I chose Joe to handle a very important legal issue for me and he did an excellent job. He was always responsive when I had questions about the progress of the case and he was very helpful when it came to describing the process. He won a case for me that literally changed my life and I can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend Joe. He is an amazing attorney and a super nice guy.

Not your average Joe!
Joe took initiative and resolved charges. He was direct and upfront through the legal process. The fee initially quoted was never changed. He was persistent and took care of our case in an expedient manner. He returned all phone calls and emails promptly, typically within an hour. I would highly recommend Joe!

Great Lawyer
If you find yourself in need of an attorney, I would recommend the Ingram Law firm. Mr. Ingram is not only an excellent lawyer, but a great counselor. I don't want to get into the particulars of my case, but lets just say it had the potential to become life changing. Mr. Ingram took the time to explain the process, as well as, counsel me on the upcoming events. Yes, Mr. Ingram resolved the case in a manner that was suitable for me to continue the life style I am accustom to. If you're in need, this is your guy, knowledgeable and professional. The Ingram Law firm is now on speed dial in my contacts, not just a lawyer, but a friend.

Ingram Law
Mr.Ingram assisted me with my divorce just recently and the first day I met him it felt as if I had known him for years. He was so caring and understanding. It wasn't one day that I called him and he didn't answer. He helped me understand everything that was going on with my case and got things done in a timely manner. He wasn't only my lawyer, he felt more of a friend to me. If you're looking for a great attorney, please don't look any further than Joseph Ingram . Thanks Mr.Ingram!

Tough Criminal Lawyer - Birmingham, AL
Thank you Mr. Ingram! Joseph A. Ingram helped me in my criminal case involving DUI. He fought for me when no one else would take the time to really listen to what I had to say and believe me..... He was able to get youthful offender status for my case so that I do not have a record. I can’t say enough about how hard this man works for his clients and how he takes a personal interest in all of his cases. I will use INGRAM LAW again if I need help again in the future and highly recommend him to defend you in a criminal case.

Great Divorce Attorney
Joseph Ingram with INGRAM LAW provided quality representation in my divorce case recently. He, unlike a lot of lawyers, did not try to “rob” me. His services were a value for my money. I was always able to get in touch with Joe or someone in his office. He promptly returned my phone calls, e-mails and messages. He even took my calls after hours. I was surprised when he answered the phone after 5:00! I was very pleased with his services in my divorce case and would highly recommend INGRAM LAW LLC to anyone else looking for a law firm that actually does work for, fight and care about their clients.
