Nicole Wolf is an experienced maritime attorney and a member of Jones Walker’s Maritime Practice Group, focusing on complex maritime litigation, including personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, contractual disputes, pollution matters, and marine investigations. She represents vessel owners, operators, and manufacturers; marina interests; and charter captains in state and federal courts and administrative proceedings, delivering practical, business-minded counsel grounded in early incident response, strategic case analysis, and efficient dispute resolution.
Nicole regularly defends cruise line and recreational vessel claims, as well as vessel operation incidents and maritime products liability matters. She also represents maritime stakeholders in arbitration proceedings and Jones Act related matters, bringing a strong understanding of risk allocation, indemnity structures, and insurance considerations in complex, multiparty disputes.
A key part of Nicole’s practice involves rapid response investigations. In connection with United States Coast Guard administrative proceedings, she has led client-facing incident response efforts, including managing an investigation hotline and advising on fact development, regulatory response, and the coordination of parallel civil and administrative matters. Fluent in Spanish, Nicole routinely leverages her bilingual skills in investigations and matters involving Latin America.
Before entering private practice, Nicole served as an assistant state attorney in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, where she prosecuted serious felony cases and took multiple matters to verdict. Her criminal law background informs her approach to investigations, witness development, maritime criminal issues, and trial strategy.
