Superb Employment Contract Attorney

Mischelle evaluated a professional employment contract for me. She is a superb lawyer, because she balances humanistic care and concern for my long-term best interests, with a keen analytical mind that identifies potential problems rapidly. She has real-world solutions and suggested changes to cont...ract language that all parties to the contract agreed would be fair, reasonable and an improvement over the original proposed document. I quickly learned to trust Mischelle with my legal questions, feeling that I am consistently receiving the best possible legal representation. To objectively rate Mischelle as a "superb" attorney is an understatement.

Dealing with a municipality

My concerns dealing with a municipality were in the development and annexation lines. My points of concern were dealt with in a precision like manner. The legal and practical aspects were addressed from a municipal and a developers view. Having this information allowed me the opportunity to make my d...ecisions based not only on economics, but time and "frustration" factors. Mischelle R. Fulgham has earned my respect and future business.

The Best

I have been fortunate to have Mischelle provide to me legal advice and services for over 10 years. I have found her knowledge and legal expertise to be unsurpassed. She is extremely proficient in many legal areas and is able to combine that legal knowledge with great "street smarts" and business sav...vy successfully accomplish the matters that she was asked to work on. From simple business issues to representing me in the State Supreme Court I felt I could have no finer attorney or individual looking out for my best interest. She has the ability to be tenacious when required to accomplish her objective but also possesses the negotiating skills and intuition to settle issues with minimal legal expenses, an invaluable combination. I would strongly recommend Michelle for any legal challenge you may face and feel privileged to have representing my interests.

Lakefront Dispute

Mischelle has been an asset in helping us resolve a dispute with neighbors on lakefront property. The dispute concerned the destruction of a stairway, covered by an easement, that occurred within the setback zone between our home and theirs. In effect, our pathway to the beach was destroyed and the n...eighbors were reluctant to rebuild. Mischelle's knowledge of easements, county building and planning and disputes between neighbors helped lead us to resolution. She was prompt to answer emails and I found her to be pleasant and professional to work with.

Black Rock HOA

Mischelle entered our case in the middle of a lost cause and brought to a very high level of professionalism and litigation skill. She work closely with us to achieve success at the Idaho Supreme Court level. She is intelligent, excellent at law and a tireless worker. Besides that I like her.

  • 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.
