Madeline Hurley

Attorney

Madeline helps individuals and families navigate divorce and family transitions with dignity, respect, and a focus on peaceful resolution. Originally from Rougemont, North Carolina, Madeline proudly serves clients across the state, offering skilled legal representation grounded in compassion and collaboration.

Madeline is passionate about helping families statewide resolve disputes without court intervention. Her practice focuses on Collaborative Divorce, a client-centered approach that empowers parties to maintain control over the process while protecting their finances, mental health, and relationships.

Madeline earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Appalachian State University, where she was named to the Dean’s List for four semesters. She received her Juris Doctor from Campbell University School of Law, graduating with an Honors Distinction in Client Counseling. During law school, she gained valuable legal experience through externships with North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby and State Senator Jim W. Davis. She also worked as a Law Clerk at Marshall & Taylor, PLLC, where she now proudly practices alongside her longtime mentor, Jeff Marshall.

Throughout her career, Madeline has consistently been recognized by her peers and the legal community. She was selected for inclusion in Thomson Reuters Super Lawyers: Rising Stars from 2020 through 2026, and named to Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite for Family Law in 2022. These honors reflect her dedication to excellence and her reputation as a trusted advocate in North Carolina’s legal community. While Madeline welcomes recognition from her peers, her greatest satisfaction comes from successfully resolving her clients’ disputes and knowing she has assisted them in overcoming personal challenges.

Beyond her client work, Madeline is an active member of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice and the North Carolina Bar Association, where she served on the Task Force on Integration, Equity, and Equal Justice. She also contributes to her community through volunteer leadership, including past service on the Board of Directors for the East Wake Education Foundation and the Resource Center for Parents and Children in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is a member of the Junior League of Raleigh, working to support women and children in Wake County.

When she’s not advocating for her clients, Madeline enjoys fly fishing, bird watching, and spending time with her family.
