Review Michelle Julyan

Above and Beyond Expectation

Posted by

Both attorney and paralegal were amazing I had a great time working with both of them they were super patient anytime I had questions of regularly got back in contact with me. They helped me in my family get through so much my first lawyer experience and I could not imagine hiring anybody else! I had to go back and forth traveling out of state and they definitely accommodated me when it came to meeting and what we needed to discuss.

I contacted MJ and Melissa during one of the hardest times in my life

Posted by

I contacted MJ and Melissa during one of the hardest times in my life, their knowledge, care and compassion has been over flowingly abundant since day one. This was my first time going through this so I didn't know what to expect, at every twist, turn up and down they coached me every step of the way, not only providing the legal advise I needed but also emotional support. When you have a legal team fighting in your corner whose got your back, it brings unprecedented comfort during what I can only explain again, as the hardest thing anyone person will go through. They have great communication, no email/call/question, ever went unanswered and were working on my case many, many times on their days off. MJ worked diligently to ensure no unneeded legal expenses were executed. They are a knowledgeable, trustworthy, diligently hardworking, caring and compassionate legal team.

Absolutely the best!

Posted by

If I could write a thousand reviews, I could never praise Michelle enough. From our first meeting, she made me feel heard and protected. Her ability to remain steady, calm, and strong in the face of any situation has helped me deal with a very difficult child custody case. Michelle is well known and respected in the Raleigh family law arena, and this is very helpful in making her clients feel confident in her experience and expertise. I am convinced you could not find a better attorney to guide you through the maze of family law cases. Thank you, MJ!
