Attorney Andy Ingram: Nothing short of AMAZING!!!
Where shall I began... I have hired several attorney's over the years to attempt to get me an early termination of probation to no avail. Back in December, I decided to give it another shot... This time, I researched several attorney's and had consultations with at least 5 of them. Out of those I res...

Andy Joshua Ingram's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andy is an honorable lawyer whose word can be trusted. He is also a competent advocate for the interests of his clients."
"I can't remember the last time I went online to endorse a lawyer, but after working with Andy I felt compelled to do so. Andy represented a mutual client on a violation of probation. Andy accomplished something for the client that few attorneys could or would do. He contacted the probation officer before a violation was submitted, advised the officer that the new arrest was eventually going to be dropped and asked the officer to "delay" the preparation of the violation and warrant for the Judge to sign. Much to my surprise the officer agreed. The new arrest got dropped, and the client was never even arrested or the Judge notified about the new law offense. Great work!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Ingram is an extremely hard working attorney and is not afraid to fight tough battles for his clients."
"Andy is a great attorney. When I was a prosecutor, Andy and I had many cases against one another. He works very hard for his clients in preparing the best defense possible for their case. He is extremely knowledgeable, hard working and dedicated to his cases. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Ingram on several occasions and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. Mr. Ingram possesses the # 1 quality you want in a lawyer. That quality is the ability to communicate. I've seen Mr. Ingram communicate effectively with clients, attorney's and judges to achieve great outcomes for his clients. I've witnessed first hand the difference he has made in the lives of others and I highly recommend Mr. Ingram as your attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had various occasions to witness his representation of clients in court, and I can say that he is a very competent, well prepared, and a zealous advocate for his clients."
"I worked with Andy early in my career at the Public Defender's Office in Marion County and have always admired his ability and work-ethic. Andy is skillful, capable and knowledgable in the courtroom. I happily endorse him as a top-notch Criminal Defense attorney."
"Andy possesses the perfect combination of intellect and empathy. He not only has an incredible ability to understand the stresses and concerns of his clients, but is able to draw on that compassion and his impressive legal acumen to find the best path to a resolution. If I or a family member needed a criminal defense attorney, he is the first one I'd call."
"I worked opposite Mr. Ingram for several years. He is always prepared and he knows the law. Mr. Ingram is an aggressive attorney who fights for his clients, and is a fierce negotiator. He is well-respected by his peers and judges. Practicing opposite Mr. Ingram made me a better attorney. If I ever need a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Ingram will be my first call. I trust him completely and his legal judgment."
"Having observed Andy for going on a decade of legal practice, I can wholeheartedly recommend him. Andy is a first-class litigator, a fierce and highly able trial warrior, and--most important--an utterly dependable, ethical fella."
"Andy was a colleague of mine at the same firm in Ocala. He is very methodical in his approach to the law, and is very well-prepared when arguing in court. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who may need a criminal defense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Ingram and I have worked together as well as on opposing sides, and I have always found him to be professional, competent, experienced and effective at representing his clients. If I had a family member or friend who for some reason I was unable to represent myself, Mr. Ingram would be one of the very first names that came to mind as a referral. In my opinion, his ability and work ethic are absolutely beyond reproach."
"Dedicated and skilled, Andy garners my unequivocal recommendation and endorsement. He manages sizable and complex cases with poise and expertise. I've had the pleasure of going to trial with Andy on a rather complex felony case. He was quick to spot many legal issues that were not immediately apparent. Andy is highly respected among his peers. He's built outstanding relationships with judges, opposing counsel, and colleagues in the local and neighboring communities. He's also an all around likable person, a frequently underestimated quality in the law. Overall, Andy is a superb trial lawyer who I endorse through and through."
"I endorse this lawyer. Andy Ingram is an incredibly skilled criminal defense attorney who is consistently well received by his juries. He obtains favorable results by explaining complicated legal concepts with a common sense approach that juries understand and appreciate. He is well established in the Gainesville and Ocala legal communities and his clients benefit from the professional relationships he has developed over the years."
"I endorse this lawyer. Solid legal advice."
"Andy and I have worked together on matters and I have seen him in the courtroom, I have no reservations in endorsing him."
