The Compassionate Attorney you Need by Your Side
Molly Brazil is an experienced family law attorney in North Carolina. She focuses exclusively on domestic matters, including child support, child custody, equitable distribution, domestic violence protective orders, and separation agreements. While litigation may be necessary to resolve domestic disputes, Molly is known for securing exceptional negotiated settlements that spare her clients from ever having to step foot in a courtroom.
At times, legal negotiations can go off track, reaching a point where an amicable resolution no longer seems feasible. In a recent separation agreement case, negotiations became emotionally charged, and the parties began to feel their positions were too far apart to reach a deal. Molly managed to bring the opposing counsel back to common ground, demonstrating that the parties were closer to agreement than it appeared. After arranging a private mediation, Molly helped her client reach a peaceful resolution without a protracted court battle. Both parties were delighted with the outcome. With the legal dispute behind them, both parties were able to shift their focus to co-parenting and raising their children.
Molly was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina. Reluctant to leave the North Carolina mountains, she pursued her undergraduate studies at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Molly went on to earn her law degree from Elon University School of Law, where she was honored by the North Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers with an award recognizing her leadership and excellence in advancing family law. Molly is continually inspired by her clients and derives immense satisfaction from seeing them summon the courage to leave situations that are sometimes horrific.
