MEET MACE
Mace M. Robinson:
Mace M. Robinson is a first generation college graduate and first generation attorney.

Mace graduated from the University of Oklahoma where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree with distinction in philosophy, as well as his Juris Doctorate degree. Mace began clerking for Fulkerson & Fulkerson, P.C. back in 2018 while he was working towards his undergraduate degree. Having gained ample experience with Fulkerson & Fulkerson prior to law school, he continued his time with the firm as he progressed through law school. After graduation, the firm hired him on as an associate attorney, contingent on bar passage. Shortly thereafter, he passed the bar exam in the top 5% of examinees in July of 2023.
During his time with the firm, Mace has worked extensively with Shawn D. Fulkerson in an array of matters including, but not limited to, business planning, estate planning, civil Litigation, real estate, non-compete/non-solicitation employment issues, as well as personal injury matters.
When Mace isn’t at the office, he is most likely doing something outside with his dog, Jack, cooking out with his family and friends, fishing, or golfing.
