If I Could Give Him 10 Stars, I Would
I would like to begin my review of Daniel Fulce "Daniel" by saying if I could give him 10 stars, I would. But since I am unable to do just that, how about five ++ stars. First, let me say that my opinion of Daniel is his first-rate, top-notch professional expertise, his empathy, camaraderie, and ability to tap into a person's needs, along with his ability to ultimately look to ways to present a successful outcome for my husband, Bruce Frost. Bruce is not an easy guy to work with. Difficult would be an understatement. My husband is the most stubborn guy on the face of the planet, but Daniel kept his composure, always trying his best to understand where Bruce was coming from and how best to resolve this case based on the circumstances presented. Facts presented, case presentation, and final and ultimate best resolution are all factors that play into this, and Daniel hit them all. He met with and worked out a plan with the prosecutor to put Bruce on a path where he would be able to ultimately have his case dismissed. Hallelujah! My husband was reluctant to accept this passive plan, but Daniel assured him this was the best possible avenue to resolve this and with the best outcome for Bruce. And with my prodding, Bruce attended the final hearing and came through with flying colors. But this could not have been accomplished without Daniel's complete follow-through. This was a WIN-WIN for Bruce, and we cannot thank Daniel enough. Daniel, we appreciate you!!!
Sandra Frost
Daniel Helped Me Put the Pieces Back Together
I had the pleasure of working with attorney Daniel Fulce with Mayes Telles law firm. I admit when I went to seek an attorney, I was very skeptical about what I would find and if I could even locate a suitable attorney to handle my case. I always felt I was innocent and that this whole farce of a case should be thrown out. I just couldn't see myself in the middle of this mess. But then I met Daniel and he helped me put the pieces back together and sort through the "mess." He helped me make sense of the details and helped me every step of the way. I have to admit I needed a lot of handholding, and I am not the easiest person to get along with by a longshot. But Daniel saw through that persona and was able to help me despite my shortcomings. In the end it all worked out and he was able to get me a suitable resolution to my case. Daniel was patient, kind, and compassionate and knew just what to do. I want to thank Daniel and the firm of Mayes Telles for helping me get through this very unpleasant and unfortunate set of circumstances and turned them around to get me a favorable resolution to my case. It could have been much different, and I owe it all to Daniel and his expertise. Thank you, Daniel, for everything. I really appreciate it.
Bruce Frost
Very Professional and Organized

An Investment in Peace of Mind
I can’t thank the Law Offices of MayesTelles, along with my assigned Managing Attorney, Chris Culbert, and Paralegal, Shameeka Johnson, enough for such great service and representation. From the very beginning I felt supported, informed, respected. Communication was clear, calm, and I was met with zero judgment. I always felt confident my case was in the best hands. They explained everything, answered every question, and treated me like a person, not a case. I’m very grateful for the guidance and the outcome. Choosing this firm was an investment in peace of mind and the level of care and advocacy I received confirmed it was the right decision. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thanks again,
Darren J.

An invaluable advocate for my family
Melissa Baugh has been an invaluable advocate for my family throughout our recent legal matters. She consistently represented us in court with confidence and professionalism, presenting the facts clearly, concisely, and effectively. I relied on her expertise numerous times while navigating complex decisions, and I am confident that the positive outcomes we achieved were largely the result of her dedication and hard work. I am sincerely grateful for her exceptional representation.
Jordan Ball
They took great care in my case
I, Richard, have never met anyone at this business personally. I have talked to them over the phone and through email because I live in another state. Even though this was the case, everyone there treated me professionally and very personally. They took great care in my case and in seeing it resolved. The amount of joy and happiness they have brought to my life and my family's life in resolving this case is priceless. I could never thank them enough.
