Brandon Legal Group Appreciates The Incredible Feedback From Our Family Law Clients

Ingrid was highly unprofessional from start to end. She averaged being 50 minutes late to every single appointment we had, as well as 30 minutes to an hour late for all appointments she had with collateral people on our case. There was no respect for anyone's time but her own. She was not thorough in her work what-so-ever. On legal documents she managed to consistently get important facts wrong (children's birthdays, spelling of their name, etc.) and turned these documents/recommendations in without allowing key parties any reasonable time to review (4am to our lawyers the morning we have mediation at 9a). She made wildly inappropriate comments during every single meeting with me, "I don't understand how you two even got together in the first place," "Nice to see you not be emotional this time" (nice touch when working with a postpartum mother), etc. You are not allowed to ask for clarification or address things not being done (not responding to a time sensitive email in months on 2 separate occasions) because she will become highly defensive and verbally attack you. She will also bill for things that are inappropriate towards the end of your case (during mediation she was repeatedly asked to leave by my counsel and opposing counsel and was not allowed to join the meeting due to her inappropriate behavior. She lied and stated that since she paid for our mediation she could stay (she did not pay for anything). Then we got billed for 8 hours of her time). The sheer amount of disorganization, chaos, and unprofessionalism she brings to the table is remarkable. I think it's relevant to note that at the end of our case the judge agreed to disqualify her report from any decision making.

I can not say enough good things about Ingrid and BLG. I worked with her and Luke for over 4 years. A lot of scary times, and they were always there. Ingrid was always extremely responsive and her team is very organized. Her and Luke make a really good team. She is fierce and also extremely caring. I would recommend her to anyone that asks.

I had an excellent experience working with Brandon Legal Group on a complex family law matter in the Tampa / Brandon area. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and highly professional divorce and family law attorney, I strongly recommend this firm.
Luke Mattson and Ingrid Hooglander are extremely experienced, strategic, and confident attorneys who truly know how to navigate difficult litigation. Their courtroom preparation, legal knowledge, and ability to handle challenging situations give clients a real sense of protection and confidence.
Their support team is also exceptional. Meredith was always responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. Her guidance and attention to detail made navigating the legal system much easier during a very stressful time.
Having strong legal counsel in court truly feels like having a bulletproof jacket, and Brandon Legal Group provides exactly that level of preparation, advocacy, and professionalism.

My experience with this firm was so bad I’m not even putting the specifics on here for fear of retaliation- case evidence has been submitted to the Florida Bar board for review, investigation, and action. We’ll let them decide if there were “illegal or unethical” behaviors exhibited. Since this is their page - they can choose to leave up or remove. Do your research consumers seeking legal help!

It has truly been a pleasure working with Brandon Legal Group. Ingrid and Luke are a dynamic team. Also all the staff is so supportive and kind. I had a very challenging case and they were on top of everything. I always felt treated with care and respect. I truly felt supported there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent representation while treated as family by this firm. Can't thank them enough.

Having an unplanned divorce can be very hard. Luke and Ingrid did an exceptional job getting me through the process. Even after numerous unexpected issues happened during the process, their combined knowledge and experiences got us through it. My children and I are very grateful to have had them represent us. Their service for our family is simply priceless. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a family law attorney.

I cannot thank the Brandon Legal Group enough for all their efforts. Ingrid was absolutely amazing and walked me thought the process in a no nonsense way to help me divorce my "wasband" the fastest way possible. Two days after mediation I got the call at 3:25pm, I was officially free. I hope no one has to go through a divorce but if you do BLG will help make the best of it for you!
