Did a 1 hour consult with Alex for general information. Even though he didn't have all the answers (half of the questions were not his specialty) by the end of the day he followed up with phone and email and got all the info I needed. Got valuable information that will be put to good use in the future.

I am glad it is finally over! Family First Legal group, (Gill, Amanda, Katie, Jenna and Amy)  The entire team was amazing.  Jenna and Katie would always make light of my situation at the time, and there were many. They would get back to me quickly with answers to my questions. They would even get back to me after hours and weekends. Amy is the sweetest, always sparing a few minutes for small talk and always eased into the heavy stuff! They were all ready to jump in at any given moment if one was not available, even Mrs. Peterson. Everyone made me feel like I was the only one that mattered when I was there. There compassion and kindness meant so much at such difficult times! I will always and forever be grateful to Alex Peterson for believing me and in me! Although we prepared for a not so favorable outcome. Alex's preparedness, coupled with his organization skills, and Witt brought us to an outcome far beyond my expectations for me and my children. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Family First Legal Group! Anyone that should retain Family First Legal Groups Services can rest assured that they are in the best possible hands! Thank you all for playing an important role in my and my children's victory. Aleksandra

As difficult as the situation and circumstances were, the entire staff and owners went above and beyond to help my family and me. I was educated, encouraged, and prepared every step of the way. Thank you.

I highly recommend Alex Peterson, and his staff. I'm very grateful to them.

“Simply the best!” “Alex Peterson was referred to us by a close, personal friend who had worked with him professionally and thank God for that! He has been on a journey with our family for almost 3 years now through various hearings, culminating in the recent positive outcome at trial for modification of my husband's parenting plan with his ex wife. He is truly the epitome of what an excellent attorney should be and has become a friend and tremendous asset to our family. Working with him was very easy and comfortable and he always demonstrated sincere compassion and concern for our family; even making time to speak with on us weekends and after hours. We can now move forward with our lives and make the most of the remaining years of our daughters' childhoods. Should we ever need an attorney again in the future we would never look anywhere else. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone we know!

You wont find a better family law firm in Collier County. I had the misfortune of hiring other attorneys that didn't advise me of my rights as a father and was lead down a road with the belief of you take what you get and thrown to the wolves. Since I hired Alex Peterson as my attorney I was educated and found that was far from the case. Alex and his firm provided me with unwavering representation and sound facts to move forward with a case to repair the damage that was caused in my initial parenting plan. This is a huge undertaking to modify but Alex and Family First followed thru and applied their expertise and justice was served in the end. All I can say is that the gratitude that I have for him and his staff is unmeasurable. Truly a world class firm from Jenna's recommendations and advising on the case statutes and Amy's knowledge of finances. I would never hire another firm besides Family First. Go with the best forget the rest! 2019

Going through the process of a divorce is an anxiety producing experience to say the least. The people at Family First legal, John Gilhart, Jenna Ritter and Amy Vaughan listened and made the experience manageable. It was resolved quickly and fairly and they worked with me to avoid a prolonged and expensive outcome. That said, I hope & pray I never have to do it again.

I do not have the words that will sufficiently express my gratitude for Family First Legal Group. The heart behind this firm truly is to keep Family First, specifically the best care and future for children. From the first meeting throughout my entire divorce process, Family First provided a very professional and thoughtful experience, treated me with care, encouraged me along the way, and provided superior representation. I worked primarily with Attorney Alex Peterson, Paralegal Jenna Ritter, and Admin Amanda Spartz. They were on top of things and had great communication throughout the process. I appreciated that there was a mutual respect that I was the expert on my circumstance up to that point, and they were the experts in the legal process. Because they were willing to listen to my knowledge of the situation, educated me on the process, answered any questions I had, and made a plan of action with me, I felt confident and empowered in the process, and continue to now that everything is finalized. Though my divorce is very personal and I don’t feel comfortable sharing details on a review, I can tell you with confidence that I am EXTREMELY happy with the way my case was handled as well as the outcome.

There are few situations in our lives more traumatic than a divorce with children. The entire team at Family First Legal Group was able to effectively minimize the impact on myself and my children. I have had more interaction with law firms than I’d like since my divorce began in 2012, finalized in August of 2013, and then re-opened for modification August 2017. From my initial phone consult with intake specialist Gill,”Jill,” who didn’t sugarcoat-didn’t “sell” me but told me facts about my case and what I stood to lose should I continue with the firm I had in place. Her realistic and no-nonsense approach gave me the strength I needed to do what needed to be done. My first in person contact with their office brought me to Amanda who immediately greeted me by name and a reassuring smile that immediately set me at ease was exactly what I needed at the right time. I was met promptly by my attorney Sara Glover and Mr. Peterson who’s family first, compassionate approach to family law was absolutely mind blowing! I will forever be grateful for the entire team at Family First Legal for empowering me and guiding me to the right result-a favorable result for myself and my children. You get what you pay for and maintaining your sanity, strength and family structure is worth every single penny and more. Good isn’t cheap and cheap isn’t good-don’t make the mistake of going cheap where it counts! These people genuinely care and I will never refer anyone else to those who find themselves in a family law battle. Thank you ALL!

Alex Gillian And the staff were great to work with... Not about the money they make - about finding the right solution first!

Could not be happier with the staff that was appointed to my case! From Ross and Doresmi answering all my questions to dealing with Amy about my finances and also Katie filing all my documents in a timely fashion! They took my process and made it as easy as possible!

I would totally recommend Family First Legal Group. They are amazing and if they can't help you they can direct you to who can.
