I highly recommend this law firm. Very personable and compassionate. Thank you for everything Brittany Underwood and Travis Strobach! You both are amazing!

The Premier Law Firm in Town If you're seeking a dynamic law firm to navigate your divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend Terry DeSalvo, Kristin Garza, and Annette Bennett at Family First Legal Group. They are truly the best in the business. I faced a complex divorce that lasted over two years. My first attorney lacked the necessary experience for my case, and my second was nearing retirement and often unavailable or on vacation. As a result, I found myself approaching a trial date without adequate representation. Fortunately, Terry stepped in at a critical moment. Most attorneys would shy away from taking on a case with such little preparation time, but Terry confidently and quickly assessed my situation and provided a resolution in just one hour. Kristin Garza and Annette Bennett were very efficient in communicating with me daily and processing the mounds of paperwork opposing counsel requested. Terry made a strategic offer during our trial and ultimately the settlement Terry anticipated in our initial meeting was almost to the penny of what we received. He tirelessly advocated for me, standing firm against the opposing attorney, and we achieved a significant victory. My case was completed within a few months rather than the years I wasted with other attorneys. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism of the whole team. The firm is also very conscientious of their fees; they suggest ways to save you time and money in the process rather than billing frivolously. Additionally, they send interim statements ensuring you are informed of the costs all along the way, other firms do not do this. Moreover, their offices stand out from typical law firms. They prioritize families, always focusing on the most important individuals involved: the children. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel supported and understood throughout the process. I highly recommend this firm for your legal representation. You’ll be in excellent hands.

Thank you all very much. You made this unexpected life changing event as smooth as possible. I am truly grateful for Megan and Brittany.

Had the pleasure to work with Jacob Barrett and Tonia Wilson. Their communication and professionalism made the process super smooth and easy to handle. I would recommend them to anyone.

I had a horrible experience when I hired this firm as my divorce attorney. Mostly because they’re too expensive. Peterson and Gilhart are good at articulating and reassuring but at the end of the day I got no results. I paid them $5000 as a retainer. Somehow writing up one single draft dissolution of marriage and speaking on the phone for a total of maybe 4 hours cost me $4,750 dollars. The remaining $250 was the exact cost (wow, that’s convenient) of giving tips on what to change on the opposing counsels dissolution or marriage draft. We never met with opposing counsel (which they told me would probably be another $5,000) and we never went to court which they projected at possibly another $20,000). My ex wife didn’t even want to go to court, it was mostly amicable. This case was simple and should’ve cost maybe $2.5k (per another firm I asked). So in the end, I paid them $5,000 to write up a single draft and talk to me on the phone for ~4 hours. They told me I couldn’t afford the rest of the process so we cut ties and my wife got the house, I pay child support, I have to drive 2 hours to pick up my son every week. They may be good if you’re rich but this firm is not for the average man.

I consulted with Family First Legal Group due to the mother of my daughter not allowing me to see her on a regular basis and threatening to leave the state with her. Ultimately, I ended up retaining Terry DeSalvo and I would do it again without hesitation! He listened, cared, and gave great advice. It’s clear that Terry cares about clients and their families and will provide excellent guidance- even if that means he bills less time- which speaks volumes about an attorney in any industry. His paralegal Michelle Wilson, and discovery coordinator Annette Bennett are both extremely attentive and personable. I am grateful to have had them assisting me along the way. I could not be happier with my choice to hire Terry DeSalvo and to have everything resolved in 90 days is amazing! Michelle Wilson, Annette Bennett and the rest of Terry‘s team are fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend Family First Legal Group should you find yourself in a situation where you need family law assistance!

You can feel safe and confident with this company, it feels like your real family. Thank you for everything, Family First Legal Group.

Whoever you are: GET A PRENUP AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED. Everyone should have one. Do it while you are being reasonable and rational - and in LOVE of course! That way you won't feel like you are being taken advantage of if everything goes pear-shaped later. Alex Peterson did an excellent job of protecting my interests and answering all my questions. And yes... I'm still very, very, very Happily Married.

Terry Desalvo, Je. And Tonia Wilson was extremely dedicated to closing my case and getting everything I needed. Thank you making me feel at ease through such a troubling time .

No words can express my satisfaction with Family Fist Legal Group, specifically lawyer Travis Strobach and paralegal Tonia Wilson. I came to them last minute with my case , only a few days until hearing, other firms said no due to the short preparation time but Travis took my case ,always willing to communicate with me and prepare de case. We won the case and thanks to them I now enjoy time with my son. Thanks Travis and Tonia from “ Family First Legal Group”
