Shelly Maynard Ingram

I worked with Jessica Guillespie on my recent divorce. She helped me understand the process, was patient when I needed time then engaged and responsive when I was ready to move forward. Jessica and her entire team communicated quickly and effectively so I always felt in control of my case. Even aft...er the divorce was final, Jessica made certain the details were followed to the letter. If you’re looking for a great team to be on your side during a difficult time, Shelly Ingram Law Firm is the best choice.

Shelly Ingram is intelligent, efficient and reliable. Her expertise in divorce law and her ability to analyze potential courses of action while pursuing a settlement is noteworthy. She is a great communicator and advocate. She is detail oriented and proactive while engaged in negotiations and seizes ...the initiative in a natural and non-contentious way. I have already recommended her services to several colleagues and will continue to do so. Her office’s support personnel are also outstanding and responsive to all emails and telephone calls. In summation, it was a pleasure to work with Shelly Ingram and her team during a less than pleasurable time. Brian F.

Working with Jessica S. Gillespie and her exceptional team during my divorce was an incredibly positive experience during an otherwise difficult time. From the very beginning, I felt fully informed and supported. They communicated clearly at every step, ensuring I always knew what to expect. Jess...ica facilitated a collaborative settlement, which helped minimize stress and conflict while still leading to a fair and expected outcome. There were no children involved, and alimony was not awarded, which helped streamline the process further. What truly set this firm apart was their proactive approach—they stayed ahead of every detail and ensured nothing was overlooked. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and compassionate guidance made a challenging process much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for their support and would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal representation.

I found myself needing a divorce lawyer after being served separation paperwork from my spouse. Shelly and her team were able to do an initial consultation within a day, and truly took the time to understand the complex issues surrounding my case. Shelly and her team have worked TIRELESSLY through ...this entire process to ensure that my rights as a father were preserved and protected. I truly owe this law firm my everything, as they have advocated for me and my children as if we were family. Being a father in divorce court is no longer the doom sentence that it once was, and the entire team did everything within their power to make sure my rights were protected. Ultimately, the final outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. I attended countless mediation sessions, hearings, and ultimately a custody trial. Shelly and Jessica both were very effective at communicating and guiding me through this entire process, and I am so grateful to have them by my side for every step of the way. Divorce truly brings out the worst in people, and having absolute faith in your legal team is a must. Shelly and her team delivered time and time again. The only reason I gave 5 stars is because there isn’t 6. Thank you!!

One believes they will be married forever and then after several decades, circumstances can change leading to the end of ‘forever’. In the beginning, my husband and I agreed we would do a quick online divorce without lawyers so we created our own separation agreement. I started to feel uneasy when hi...s amicable behavior changed, he stopped communicating and began wavering on our agreement. I soon realized that I needed legal representation to protect my interests. None of my friends had legal recommendations so I did an internet search. I came upon the website for the Law Office of Shelly M. Ingram and started researching the firm. I was impressed immediately with the backgrounds of all the associates and reviews were spectacular. I was equally impressed when I made my initial inquiry with the Legal Assistant, Laurie Danko. She made the intake process over telephone and email seamless and had quick response time to all my inquiries. Jessica Gillespie, Associate Lawyer was assigned my case. I had never needed a lawyer before so I was really nervous and intimidated prior to our meeting. The law office is in a secured set of rooms in a professional building, giving me sense of safety. The conference room was designed with chic and beautiful features, yet it was warm and inviting. I was put at ease immediately when Jessica arrived. She was down to earth, approachable, and most importantly to me - empathetic. I had no reservations about hiring this firm. My initial separation agreement needed to be revised in a few areas to protect my interests. I had very specific concerns about the wording of this document to ensure that my husband would not find a legal loop hole that would enable him to stop his financial obligations for me in the future. Jessica recommended a specialty law firm that could work in concert with her firm to address these specific items. Revising the agreement was a collaborative process that took a few weeks, which was important for me. She alleviated all my concerns, which made me feel that I was in control throughout this process. When we had our settlement conference at the Court house, Jessica negotiated a settlement that was very agreeable to my husband and me. Thankfully, everything was quite amicable, so much so that both our attorneys commented that they had never had a divorcing couple who were so friendly and agreeable to one another. Ms. Gillespie has a busy caseload, yet she made me feel like I was her only client. She kept me apprised of everything that was happening with my husband’s attorney, the specialty law firm and all aspects with the Court process. I was concerned about this being a financial hardship, but she was very upfront and realistic about my retainer and expected legal fees. My divorce is now final and my concerns about my ex’s financial obligations were resolved as of this week. I even have a balance of my retainer that is being returned! Nobody gets married with the intention of getting divorced. This process could have left me feeling defeated, however, I feel validated and empowered. I am so glad I decided to seek out legal advice. Hiring the Law Office of Shelly M. Ingram was the best decision I could have made.
