About

Carman Fullerton, PLLC is an immigration law firm based in Lexington, Kentucky, with an additional office in Tampa, Florida. Founded on the principle that immigrants and their families deserve experienced, compassionate legal representation, the firm has earned a 4.5-star rating from 58 client reviews and serves individuals facing some of the most challenging legal circumstances.

The firm's practice centers on immigration law, criminal defense, and family law—three practice areas that often intersect for immigrant families. Attorney Kirby J. Fullerton focuses primarily on immigration matters and has extensive experience representing clients before immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals. His deep familiarity with how criminal proceedings affect immigration status is particularly valuable for clients whose legal exposure spans multiple areas. Attorney Dan Carman brings substantial trial experience and has been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers as a member of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers and Top 40 Under 40. Both attorneys are members of various local and national bar associations and are fluent in Spanish, reflecting the firm's commitment to serving diverse immigrant communities.

Carman Fullerton works with individuals regardless of how they entered the United States—legally or otherwise—and with clients at every stage of immigration status. The firm assists with green card applications, non-immigrant visas, ICE detention matters, removal and deportation defense, and family reunification cases, including Cuban Family Reunification options. In family law, the firm handles child custody and support, domestic violence matters, divorce, and prenuptial agreements. The firm also provides criminal defense representation with an understanding of how convictions and criminal charges can jeopardize immigration standing.

The firm recognizes that immigration issues are deeply personal and often frightening. Beyond technical legal skill, Carman Fullerton emphasizes creating an environment where clients feel heard, safe, and understood. The team accommodates speakers of multiple languages beyond Spanish, acknowledging that many clients prefer to communicate in their native language. The firm's Lexington location allows attorneys to provide personalized, engaged service to surrounding communities while maintaining the resources and expertise of a broader practice.

Carman Fullerton stresses that the U.S. immigration and legal system is complex and that missteps can carry severe consequences, including deportation. The firm encourages prospective clients to seek professional representation rather than attempting self-representation, especially when language barriers or unfamiliarity with American law compounds the challenges.
