Who We Are
Law Office of Shelly Maynard Ingram was founded in 2012 by Shelly M. Ingram, an attorney who has devoted her legal career to family law matters both in and out of the courtroom.

We have handled thousands of cases across Maryland, and that depth of experience informs how we prepare, how we advise, and how we advocate. Whether your case involves straightforward paperwork or high-conflict litigation, we bring the same level of preparation and attention to every file.

- Clear communication.
