“I can't recommend Julie highly enough for anyone needing legal assistance.”
I wanted to share my experience with Attorney Julie Nociolo. As an international student, I had zero idea about the legal process when I faced an academic integrity case with my university, especially with a prior violation on record. The stakes felt incredibly high. Julie was a lifesaver throughout. Her support, expertise, and quick responses were invaluable. She made sure I understood everything and guided me to a successful outcome. I can't recommend Julie highly enough for anyone needing legal assistance.

“Ultimately I was exonerated and I have James to thank as a big reason why.”
I utilized the services of James Knox to help on a complaint against my license. This was my first time ever needing an attorney and he was open and honest throughout the proceedings. He explained how the process works and made sure I understood each step as it went on. The entire process lasted over 3 years, and James kept in touch with me as updates rolled in. Ultimately I was exonerated and I have James to thank as a big reason why.

What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?

When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
