Fulnecky Law LLC relocates

Attorney Kristi Fulnecky has moved her Springfield-based law firm out of her home to 1530 E. Primrose St., Ste. E.

On Nov. 5, Fulnecky celebrated her new location with an open house and a reception for Macks Creek artist Lyn Hope Phariss, whose work was exhibited in Fulnecky's office as part of the Springfield Regional Arts Council's Art in Public Places program.

"I've always been a big fan of performing arts, so I thought I would help the visual arts. We have such talented local and regional artists," said Fulnecky, who's on the board of directors of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, chairworman of Crescendo, the young patrons of the Springfield Symphony, and co-chair of the Symphony Gala set for March.

Fulnecky, who earned her law degree at Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington, opened her practice in December 2007.

Though Fulnecky will still make house calls, she said one reason for her move was to better serve her clients.

"If they don't want to meet at their house or business, it was just easier for me to have an office to meet them for their convenience," she said.

The move also was driven by opportunity. When Fulnecky's mother, Susan Krittenbrink, decided to relocate her State Farm Insurance agency from East Cherry St. to East Primrose, she asked Fulnecky if she was interested in sharing the space.

Fulnecky Law LLC is a general practice, and Fulnecky handles real estate, traffic and family law cases. A registered member of the Comanche tribe of Oklahoma, Fulnecky also works on cases related to the Native American gaming industry.

"I've picked up some consumer debt counseling. People who want to avoid bankruptcy come to me, and I try to settle their claims with their creditors," Fulnecky said. "I've also started doing government contracting (law)."
