About John
John Runfola is a highly experienced and effective criminal defense attorney whose cases have drawn national and international attention. He has succeeded in winning favorable results for clients at trial and through skillful pre-trial work and negotiation.
Mr. Runfola is listed in the peer rated Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. He has earned the highest rating from the national lawyer registry Martindale Hubbell, which for over 94 years has compiled scores based upon a confidential peer review process. Achieving an "AV" rating indicates that a lawyer is ranked at the highest level of professional excellence by members of the judiciary and practicing attorneys in his area of specialization. The rating reflects both the highest level of legal ability and very high adherence to the Professional Code of Responsibility in conduct, ethics, reliability and diligence.
Prior to starting his own practice, Mr. Runfola served as a Deputy Public Defender in San Francisco where he gained invaluable courtroom experience. He is a seasoned trial lawyer who prides himself on being involved in developing investigation strategies, motions work and client preparation.
His cases have been the subject of numerous articles in publications including The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, and the San Francisco Examiner, and has been featured on national television newscasts and programs including "48 Hours" and "Dateline NBC."
Mr. Runfola has a deep commitment to justice, is keenly aware of the daunting task a defendant faces when accused of wrongdoing by the federal or state government and is willing to do everything in his power to aid the client in his fight. He comes from a tradition of the strongest legal advocacy and ethics, having seen his father, Joseph Runfola, achieve great success as a criminal defense lawyer and a groundbreaking president of the Erie County Bar Association in New York State. Joseph Runfola, among other accomplishments, created a committee on sex discrimination well ahead of its time, and headed the Bar Association's Aid to Indigent Prisoners Society and its Prisoner Release Program. Like his father, John Runfola truly listens to and is a tireless advocate for his clients. Above all, he works with his clients to achieve the most favorable outcome of their situation.
