  On March 27, 2015, Fuller was interviewed about his work on Entertainment Tonight by presenter Nischelle Turner. When asked what his clients were most scared about, he said: "Will I be raped? Will I be killed? [I tell them] likely no, but hopefully I can help you avoid situations where that might occur." . Commenting on the case of former Senator Joseph Coniglio, Fuller has said: "My first piece of advice to [Coniglio] would be to forget his entire life as a senator, because now he is simply an inmate. And inmates don't care who you are. No longer will he snap his finger and someone will jump for him. He'll be respectful at all times."
