bad review

This person is a disgrace to the lawyers of Abilene , when we went to court he slept through some things while the DA was jumping up and down acting like a clown and making the judge smile the intire time while baggering the witness . Ingalsby never opposed to anything while sitting there like he w...as in a stupper and come to find out he said he had given the DA a very important paper that would have clear the case off the chart .This was a one sided court. If you want to be sent to prison this is the man to hire . i would run if you are smart . Lynn needs to retire ,he is tired and sleeps through court. good luck

Beat all the odds!!

Mr Ingalsbe is amazing!! He help my fiancée get a bond on his very first hearing( which rarely happens)! He is straight forward and he didn’t beat around the bush with us! He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and worth EVERY penny! Mr. Ingalsbe along with God made the impossible happen. We h...ave court for his MTR soon and we are so thankful to have Mr. Ingalsbe on our team! We feel extremely confident as he has given my fiancée the chance to show the judge he has learned from his past mistakes and is truly ready to turn his life around! If your in a sticky situation and need someone who will fight for you to the end this is your guy! Thank you again for everything and God bless you sir.

Worst attorney ever!!!

He took all my money upfront and told me he would handle my cases. He didn't do anything for me and just quit right before my first court date. He just stole my money without doing anything he promised. He is the worst attorney ever! He seems to be working with the prosecution to hurt you and not ...help you!

Could have done better

I hired Mr. Ingalsbe years ago for civilian criminal case. He seemed he had a lot of experience in the court from the different positions he has held as a Judge, prosecution attorney, and defense attorney. I paid a pretty penny for his services and thought I would get great representation. This was m...y first experience with an attorney, especially in a criminal case. I was expecting to have a lot of contact between us in preparing for a trial. I got little. I maybe had 2 visits with him over 2 years. I had about a 5-10 minute session with him the day of the trial to have me prepped for the trial. I was well unprepared. All in all I was found guilty and received probation. After all this was done, I think that was his main course of action in my case. My military commander even had a dislike for him that I found out afterwards.

straightforward with nerves of steel

Mr. Ingalsbe represented me in a criminal case. I'm not sure why anyone would give him a poor review. He's probably one of the best attorneys in town. His personality is more like rye toast, meat and potatoes. If you're looking for someone with a sweet reassuring demeanor he may not be the one for yo...u. He knows the law as well or better than anyone in town. I believe he's been a judge and maybe a DA so he understands the system a defendant is facing. The DA and judges seem to respect him. He does what he says he will do. And, he doesn't have the type of ego that can be risky for clients. He doesn't try to showboat or one up someone. But he won't back down from a fight. He is very level headed with nerves of steel. I bet he eats nails for breakfast. I want to say that he reminds me of John Wayne but he's much tougher. Maybe more like Jeff Bridges' version of Rooster Cogburn but without the alcohol.
