Introduction

Kentucky is home to more than 140,000 foreign-born residents, and Carman Fullerton has spent years building a legal practice around the needs of that community. The firm maintains offices in Lexington, Kentucky at 271 West Short St., Suite 101 (859-971-0060) and in Tampa, Florida at 210 West Platt Street, Suite C (813-682-4770), with attorneys available around the clock for client emergencies.

Practice Areas

Immigration law is the firm foundation. Dan Carman and Kirby J. Fullerton represent clients facing deportation threats from ICE, family members detained at facilities such as the Boone County jail in Burlington, and individuals pursuing lawful permanent residence through marriage, employment, or family ties. The firm handles a wide spectrum of non-immigrant visas, including H1B, B1, E1, E2, B2, F1, J1, K3, K1, and O1 classifications. Additional immigration matters include Cuban family reunification and Special Immigrant Juvenile status cases for minors who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected.

Attorney Kirby Fullerton focuses his practice on immigration law and represents clients before immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals. The firm attorneys understand how criminal charges and convictions affect immigration status, and they represent both documented and undocumented immigrants at every stage of their proceedings.

Workers compensation is a second significant practice area. The firm represents employees injured in workplace accidents throughout Fayette County and across Kentucky, handling claims for electrocution, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, amputations, and burns. Attorneys guide clients through injury reporting, claim filing, and securing appropriate medical treatment. They help injured workers challenge claim denials and disputes over benefit amounts under Kentucky workers compensation statutes. Free consultations are available at (859) 971-0060.

The firm also handles family law matters including divorce and child custody, personal injury cases from vehicle accidents, and criminal defense for charges such as DUI that carry immigration consequences.
