Attorney Profile

A. Michelle Fulton

 

Born in West Monroe, Louisiana and raised in Bossier City, Louisiana, Michelle was educated at Parkway High School in Bossier City, where she graduated in 1987. She went on to attend Kansas State University, where she received a BA in English in 1997. While at KSU, she was active in Student Government and a member of the Golden Key National Honor Society. She was also honored in the Who's Who Among Colleges and Universities. 

In 2000, Michelle served as a judicial intern under Justice Tim Taft at the First Circuit Court of Appeals. She was also a member of the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity. She attended Texas Southern University's Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where she graduated cum laude in 2001.

Michelle is currently a member of the Texas State Bar, the Galveston County Bar Association, the Galveston County Family Law Bar Association, the Galveston County Mediator's Association, the Texas State Bar College, and the Texas Pro Bono College. Michelle is also a Civil and Family Mediator and serves as a court appointed CPS attorney when needed. In the community setting, Michelle is an active member of LifePoint Church. 

Married to Clayton Kilgore, they have four children between them, three boys and one girl between the ages of 21 and 33, and eight grandchildren. 

Michelle's own personal tragedies fueled her desire to become an attorney and help families avoid the mistakes that she saw firsthand- mistakes which could have been avoided with proper planning. With a rise in the number of incidents of stroke and other ailments that render one incapable of making their own decisions, Michelle realized that planning for incapacity was just as important as planning for disposing of one's property upon death. Having gone through a divorce of her own, Michelle also saw a deep need for parties facing divorce to learn to co-parent effectively and get through the trauma of divorce without bitterness and hostility. Her personal experiences have made her more approachable, more sympathetic, and more dedicated to improving the quality of life for as many people as she can. Her faith in God gives her a unique perspective and ability to zealously advocate for her clients while utilizing alternative dispute resolution methods that reduce stress and mitigate the financial ramifications of litigation.

 

In her time off, Michelle enjoys spending time with her family, writing poetry, journaling, sailing, reading, watching movies, and having huge family and friend get-togethers.

 

Michelle was recently named as one of Houston's Top Lawyers 2013 by Houstonia Magazine/Avvo, an honor she is humbled and honored to receive.

    Great Lawyer

    Posted by

    I would recommend Alyssandra Fulton to anyone going through a divorce. She was with me the whole time and kept me up on everything that was going on. Everything went smooth and fast!! Not only was she a great lawyer for me but she has become a great friend!! Love this girl :-)

    Excellent Attorney!

    Posted by

    Michelle totally understood my expectations and came through for me in my time of need. She explained the divorce process and timeline and answered my questions every step of the way. She showed great empathy and compassion for a situation that was very difficult to me. I highly recommend her!

    Currently working with Michelle

    Posted by

    I’m currently working with Michelle and she has done a great job in communication even while she was out on vacation. She continued to stay up to date on my case and although we are still going through this process I am overall happy with her communication and support during a stressful time for everyone. I will update as the case closes.

    Custody case

    Posted by

    Michelle and her firm were so helpful!! She handled, and won, my case in 2015. At the time of my case I didn’t have an address or phone number for my ex, just a couple possibles. Her process server was able to find my ex and serve him, which I thought would be impossible. But it was done!! Michelle and Teri talked me through everything and when I signed any papers Michelle thoroughly explained what I was signing. She got me everything I asked for, and more!! I will always be grateful for her and her law firm <3

    Made the Impossible, Possible!

    Posted by

    I was referred to Michelle by a friend who told me that Michelle settled her difficult custody case. When I hired her, I was on year 2 of a nasty divorce where we were fighting over everything from custody to property and had already had 2 failed prior mediations. Michelle came in and immediately figured out what needed to be accomplished to get my ex to come to the table. Miraculously, Michelle got us settled without me having to shell out for a third mediation and I couldn't be happier!

    AMAZING lawyer and an AMAZING person

    Posted by

    I used Michelle to revise custody/child support with my very difficult ex. Not only was she amazing, she kept me sane throughout the whole ordeal. She was very responsive, and trust me, I emailed her constantly. If I sent her an email at 10pm, she replied THAT NIGHT. She cares very much about her clients and that is very obvious. She kept me well informed the entire time and was upfront and honest with me. I wouldn't even think of using anyone else. I can't say enough good things about Michelle. She's a great person and a great lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone, no doubt about that.

    U want Alyssandra Fulton on your side!

    Posted by

    She won my case effortlessly. She is truly amazing. She even had someone come out of courtroom to get her business card. If u need a lawyer for anything she handles she is the one u need without a doubt. She emailed and kept me update for the two years it took to finally go to trial and then couldn't reach me and called me from her cell phone to make sure we were prepared for court. She is definitely worth more than 5 stars. ********
