Mr. Fulk gave me great advice just over the telephone and told me I could call him back if I needed more advice. He’s very friendly and was very helpful. He was very sympathetic with what I was going through

I had used Jake Fulk as my divorce lawyer. He and his paralegal were very responsive and very intelligent with all of their advice and knowledge when it comes to the law and divorce proceedings.

Throughout all of my contact with Jake Fulk, I was treated with the courtesy and respect that I expected from a professional. Divorce is not an easy or fun process to navigate, but Jake guided me through the process in a way that my interests were protected while simultaneously keeping the process amicable. I am very thankful for his help and recommend him very highly.

Jake is by far and away the best attorney I have ever had!! He listened to me, my needs, concerns, and questions, and gave me solid legal advice! I'd highly recommend!

Compassionate, knowledgable, gets results quickly. Put me at ease in our first meeting and never disappointed me.

My ex-husband and I had a pretty amicable divorce but we wanted to get our visitation and child support issues down on paper to avoid any issues. I'm so glad we did and that I choose Mr. Fulk to represent my interest. We thought we had figured out everything but Mr. Fulk brought many potential issues to light and we were able to discuss them rationally and come up with a plan- before we had a problem or unexpected event/cost arrise. I have recommended Mr. Fulk in the past and will continue to do so.

Jake was an outstanding attorney! When i was going through a difficult divorce I was not sure who to turn to since I have not lived in Bloomington that long. Jake came highly recommended and I am so glad I listened and used him to handle my divorce. He listened to everything I had to say very intently and always kept me in the loop. He truly is a fantastic lawyer and I am glad i now have the opportunity to pass on the recommendation to you!

I hired Jake back in 2012 as I was going through a divorce and custody battle. While representing me I spent countless hours in Jakes office providing information and preparing for hearings. As each hearing date came it was always the same thing a continuance and back to the office for more preparation. Jake made one court appearance on my behalf in which little was resolved. In total Mr. Faulk ran through about 12,000.00 in 3 months with no results. I let Mr. Faulk go as my attorney and sought representation elsewhere.

I hired this lawyer to represent me in my divorce. My ex-wife and I had agreed to minimize our lawyer costs by mutually agreeing to a fair settlement and between us. I presented Jake with our mutual agreement, and he became upset with me and said I shouldn't be making agreements with my ex-wife. He insisted and pressured me to pursue the divorce in the manner he wanted me to go. I ended up spending an addition $3000 more and ended up settling for what my ex-wife and I had originally agreed too and what I had originally presented to Jake. I feel that he did not listen to my wishes and I ended up having to pay him way more than I should have. I would caution anyone using Jake Fulk as an attorney.
