Compassionate and Competent Attorney

My partner and I hired Mr. Fulton as our attorney to help us with a stressful and emotional dog custody situation. From the start, he was attentive, empathetic, communicative, and honest with us. Talking to him helped calm us before any steps were even taken. He knows the law well and properly manage...d our expectations regarding the case. He was very fair in his legal fees as well. It is clear that Mr. Fulton's only goal is to help his clients. Although we did not get the exact result we wanted, we did get the best possible result, and that was thanks to Mr. Fulton and his legal advice. We highly recommend him!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
