About Michele Hollowell
Michele Hollowell Cybulski built a foundation in higher education and the liberal arts before turning to law. She earned a B.A. from Appalachian State University in 1990. She later studied higher education administration at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and completed her legal training at Elon University School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2009.
Her career has been rooted in North Carolina. After law school she began practicing in the state and became involved with the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. That association connects trial lawyers across the state and provides a forum for continuing legal education and professional standards. Cybulski’s membership in the organization is part of her ongoing engagement with local legal networks.
Over time she gravitated toward firm practice and now works at Deuterman Law Group. Her role at the firm has placed her in clients’ cases that arise under North Carolina law. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing matters for court and attentive to procedural detail. She balances casework with participation in professional events and trainings offered by statewide organizations.
Cybulski’s background in higher education administration flavors her approach to client work. That administrative training informs how she organizes case files, prepares witnesses and manages timelines. The combination of a liberal arts undergraduate degree, graduate study at UNC–Greensboro, and a J.D. from Elon provides a varied perspective on both policy and procedure. It also shapes how she explains legal issues to clients who are unfamiliar with courtroom norms.
She maintains an active practice through Deuterman Law Group. Her work involves handling matters under North Carolina law and collaborating with other attorneys in the firm. In practice she emphasizes clear communication and steady preparation. She currently focuses her practice on matters arising under North Carolina law at Deuterman Law Group.
