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 definitely recommend Julyan Law Firm. MJ and Melissa worked with me through a separation and really had compassion for the tough task at hand. They were knowledgeable, professional, and really put me at ease throughout the entire process. Big thanks to MJ and Melissa for all their hard work.

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

Highly recommended
From the initial consultation through the entire case, MJ was professional and very knowledgeable. I felt secure in MJ's confidence to address all the issues at hand. Not an air of arrogance but a confidence that comes from experience. MJ was thorough in getting all the necessary details and in the presentation. I highly recommend MJ Julyan.

Absolutely the best!
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!

Very Knowledgable And Thorough
Michelle Julyan did an excellent job of representing my case. She was thorough in explaining the Separation/Divorce process and was readily available to discuss any questions I had. Her expertise helped me receive a more than fair settlement. I highly recommend her services.
Michelle is without a doubt the most talented divorce/child custody attorney. Aside from Michelle's unsurpassed knowledge of the law, she is extremely respectful and compassionate when representing her clients. I knew I wasn't just a case number to her. She truly cared about my well being and went above and beyond the responsibilities as an attorney to make me feel safe and secure during such a difficult time. Michelle helped me manage issues that were extremely overwhelming and impossible for me to manage myself. I am forever grateful and blessed to have had Michelle's help, guidance and representation and would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce and custody dispute. Her hard work, persistence and exceptional knowledge of the law gave me optimal results. There is no way I could ever express in words how grateful I am.
