for clients who need flexibility. Contact us today.
