This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend Julie Nociolo

We have the deepest gratitude and appreciation for Hacker Murphy LLP firm and especially for Julie Nociolo who we enlisted during an incredibly stressful and potentially serious situation involving our son. From our first meeting, Julia’s experience and expertise was evident, giving us the confidence... we needed to navigate through the process. She kept us consistently informed and provided a realistic assessment of the situation at every turn - she told us exactly what we were facing which helped us to manage our expectations. We appreciated her managing the emotional weight of the process as well, keeping our son focused and calm, ensuring that he understood the gravity of the situation without becoming overwhelmed. We would highly recommend Julie to anybody facing a legal situation.

I hired Julie and James for my fiance. He had some serious federal charges and was facing a life sentence. They were able to get my fiance a decent sentence so he will be able to get back to his family. They answered every phone call, text message and email. They were very easy to talk to and made me... feel like they were working for us and didn't just want our money. I will recommend them to anyone facing criminal charges. They will get you the best results. They are the best attorneys in the capital district.

I have the deepest gratitude and appreciation for attorneys Julie A. Nociolo and James Knox, and for the entire E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy firm who represented me against federal drug trafficking and weapons offenses. These attorneys saved my life and made it possible for me to return home to m...y family in the very near future, an outcome that was virtually impossible considering that I faced a potential life sentence. They answered every phone call and returned every text message. They made sure I had a clear understanding of every detail of my case. And something that I value above all is that they honored they're word whenever they gave it. I was handled like family and consider them to be good friends. There are no lawyers or law firm that will fight harder for their clients or get better results than this firm. These guys are the best PERIOD!

Fantastic service

Ms. Nociolo filed a motion to federal court for me was very professional. She took the time to review the facts of my case and explained each step along the way. My motion was ultimately successful. As soon as Ms. Nociolo was informed she immediately informed me. Excellent attorney for sure!!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was assigned Special Prosecutor on a very complex multi-jurisdictional case where Ms. Nociolo was defense counsel. There were complex issues of law that -- if addressed incorrectly -- could have resulted in her client going to State Prison. Ms. Nociolo did a terrific job managing all of the moving parts, advocating on behalf of her client, communicating with opposing counsel, and refusing to back down from a County Judge who disagreed with her legal position. It is rare that a case can resolve with the prosecution, the defense, and the Judge all satisfied with the outcome. It happened in this case in large part because of Ms. Nociolo's tireless efforts on behalf of her client."
