Martin Fuller
Director & Solicitor
When I founded Fullers Family Law in 2003, it was with one simple but powerful aim; to do family law differently. I wanted to create a space where people facing some of life’s most difficult moments could feel truly heard, supported and empowered, with legal solutions that are personal, strategic and creative, built around what really matters most to those we represent.
The drive to create something different came from my own life journey. I joined the British Army at just 16, learning discipline, resilience, and how to lead from the front - even when the odds are stacked against you. That experience shaped the way I approach everything: with clarity, strength, and an unshakable belief to keep moving no matter how tough things get, and to look after those who stand with me.
After qualifying as a solicitor, my then partner and I set off in an old camper van. We travelled overland from the UK to India before backpacking through Southeast Asia to Beijing. It was a journey that opened my eyes to the power of human connection. Whether we were navigating border crossings, sharing meals with strangers or just getting directions, I learned that real understanding does not come from speaking louder, but from listening better. It is about empathy, cultural awareness, and meeting people where they are. Those lessons have become central to how I approach negotiation and conflict resolution to this day.
Today, I lead one of the largest privately owned family law firms that has not lost the personal touch. Our team delivers strategic, tailor-made solutions that put the client first. Whether it’s a high-net-worth financial dispute or a deeply emotional family matter, we take time to understand what really matters to you, and then we build a plan with you. We don’t default to compromise; we approach every case creatively and intelligently to secure the best possible outcome.
We believe that exceptional service starts with a supported, skilled team. That is why we invest in our people - when they thrive, those we represent benefit too. We are proud to hold the Investors in People Gold Standard, a reflection of our ongoing commitment to professional growth, wellbeing, and high standards across the firm. It’s not just something we say - it’s something we practice every day.
Above all, I’m a family man myself. I know what it means to protect, to sacrifice, and to care deeply about the people you love. That is why every case we handle is treated with the respect, sensitivity and the dedication it deserves. We understand that behind every file is someone’s real life, including those who are unrepresented within the family.
Our role is to help you understand your options clearly, and to work with you to move things forward in a way that makes sense for your situation. We will help you understand your options and offer clear, practical advice that is based on knowledge, experience and creative thinking.
"When I instructed Fullers I was uncertain of what to do and where I stood legally. I would definitely recommend Fullers as they gave me the confidence to pause and think. They helped me put together a coherent plan of action together with a negotiation strategy. I was informed of the legal implications relating to my case in a straightforward, clear and ordered manor. I was very satisfied with the service. The conflict management was excellent everything that was said in that meeting was spot on. Meeting with Martin helped put my mind at ease and it was a strategy masterclass."
Simeon Staines - Consultant
"I've worked with Martin on a number of Collaborative Law Matters as Family Consultant since 2012. His professional attitude combined with an approachable demeanour makes him a consistent hit with the clients he represents. Always keeping the fine details of the legal process and the needs of his clients firmly in sight, Martin still manages to work with the entire collaborative team at a personal level. As the legal community as a whole continues its long slow U-Turn from black letter law to more humanistic practice, Martin leaves the pack behind in his entire approach and continues to pull further ahead. Proof beyond all doubt that high quality legal representation can be provided without a club tie and pin striped suit, Martin Fuller should be a client’s first choice in the Bedford/Northants areas."
Johnathan Pease - Director at New Landscape Mediation
"What struck me most about Martin was his focus upon resolution. His advice was focused and his knowledge was superb. The level of contact I had with Martin was reassuring and his support and advice was invaluable."
Jonny Hoyle - Child Permanence and Family Reunification Development Lead @ North Yorkshire County Council
"Martin gives practical and effective advice and always makes time to be available when necessary. He is supportive and encouraging and works hard to think of all possibilities. I felt he was always thinking of my best interests."
Jon Aikman - Consulting Services - Property Projects - Project/ Programme Management, Commercial Mediation
"Martin is a true example of getting what you pay for. I would recommend him to anyone needing a humanitarian approach to family matters. The industry could do with a lot more Martin's!"

Client Testimonials
“Fullers have been marvellous throughout the whole 2.5 years this process has taken. Right from the beginning when I spoke to Martin while blubbing like an idiot, to Mira finally bringing it all to an end. I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved with the case, no question of mine has been too stupid and I have been given the best advice at all times. I already recommend Fullers to everyone!”

“I found Fullers Family Law fantastic. From an initial call for a free 30 minute consultation, to a follow up call from Mr Fuller himself, meeting him and Carla and her handling my case, I found them helpful and felt that they cared. They left me feeling empowered to deal with the matter and took the stress away. They did not try and get me to spend more money than was necessary, even suggesting on occasion that it wasn't worth spending money on certain things. When advice was needed urgently it would be done the same day. They were flexible in their approach to meeting with me (face to face or Zoom). They gave me the confidence to stand up to my ex, call her bluff and as a result I received a fair settlement, still out of court. I cannot recommend Fullers Family Law enough. I would have no hesitation in using them again in the future.”

“I could not thank or recommend Fullers Family Law enough. From my first contact with them they were sympathetic and helpful. Carla and Martin took me from an all time low and empowered me to fight for what was fair. They came up with "out of the box" solutions, gave me a lot of time, good advice, and did not suggest spending money when it was not needed. They really took the stress out of the situation and made me feel like they cared and that I was important, rather than just another client. I would absolutely recommend Fullers Family Law and would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you so much Carla and Martin.”

“Had a 1st meeting with Martin Fuller and I would highly recommend if you have to go down this road having an early meeting, it really puts you on the right path. Martin is an experienced solicitor, who cuts through all the irrelevance to get to the heart of the matter. Gave focus and clarity to help me move forward. He is supported by Suzie who is very helpful and gave me detailed options for my next steps. I look forward to working with both in the future.”
