Nicole L. Milone is a Partner in our Litigation Practice Group where she represents businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes across New York State courts and federal jurisdictions. With a focus on delivering strategic, results-driven counsel, Ms. Milone has successfully handled a wide array of cases involving commercial landlord/tenant disputes, air rights conflicts, commercial real property litigation, and business contract disputes. She routinely represents clients in matters involving telecommunications disputes and class actions brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Known for a sharp analytical approach and persuasive advocacy, Ms. Milone is adept at navigating both courtroom litigation and pre-litigation strategy, with particular strength in multi-party disputes and cases involving sophisticated commercial arrangements. In 2025, she and her team earned her client an $18.5 million jury verdict after a complicated and lengthy jury trial involving a contractual dispute over air rights in the Commercial Division of the New York State Supreme Court. In 2024, she and her team obtained a favorable summary judgment decision dismissing both contract and fraud claims against her clients, saving them from $18 million of claimed damages, which decision was later affirmed by the First Department, Appellate Division.
Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Milone was a Litigation Associate at a boutique law firm in Manhattan where she handled commercial real estate litigation, ranging from commercial mortgage foreclosures to broker fee disputes. She also served as an Intern for the Office of the Nassau County Attorney where she assisted with the Mortgage Foreclosure Clinic at the Nassau County Bar Association and worked with the Nassau County Commission on Human Rights to combat housing and employment discrimination.
Ms. Milone earned a Juris Doctor from the Maurice A. Dean School of Law at Hofstra University and a Bachelor of Arts in English from James Madison University.
While in law school, she worked with the Housing Rights/Law Reform Advocacy Clinic where she participated in the federal anti-discrimination lawsuit against the Village of Farmingdale that resulted in the creation of affordable housing units for displaced Latino residents. She was also a member of the Legal Emergency Aid Project, a group that raised money to travel to New Orleans, Louisiana over their spring break to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina through volunteer legal work with the Pro Bono Project.
She is currently a mentor in the Lawyers Involved in Kids’ Education (LIKE) program where she donates an hour weekly to a student at Walnut Street Elementary School in Uniondale.
