Dana Ingham

If you are here, you are looking for help, advice or perhaps a small army; Dana Ingham is your answer to all of the above. She brings to any situation an invaluable combination of skill sets. First and most importantly, Dana is a masterful active listener. She takes the time to fully understand you a...nd your needs. She doesn’t assume that she knows - she takes the time to make sure that she understands. Dana and I have known each other for more than 20 years. When I hired her she left nothing to chance to make sure that she had a complete understanding of my case. Dana is able to take that information and turn it into an actionable strategy. What does that mean? She spends more than 300 days a year in the court room. This she has more trial experience than most attorneys who are twice her age. She knows the backstory, nuances, and quirks of every judge and master in the area. Throw away the thought that you should hire the practice partner of the big name law firm. That is a recipe to spend a ton of money for a sub optimal result. Dana Ingham is a next level attorney but more importantly, she is an amazing person. She will forever change the way that you think about lawyers- for the better.

Ms. Ingham has been the guiding light through all my difficult custody and child support battles. I honestly do not know where I would be had I not called her. Dana has not only professionally fought for what I deserved, she has personally protected my daughter and I. Perhaps the thing that impres...sed me the most is that she truly cares about her clients and will go above and beyond to protect them. Do not hesitate to call Dana. It will be your best decision.

Dana Ingham represented me in 5 separate criminal matters, at the same time, containing over 15 first degree felony offenses and many dozen lesser felony/misdemeanor offenses. Our legal battle lasted 21 months. During this time my initial inclination was to have Dana fight for the best deal pos...sible so she immediately entered into aggressive plea negotiations leveraging any and all of our cases strengths while highlighting the prosecutions legal pitfalls. Dana was required to contact and acquire documentation and legal evidence from multiple out of state jurisdictions and separate entities within those jurisdictions to build our defense for leveraging the best deal possible. Unfortunately, and in no way related to Dana's legal representation, the prosecutions best offer was not conducive for me at that time. Dana and I rejected the offer and entered into developing a strategy for motions hearings and potential trial scenarios. Through this entire process I needed to make decisions potentially leading to being incarcerated for a few more years or being incarcerated for 36-72 more years. Dana guided me through the entire process with professionalism and poise. I always felt fully informed of the legal ramifications of my decisions and that Dana was 100% fully committed to providing me with the best service and defense. During motions preparation Dana successfully navigated the complexities of all my cases and impressed me with her ability to memorize the smallest most critical details. Our strategy for motions if we were to lose, was to fight my case at the Superior Court of PA because we believed in a victory on appeal. (**Future potential clients of Ms. Inghams this may NOT be what is best for you. I say this because I was willing to gamble with my life, so please understand if you choose to gamble it doesn't matter how good your attorney is, you may not be as fortunate as I was. Strongly consider the guidance of your attorney.**) Dana was thoroughly challenged by the tall order of my requests and the prosecutions strong desire to play hardball against us. Despite Dana's preparation and excellent effort we did not win our motions hearing. In my opinion, we lost because I had a Judges family as a victim in my case and no matter what Dana did we were not going to win. Dana began preparing me for trial and the Superior Courts appeal process. Once again, Dana was extremely knowledgeable and I felt well informed. Dana was ready to defend me and attack the prosecution at trial, as well as preparing for an inevitable appeal. I was very confidant in Dana navigating the next stages of our battle. Fortunately, we did not need to continue our fight. In my opinion, this was because of Dana's aggressiveness during behind closed doors talk and the strength of our case on appeal. The prosecution offered Dana a timed served scenario for me with a few years of probation. In the end it was a victory because I was released after a long difficult battle. I would like to add that Dana was always prompt with communicating with me or my family. Dana also gives her clients the opportunity to be heard and express their thoughts. She genuinely cares about getting her clients the best outcome for them and their families. Thank You Dana
