"If you have the unfortunate circumstance of having to divorce, or go through any other legal family action, the most critical decision you can make is choosing the right legal representation---Shelly and her team did not disappoint. Shelly was always transparent about what I should expect given my case and assured me that she would work hard to limit any losses. I appreciated that she never tried to sugar coat anything; rather, she sought to educate me on complex concepts and manage my expectations. Shelly, Shannon, and Lauren helped keep me organized with administrative details (and there were many!) and were very discreet about the personal details that I shared with them. What I value the most is that Shelly acknowledged how emotionally draining this process is, inquired about how I was doing throughout the entire process, and refocused my energy and attention to what needed to be done. I benefitted greatly from Shelly’s knowledge, experience, and strategic planning and I could not have asked for a more favorable outcome. Thank you Shelly, Shannon, and Laurie!"

"I reached out to Shelly Ingram’s firm on behalf of my husband, during an incredibly stressful and complex custody case involving his young son. From day one, we were met with empathy, professionalism, and a team that truly cared—not just about the legal outcome, but about our family’s well-being. Jessica Gillespie was our primary point of contact, and she was absolutely incredible—responsive, clear, and deeply committed to helping us navigate a difficult situation with strength and dignity. She walked us through each step, kept us grounded in facts, and fought for what was fair. And we can’t say enough about Shelly Ingram herself. Even in the moments we didn’t interact with her directly, we always felt her presence behind the scenes—her leadership, guidance, and expertise were woven into every aspect of our case. When we did connect with her, she was sharp, warm, and empowering. It was clear we had a powerhouse in our corner. Thanks to their work, my husband now has a custody arrangement that allows him to be consistently present in his son’s life—something that’s transformed our entire family in the best way. We are forever grateful to Shelly, Jessica, and their entire team. If you’re looking for skilled advocates who combine deep legal knowledge with genuine heart, this is the firm you want standing beside you."

"Working with Jessica S. Gillespie and her exceptional team during my divorce was an incredibly positive experience during an otherwise difficult time. From the very beginning, I felt fully informed and supported. They communicated clearly at every step, ensuring I always knew what to expect. Jessica facilitated a collaborative settlement, which helped minimize stress and conflict while still leading to a fair and expected outcome. There were no children involved, and alimony was not awarded, which helped streamline the process further. What truly set this firm apart was their proactive approach—they stayed ahead of every detail and ensured nothing was overlooked. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and compassionate guidance made a challenging process much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for their support and would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal representation."
