Judge Ralph A. Boniello, III: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Ralph A. Boniello, III is a Justice of the Niagara County Supreme Court in the Eighth Judicial District of New York. He was elected to the Supreme Court bench in 2001 and certificated to the seat in 2015.


He is a registered Republican.


Justice Boniello received his B.A. from Ohio University in 1966. He went on to earn his J.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo Law School in 1969. He also obtained a certificate in air and space law from McGill University Institute of Air and Space Law in 1970.


He began his legal career at the law firm of Boniello, Gellman, Anton, Brydges, Conti, and Schroff, where he practiced alongside his father, the late Ralph A. Boniello. Six years later, he was named a partner at the firm, which then became known as Boniello, Anton, Conti, and Boniello. While at the firm, Boniello would also serve as agency counsel at the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency beginning in 1990 and would hold the position until 1994.


Four years later, in 1998, Boniello left the family firm to enter into solo practice at his own law firm. During his time in solo practice, he also rejoined the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency in the same capacity. He remained in both positions until 2000 when he briefly served as county attorney with the Niagara County Attorney’s Office.


While on the Supreme Court bench, Justice Boniello was appointed to serve on the Statewide Committee on Elder Abuse in 2015.


His other memberships have included serving as past president of the New York State Supreme Court Justices Association, the New York State Supreme Court Justices Association for the Eighth Judicial District Chapter, the Niagara Falls City Bar Association, and the Niagara County Bar Association. He was also on the Board of Directors for the State University of New York at Buffalo Law School.


Justice Boniello received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Western Region Affiliate of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association in 2014 and the Hon. Jacqueline Koshian Service Award from the Niagara County Bar Association in 2013.
