Prior to establishing myself as a consumer advocate and “street fighter” for individuals, families, and small businesses, I spent my early legal career representing large, national corporations. One day a senior partner of the firm I worked for tapped me to assist him in representing a family friend who had been seriously sexually harassed by her boss, the CEO of a large retail clothing company. She had even been retaliated against when she spoke up. It was a real down-and-dirty fight, but we ended up getting this very nice lady a seven figure settlement. During that year I found that my true passion was working for “real people.” In 2005 I founded The Fullman Firm to serve individuals and small businesses in consumer law, credit law, debt settlement and bankruptcy. I love my job, my clients, my associate attorneys, and my staff. I enjoy coming to work everyday.
