Charles R. Ullman & Associates has added family law attorney Kevin F. Sullivan Jr. to its Raleigh, North Carolina, practice, bringing a litigator with extensive courtroom experience and a record of public service to a firm that serves clients in Raleigh, Cary, and throughout Wake County. The move signals the firm's intention to deepen its capacity for handling contested family law matters at a time when demand for skilled advocacy in divorce and child custody disputes remains high.
Sullivan previously practiced with North Star Law Group, LLC in Anchorage, Alaska, where he represented clients in evidentiary hearings, depositions, trials, and mediations. That work earned him the Alaska Bar Association's 2025 Pro Bono Champion designation and the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault's December 2025 Volunteer of the Month recognition. Those honors underscore a commitment to representing clients who might otherwise lack access to legal help, an attribute the firm describes as central to its client-focused approach.
His litigation background helps him formulate and execute legal strategies tailored to clients' goals in divorce, child custody, and other family law matters. For families facing difficult transitions, the addition of an attorney with trial and mediation experience can affect how cases are prepared and resolved, particularly when negotiations stall or a judge must decide contested issues.
"We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to our team," says Founding Attorney Charles R. Ullman. "His strategic insight, creative approach, and unwavering dedication to serving the community will be invaluable assets as we continue to advocate for our clients and seek favorable resolutions on their behalf." The statement points to a broader strategy at Charles R. Ullman & Associates of pairing compassionate representation with courtroom readiness, a combination that can influence outcomes in sensitive family disputes.
Sullivan is a member of the North Carolina Bar Association, Alaska Bar Association, United States District Court for the District of Alaska, and Massachusetts Bar Association. He earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Massachusetts: Boston, graduating Summa Cum Laude. His cross-state credentials may benefit clients with matters that cross jurisdictional lines, though the firm's work remains rooted in Wake County.
The hire comes as families in North Carolina continue to navigate separation, divorce, domestic abuse, child custody and support, property division, and spousal support. By adding an attorney with demonstrated success in high-stakes hearings and a service record recognized by legal and advocacy organizations, the firm aims to enhance its ability to guide clients through challenging life transitions.
