When I was first looking to hire an attorney, I made contact with Dunham and Ingram first. They gave me great advice on my phone consultation and encouraged me to shop around and interview several firms and individuals. I went with my gut and the firm that gave me the best feeling and chose to hire Andy Ingram as my attorney. What I soon discovered is that Andy Ingram is amazing. I hired him to represent me in my case and was amazed with his results. Mr. Ingram worked on my case and kept me fully abreast of every development, the strategies for fighting my case and took the time to explain to me what everything meant. He was very mindful of my wallet and made the effort to exercise fiscal responsibility and not just see dollar signs. If you have a criminal case then I would encourage you to seek the guidance and expertise of Mr. Ingram. You will not be sorry that you did, if there is a positive that can come from your situation, he will find it and achieve it.Former Client
