Julie Minicozzi handles a wide variety of litigation matters in federal and state courts, including constitutional claims, complex commercial litigation, contract disputes, fraud claims, malpractice claims, regulatory litigation, environmental litigation, and white-collar defense matters.

Julie’s practice focuses on representing clients in high-stakes disputes and contested proceedings involving allegations of misconduct, contract and fiduciary disputes, government-facing litigation, and appellate matters. She has represented public entities, senior government officials, and corporations in constitutional matters, employment claims, fraud and embezzlement allegations, and procedural and jurisdictional challenges.

Julie has played a key role on multiple matters involving a former state elections official, helping secure and defend rulings that narrowed claims and reframed the litigation around immunity defenses and threshold legal issues. In a separate complex commercial litigation, she helped prosecute and defend claims across jurisdictions arising from an embezzlement scheme involving the former general counsel of a major multinational corporation, where she assisted in coordinating a multi-forum strategy and advancing claims for recovery while opposing efforts to derail the suits at the pleading and motion stages.

Julie also has experience in appellate litigation before New Jersey’s highest court. She contributed to a case clarifying that municipalities may be held liable for frivolous litigation, a decision that has practical implications for fee-shifting, deterrence of meritless suits, and the conduct of civil practice across the state.

With a strong commitment to pro bono work, Julie has served both as a command center volunteer and a hotline volunteer for the nonpartisan Election Protection coalition.

She is a former clerk for the Hon. Susan D. Wigenton, District Court Judge for the United States Federal District Court of New Jersey, and the Hon. Stuart J. Rabner, Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Prior to her legal career, Julie worked for one of the country's leading mortgage lenders. She also taught college English composition and literature classes as an adjunct professor at a local university.
