My experience with Family first has been the best it could be for the circumstances. Attorney DeSalvo is professional, kind, and gets work done in a quick and timely manner. He helped me and my boys get the relocation we needed right away which helped my kids settle into their new life and routine that they needed to thrive. He is very well organized and to the point. Megan his paralegal was very responsive with any nonlegal questions and scheduling appointments. Amanda was extremely helpful in the discovery process. Thank you all so much for all of your help.

I had a wonderful experience with Family First Legal Group, They guided me through the entire process with dignity and professionalism. My sincere thanks to Toni Boettcher, Amanda Spartz and especially Megan Sanford for her kindness and who was always available for my questions.

They are the best team I have ever worked with hands-down. I would highly recommend them.

Alex, Megan, Jason, Katie and the entire Family First Legal Group - thank you from the bottom of my heart! Family court can be scary/emotional/complicated, and your expertise coupled with your thoughtful and caring approach made all the difference in the world. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I truly value the Ethical Business practices and Professional Honestly that encompasses the family first legal group. Each employee that I was in contact with was Detailed Oriented and Rock Solid, no matter how complicated the issues of my 8 yearlong case was, starting with Alex Peterson my attorney, Megan Sanford my paralegal, discovery director Amanda Spartz, Katie Peterson billing, Jason Fraser Associate attorney and Megan Ofner attorney. Their team effort and commitment to excellence is unmatched by far! Its important to note that I was an out of state Client and never felt as if there was 3000 miles between their door and mind. If you want a difference made in your case, Family First is the only Place! I believe Law school will teach you some of the skills one needs to be an effective attorney, but they can't teach character. Alex Peterson naturally possess certain qualities that make him above the rest. He is a phenomenal linguist in every sense of the word mixed with Responsiveness just to name two. The staff is an amazing reflection of the owner. I want to take a moment (or two) to really highlight Megan Sanford. She is Unquestionably; Highly organized, possesses Impeccable communication skills both written and verbal, her research and writing is both Excellent and Sharp, she pays close attention to detail, is analytical, logical, does not bend under pressure yet thrives, never missed a deadline, Pleasantly Persistent and Carried a professional, compassionate and attentive demure no matter what our case brought across her desk! Some people have a stronger ability to make good judgments because of their other personality traits, Megan Sanford is one of those people. She was able to identify and evaluate key concepts and facts about my deeply complicated 8 year case with Ingenuity. Because of this ability, Megan tackled issues and problems that I brought to her with grace and saved me time and money. A Great and Effective paralegal is one who is committed to the law firm, the attorney, and the client instead of being just bring committed to the job. Megan Sanford Is that Great and Effective paralegal, consistently going beyond the “job description” to make things happen while Always applying good judgment to know when to involve the attorney. When you break down all the above definitions and apply them, Megan Sanford is truly an important asset to the Family First Legal Group and any Client lucky enough to get her. Thank you!

Bringing Molly home was a long , arduous and pain stacking journey. When Alex entered our team, 7 years of getting nowhere with many different attorneys our situation started to change immediately. When our family found Alex , our sweet 6 year old had already been taken off her school bus in New York and sent to Florida with out even a call to the family from the school or authorities. However, all along, deep in my heart, I always felt the safety of my granddaughter knowing that Alex and Megan Stanford are there to protect my daughter legally. All along, there was a safety net that moved side by side to her legal case. The twists and turns and unpredictable during this litigation was simply unfathomable, yet Alex and Megan willingly never missed a beat and worked over time to keep things right side up. The whole family felt safe knowing that the Family First team was working through the toughest moments of our life as we did not see our sweet granddaughter or hear her voice for over 14 months and than add covid to the mix. Alex, your dedication, your diligence, your compassion was heart felt by all. Today, with confidence and gratitude we say that you RESTORED and only your team RESTORED our life back to living to its full capacity. May God continues to over reach in all your legal cases as He has done for our case. With much gratitude we shout” you are our hero”. God bless your business and forever forged forth for you in each case. May you continue to right the wrongs.

If you are reading this review things probably aren't going your way. Same for me over a year ago. I though my divorce would just need some paperwork filed with the courts and I would be good to go. So I looked into a small firm to handle it but went with Family First because they where so professional and on top of things from the very beginning. Little did I know I needed a team of caring professionals to help me. My case lasted over a year and had many ups and downs. I needed all the help I could get. If you have a child you don't want to be going into a divorce without a team to help you. I worked with many attorneys, paralegals and staff and was happy with everyone and very pleased with what I was able to accomplish with them. John Gilhart, Megan Sanford, Amanda Spartz, Jenna Ritter, Terry DeSalvo, Jr. Thank you all!

Family First Legal Group is a great firm. Highly responsive and professional. Attorney Alex Peterson and entire staff function as one team with your best interest is always in the fore front. Guiding, caring, knowledgable and timely is what I experienced. Jenna, Gil, Leslie and truly all the staff play a role in conveying confidence, support and compassion. All the right people with the right attitude for this sensitive job work here ! Thank you FFLG

Mr. DeSalvo has done a great job for me in regard to my case thus far, and I can assure you that he will continue to be my attorney as long as I need him........and knowing my ex, I’m going to need Terry for a long time to come!!! Mr. DeSalvo and his team(Megan, Amanda, who are obviously vitally essential to Terry’s progress) actually accomplished more results for me in under a year than all 3 of my past attorneys did in just over 6 years. And contrary to what one may think, not all attorneys you hire and pay are automatically going to do a great job.......but Terry was calm, detail oriented and most importantly Terry cares about his clients/their situation/getting them the results they seek and/or deserve. Terry DeSalvo is without a doubt the best decision I ever made with respect to my case/finally getting the courts in gear and actually getting them/the courts to help facilitate time with my beautiful little girl. Terry is hands down the best attorney I’ve worked with, to this point........and I’m just going to throw out a working hypothesis/venture a guess that I could possibly be one of Terry’s favorite clients!!! ;-) Thanks again, Terry........ ~Kirk~

Worked with Terry DeSalvo Jr & Angela on a prenuptial agreement. Very easy to deal with place with fair pricing. Overall a great experience from start to finish! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Family first were very helpful in my divorce Terry and Jenna both were extremely helpful and were very patient with helping me thru the divorce process I would highly recommend Family First
