Meet Mat Ingle As the sole attorney and founder of Ingle Law Firm, he brings a unique blend of military discipline, law enforcement insight, and academic excellence to every case. A Marine Corps veteran, former police officer, and law school graduate, he applies hands-on experience and sharp legal acumen to craft strategies tailored precisely to your needs. Driven by an unwavering passion for justice and a commitment to personal, client-focused service, he will be your main point of contact and your advocate from start to finish. Mat is a resident of Saline County, and a husband to his beautiful wife Jessi, and a father to five children. He is also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. After his enlistment, he moved back to Arkansas where he worked as a police officer for almost nine years. During Mat’s law enforcement career, he become a Field Training Officer. With his background as a police officer, Mat has been trained in criminal investigations, traffic enforcement, and DWI enforcement. As a Field Training Officer, he trained new police officers in these areas as well. Mat’s years in law enforcement have provided him with training and experiences that allow him to scrutinize the case against our clients from a unique point of view, ensuring that the rights of our DWI and criminal defense clients are protected. In addition to Mat’s experiences in the criminal justice system, he has spent the last 12 years advocating for equal parenting rights. Mat has been personally involved in the family law system. After fighting uphill battles and seeing firsthand the unfairness faced by noncustodial parents and family courts, Matt reached out to Arkansas lawmakers to try to change the states custody laws. After countless hours of research, lobbying, and testimony at the capital, Mat was able to help change the Arkansas custody laws to a joint- custody law. This new law created a presumption that joint custody is in the best interest of children in our state. At that time, Arkansas was only the second state in the U.S to be able to accomplish this. Mat’s personal experiences with family law courts, and attorneys in Arkansas not only motivated him to go to law school, but drives his passion for helping clients with their own family law issues.
