Rude, arrogant, his way or no way.

I had a very negative experience with him From our initial interaction, I found him to be rude and condescending. He displayed a lack of respect that made me uncomfortable throughout our time together. It seemed that he was unwilling to consider my input or ideas, only wanting to pursue what he ...thought was best. This dismissive attitude was frustrating and unprofessional. I felt like my concerns were not taken seriously, and his overall demeanor was unhelpful and discouraging. I would not recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance. In my opinion, he needs to reevaluate his approach to client relations. I believe it’s important for attorneys to treat their clients with respect and professionalism, and unfortunately, that was not my experience with him.

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 expla...in 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!

Mr. Ingram has helped me with multiple cases. He is a top notch lawyer and he is very knowledgeable. Whenever there is a new development in the case, Mr. Ingram is on top of it. He has always been very transparent and explains very complicated matters simply for me to understand. I appreciate all of ...his hard work. I highly recommend Mr. Ingram if you are looking for the best possible outcome.

Divorce Case

Mr. Ingram assisted me with a divorce case last year. He was very courteous and always returned my telephone calls. Mr. Ingram took time to answer all of my questions and was respectful of my situation. He kept me aware of my case throughout the matter and resolved the case to my advantage, ...I can not thank him enough for the service he provided me.
