Shelly Maynard Ingram

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.

I retained Shelly Ingram Law to help me work thought my divorce. Shelly and Jessica provided excellent service; They prepared a separation agreement document, negotiated with my ex wife's attorney on my behalf and represented me during the hearing. They did their best to make the process as pain fre...e as it could be and took the time to explain the law in layman's terms to me. I highly recommend them for anyone going through a divorce.

After experiencing a contentious divorce in which I had a number of lawyers, who produced less than stellar results, I was somewhat leery of hiring another divorce attorney. However, faced with needing to affect a change in my son's custody situation in a very short period of time, I had no real cho...ice. After doing some research and receiving a recommendation from another firm I contacted Shelly Ingram. From the initial meeting, Shelly seemed different than the other attorneys' I had worked with before. First, she listened and offered potential options of how to approach the case, laying out both the pros and cons of the approaches, and advising realistically of the chances for success. I also found her office staff to be very helpful throughout my case in explaining things and also helping me learn to use some of the tools they now employ in their practice. Bottomline, Shelly pushed the case through, was able to get an expedited hearing scheduled, and maneuvered my typically very combative ex-husband into settling the matter without even going to court! All in all, Shelly was a rock star, I only wish I had met her years ago and hired her when I was getting divorced originally! I would highly recommend Shelly to anyone who needs an attorney to handle a family law matter.

Divorce is an emotionally charged event. There is no way around it. In my case the process took about two years. And from our initial meeting through the final decision, Shelly Ingram was a consistent and knowledgeable advocate. Ms. Ingram’s assessment of my case and the probability of going to tri...al was “spot on”. Though all attempts to negotiate outside of court were unsuccessful, Shelly and her team prepared me for each step of the process. Looking back I think I needed quite a bit of hand holding. In the midst of my trepidation, Shelly was upfront and realistic about the work necessary to move through court requests, mediation, settlement agreements/negotiations, custody agreements, and ultimately trial. Shelly’s team collaborated with other professional partners to unearth undisclosed information while working with me to create reasonable settlement proposals which were the core of the final settlement. The months of data gathering, calls, zooms, and data uploads were definitely unpleasant. However as the saying goes, “Planning Prevents Poor Performance”. When it was time for trial, the benefits of the planning and preparation were evident. I felt prepared for opposing counsel’s tactics and I knew what to expect each day of trial. In the courtroom, Shelly was prepared, organized, persuasive and passionate about my position. Now that the court has issued the divorce decree, I ultimately feel that I was represented well and I would recommend Shelly Ingram to anyone in need of this sort of representation.

Due to the pandemic and a generally uncooperative spouse, my divorce dragged on over 2 years. Shelly Ingram was with me every step of the way, and in that time-frame I was able to see the full spectrum of skills that Shelly Ingram possesses - whether it's collaborative divorce or going all the way t...o preparing for a contentious trial. We had issues such as property disputes, child custody, etc. and she was very knowledgeable about the law and the nuances of these arrangements. In the end, she was able to reach a settlement which saved me thousands of dollars. She was thorough, readily accessible, and professional throughout the entire process. I am very happy with how things turned out, and so very impressed with how she fixed what, at times, seemed like an impossible situation. On various hearings and other issues, I also worked with her associates Greg Votta and Jessica Gillespie. I would highly recommend them also. The entire team has been wonderful to work with. Divorce is something you hopefully will never have to go through, but if you do this is the office you want to represent you. Thank you to the Law office of Shelly Ingram!
