Wonderful Experience

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.

Posted by Scott | January 03, 2017 | Hired Attorney

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 p...resentation. 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!

Excellent, Compassionate Attorney. I'm Forever Greatful!

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 ab...ove 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.
