Amy S. Ingram

I gave one star because it's the lowest option to choose from, I wish I could pick no stars. As a new business start-up, we interviewed numerous attorneys and picked Amy based on our initial interaction. One of the biggest mistakes we've ever made! After we gave Amy $5,000 she was almost impossible t...o get in touch with, calls and texts went unanswered for days. She also messed up very simple incorporation papers. She also was going to leave our very important, messed up incorporation paperwork locked up in her office while she went on vacation (time was of the essence for our business and she knew it!). It was only after literally begging her in numerous texts and phone calls (that she ignored for half the day leading us to believe she had already left! we were totally panicked!) did she grudgingly leave our stuff taped to her office door. After she returned from vacation (which turned out to be for three weeks!) we heard absolutely nothing from her. Not "Im back!", not "Did the mess I left turn out okay?" not "Did you fix the mess I left?" not "I'm now available to fix the mess I left" not "How's things going guys?" Nothing! She did not return phone calls, emails or texts, nothing! She completely ignored us! She was asked to review extremely important business paperwork at our initial meeting and never did a darn thing about it, it was like she threw it away. Again, we were left to legally fend for ourselves after giving her $5k! After 2 demand letters threatening legal action for the return of our money she returned half of it claiming the rest for a bunch of souped up "services rendered". She literally did almost NOTHING for us and kept our $2,500! I have since spoken with numerous people about their similar experiences with her. I wish I had known just how unprofessional and lazy she was before I gave her our very hard-earned money so I'm writing this review in the hopes that I can save someone else's very hard-earned money from going down the Amy-toilet!

She advised me to sign a divorce agreement that was not in my best interest!!!! She never checked the math in the agreement, and I just found out I was being paid $700 less than I should’ve been for child support for the last 4 years! Also never explained to me that in this agreement there was a clau...se that I was not eligible to go back to family court for adjustments for child support EVER!!!! My three children were 8, 7 and 3 at the time of signing of the paperwork. I never would’ve agreed to this, ever! Now I’m stuck unless I want to hire another lawyer and deal with a lot of trials and hearings. I am beyond mad!!!!! Don’t use her! She is awful! Also in the divorce agreement she allowed my exhusband to claim the children for taxes, when I am the custodial parent. How is she able to practice law?????? And I’m the chump that paid her to represent me, don’t make the same mistake I did. If I could give her no stars I would.

I hired Amy as my lawyer when child custody, visitation and support issues. She always did her best to be available to answer questions, even if it wasn't right away. She'd get back to me within 24 hours. She never left me high and dry, always made appearances and meetings. She traveled between Kings...ton, NY and Troy, NY to make court appearances and even did what she could to schedule dates and appointments to cut down on travel costs. She also has demonstrated a professional commitment to giving her clients the representation they are entitled to. I was always happy with the work she did for me. If I had any complaint at all, it would be that she tends to talk very fast.

I didn’t have the resources to hire a lawyer because of a disability. I was in the middle of a custody battle with my abusive ex. I had previously been represented by several lack luster attorneys in the Kingston area. They only cared about billing the County for representing me and not about my cond...ition or what I had to say. Amy was the only attorney who took the time to listen and explain the law and my rights. She went above and beyond what I expected from my appointed attorney. She was able to correct the lies my ex was saying with facts. She was able to reunite me with my child. She took the time to do her job and fight for me. I recommend Amy to anyone who needs the representation of a great attorney. None of us ever want to hire a lawyer but if you are forced to Amy is the one to call. On a side note… Everyone has a right to legal counsel no matter what they are accused of. That is what our justice system provides. Think if you were in the shoes of the accused? Weather rightly or wrongly… wouldn’t you want someone to advise you of your rights? To criticize an attorney for doing the act they were educated for and the oath they take as an officer of the court is ridiculous. Especially when they were appointed by the court to do so.

I do not reside in the State of New York and needed an Attorney to represent me to retrieve funds owed to me from a Real Estate Development Project in New York State. Ms. Ingram came to my attention by a referral from an out-of-state attorney and I have found her to be Discerning, Levelheaded and Res...ponsive with handing my case to date. Ms. Ingram reviewed my case details discerning the defensible from the emotional facts. This caused the defendant to respond to my allegations for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, etc. Ms. Ingram is very levelheaded dealing with the opposing attorney and the Developers false accusations towards me, attacking her with unfounded truths. Ms. Ingram is persistently dealing the Development Company attorneys playing games of deniability, and then using delay tactics and intimidations to counter litigate. Ms. Ingram has dealt with each of these tactics with professionalism and concern for me. Ms. Ingram is very proactive and keeps me informed on each step of the legal twist and turns we face while in the pursuit of an equitable result for me. Ms. Ingram clarifies my question then answers them plainly with clarity. Would I recommend Amy Ingram…you bet I would.
