About Ingrid
Ingrid Alt earned her J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School. She trained in a rigorous academic setting and left equipped for courtroom work and client counseling. The law school shaped her approach to legal analysis and advocacy.
Alt practices at Greenberg, McGuinness & Alt, LLC. Her work is grounded in criminal defense and related litigation across several jurisdictions. She has built a career representing clients in a range of matters that require attention to procedural detail and an understanding of different court systems.
She is admitted to practice in Colorado and Wisconsin. Alt also holds admission to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and she is authorized to appear before the Southern Ute Tribe courts. That combination of state, federal and tribal admissions allows her to handle matters that cross jurisdictional lines.
Her involvement with professional organizations reflects her orientation toward criminal defense practice. Alt is a current member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, and the Colorado Bar Association. She serves on the United States District of Colorado Criminal Justice Act Panel, which assigns counsel for federal criminal defendants who cannot afford private counsel. Participation on the CJA panel places her regularly in federal court proceedings.
Colleagues describe Alt as thorough and pragmatic. She approaches cases by assessing legal issues piece by piece and then building a response that addresses both legal risk and client priorities. She prepares filings and presentations to meet court deadlines and expectations, and she advises clients on the immediate choices they face in criminal matters.
Outside the courtroom, Alt engages with bar activities and continuing legal education offered through the associations she belongs to. These professional settings provide a forum for discussing case law developments, evidence issues and trial practice. They also keep her connected to the wider defense community in Colorado and beyond.
Alt's practice is based at Greenberg, McGuinness & Alt, LLC, where she represents clients in state, federal and tribal criminal matters. She continues to take appointments through the federal CJA panel and maintains active memberships in several criminal defense organizations while practicing at her firm.
