About Julia
Julia Sharifov trained in New York. She earned a B.A. in political science from New York University in 1998 and completed her J.D. at New York Law School in 2002. Those years framed her early interest in the intersections of policy and law. She moved from study to practice without delay and has spent the years since building a private practice.
She began her legal career soon after law school. Early roles included standard tasks for junior lawyers: legal research, drafting pleadings and memoranda, and client interviews. Over time she took on more complex responsibilities. She learned to manage files, prepare cases for court, and negotiate on behalf of clients. Those years shaped the practical side of her work.
Sharifov later founded the Law offices of Julia Sharifov PC. As the firm’s principal she handles case strategy and oversees daily operations. Managing a small firm requires attention to both legal detail and office logistics. She balances court calendars and client meetings alongside administrative duties. Colleagues describe her as methodical in planning and thorough in document preparation.
Her professional skill set is rooted in core legal tasks: factual investigation, legal analysis, writing and oral advocacy. She routinely prepares briefs and motions, conducts depositions, and advises clients on procedural options. Much of her work involves counseling individuals and organizations as they weigh legal choices. She also spends time on negotiations and settlement discussions when disputes allow for resolution outside the courtroom. Those skills have been central to her practice style.
Outside the file folders she has taken on responsibilities typical of firm leadership. She supervises staff, handles billing matters, and cultivates client relationships. Her approach to cases is practical. She aims for clarity in legal advice and steadiness in client communication. As of 2026 she continues to lead the Law offices of Julia Sharifov PC and directs the firm’s day-to-day legal work, centering her practice on client representation and case management across civil matters.
