Julie A. Nociolo

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Schools & Education, Civil Rights

Julie’s unwavering dedication is evident in her tireless efforts to achieve favorable outcomes for her clients while also educating them about the often misunderstood aspects of defending criminal cases. Her passion for her clients has not gone unnoticed, as judges and adversaries alike in state and federal courts respect her commitment and unwavering determination to overcome unexpected challenges. This same commitment extends to her work in defending students accused of misconduct or Title IX violations at colleges and universities. Julie meticulously evaluates the most effective litigation strategies and fearlessly advocates for her clients’ rights.

Julie’s impressive track record in trials has earned her the admiration of the legal community, despite her relatively brief tenure in private practice. Since joining E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy, she has collaborated with James Knox and E. Stewart Jones, Jr. to handle numerous state and federal felony cases. Her guiding principle is that significant criminal cases demand a team approach, and when a case proceeds to trial, at least two attorneys work diligently to prepare the client and their family, ensuring a zealous defense from the counsel table.

While Julie excels as a passionate trial attorney, some of her most notable successes lie in preventing trials or criminal charges altogether. This is achieved through the dismissal of indictments, favorable plea negotiations, or skilled representation during government investigations. Julie always considers the broader impact of a criminal case on her clients and frequently extends her representation to collateral matters, such as litigation in parallel civil enforcement proceedings or defending her clients’ professional licenses. Should the need for an appeal arise, her experience as a former New York State Court of Appeals judicial clerk equips her to draft and argue cases before appellate courts.
