His work has earned statewide recognition, including being named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and receiving the Rising Star Award from the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Beyond his litigation practice, Julian is known for his commitment to strengthening West Virginia’s legal community. He is the founder of Counsel Connections, a statewide initiative that brings together attorneys, judges, and law students for mentorship, networking, and professional development. Under his leadership, Counsel Connections has hosted judicial receptions, statewide meet and greets, and collaborative events with WVU College of Law and Marshall University—creating meaningful opportunities for engagement across all levels of the profession.
Julian also serves the broader community through his involvement with MeetUp Tri State and MeetUp West Virginia, organizations he founded to foster connection and civic engagement among young professionals. His dedication to service is reflected not only in his professional accomplishments but also in his ongoing efforts to build a more connected, collaborative, and vibrant West Virginia.
