About Benjamin
Benjamin Scarfe earned his J.D. from CAL Northern School of Law, where he completed the program in General Law. The legal education he received there set a foundation for practice in California courts. He entered the local legal community soon after graduation and began building a practice grounded in criminal defense work and related court proceedings.
Early in his career Scarfe became active in professional organizations that reflect his practice interests. He has been a member of the Butte County Bar Association since 2010. He also joined the California DUI Lawyers Association around 2010 and remains listed with that group. For a period he belonged to California Lawyers for Criminal Justice from 2010 to 2011. These affiliations have kept him connected to colleagues handling DUI and criminal matters across the state.
Scarfe’s professional path has been shaped by courtroom work and local client service. His memberships suggest regular engagement with DUI defense issues and criminal law practice. Over time he has handled matters typical to criminal defense practitioners in the region, representing clients who face a range of charges. He operates in courts across California and maintains an awareness of local procedures in the communities where he practices.
He practices through Scarfe Law Office and operates an office in Yuba City. Those offices serve as the base for client consultations and case preparation. Scarfe works with individuals on cases that often require immediate attention, including arraignments, pretrial motions and plea negotiations. He also represents clients at trial when matters proceed that far, handling the evidentiary and procedural aspects that arise in criminal and DUI cases.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who prefers practical, hands-on work in courtrooms and client meetings rather than public-facing legal scholarship or academic roles. His continuing participation in the California DUI Lawyers Association and the Butte County Bar Association points to sustained involvement in local legal networks. That involvement helps him stay current on practice trends and changing court rules, and it provides a steady point of contact for other attorneys and potential clients.
Scarfe continues to maintain his practice in California through Scarfe Law Office and the Yuba City office. He currently handles criminal defense and DUI-related matters in state courts in the region.
