I would like to thank attorney Ross Schulman and his team for making this process so quick and less stressful, especially for someone who has never had to go through a legal situation before. From the moment you walk in on the first day until they last court date and even beyond, every one is so open to helping you and genuinely care about what is best for you. Everyone has been very kind, patient, understanding, and attentive. I honestly recommend Family First to anyone that has to go though these tough legal family matters.

Best in town!

I have nothing but great things to say about this firm. They are amazing at everything they do. Very detail oriented and compassionate about their work. I highly recommend them! Mr. Peterson has an amazing team and I am forever grateful for them all. Jenna Ritter, his Paralegal, goes over and beyond her title and was a pleasure to work with. She did an amazing job at moving the case along so smoothly and efficiently and is very easy to talk to. She helped me mentally and legally get through a very difficult case and everything turned out in the right favor of the case. I am forever grateful for her work and mr. Petersons. They went up against very tough/pricey lawyers as well and came out on top of them all. The whole firm is very knowledgeable and are working to better others lives, the right way. Going that extra mile and providing an amazing photographer for my daughters special day of her step parent adoption was the cherry on the cake. They are so thoughtful

I can not say enough for what Alex and his team has done for me and my family. After going through a divorce without a lawyer, hindsight very bad idea, I hired Family First to help me with a remediation of my parenting plan. Needless to say they were able to help me come to a much better arrangement with my time sharing and child support requirements.

I also used Alex and his team to adopt my wives daughters. Family First made the process so effortless on my end, it allowed us to fully enjoy becoming the complete family that the girls deserve.

I would not even consider going anywhere else to help with my legal family needs.

Alex Peterson and his team did a very professional job for me at a difficult time. The strength of this firm, is their broader than simply solid legal support. Jenna Ritter and Katie Lang have done a commendable job keeping clients informed and always had a pleasant attitude.

I cannot express enough my gratitude for Alex and his entire staff! They are compassionate and always make you feel comfortable and supported while going through a difficult situation!! Alex is honest, caring and a true family man who goes above and beyond for his clients! My case should have been short and uncomplicated, but ended up in mediation and finally court to bring it to a close. Alex never wavered in his commitment and support. I would not hesitate to recommend Family First to any friends or family!!

I am extremely pleased with how thorough the firm was in handling my case! John Gilhart and Alison Henley were very professional. I would work with the firm again if ever needed and also recommend Family Firsts services to others. Thank you for your help.

Alex did a great job representing me and I so appreciate his expertise, honesty, guidance and compassion throughout the entire process. His team was wonderful in keeping me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend.

Alex and his team are truly amazing - Family First is an understatement. The entire staff always asked how the kids were doing throughout the divorce process. They are professional, caring and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Alex and his team!! They truly care about their clients! Thank you!

Alex and his wonderful staff helped me not only make it through this horrible experience, they were kind and loving and helped restore my confidence. My ex-husband told me many times he would bury me, but he was up against Alex Peterson...and we were able to resolve things fairly peacefully. I will always use Alex and his crew for any legal work, and recommend him to anyone needing assistance with a divorce. What a blessing they were to me!

I had a handful of issues, nobody seemed very organized and did not make me feel comfortable about what was going on because nobody kept me up to date, I had to reach out to them multiple times. I dealt with a handful of staff because the people orginally on my case were no longer there, therefore it was as if nobody had caught up from the last person or latest information.

I highly recommend Alex Peterson and his staff. Alex was wonderful to work with in an immensely difficult time. His professionalism and passion for what he does was a gift to me, and gave me reassurance and confidence in the battle I was facing. Alex truly cared about my children and I, and worked very hard for a favorable result, which we accomplished.
Diane's hard work was invaluable in my case, and I appreciated her attention to detail, her consummate professionalism, and her kindness and sincere concern for my family.
You will find a highly competent, professional group with Alex and his staff. Even more importantly, they see the work they do as a service to their clients and their families, and show genuine concern and care for those they represent.

Alex and his team went above and beyond to see my case through to the end, which resulted in a favorable decision for me. I would highly recommend Family First Legal Group!

Can't thank Family First Legal Group enough! After consulting several firms, then through a recommendation from my corporate attorney, I truly found the right firm. After over 2 years of battling a highly complex divorce, mediation that couldn't be resolved, finally trial. Alex prevailed over apposing counsel and a favorable decision was decided by the court. Alex, Katie, Jenna, Amy and to the rest of the team thank you for your compassion and professionalism when going through such an emotional event. i would highly recommend Family first Legal Group.

Thank you Attorney Presley, you worked so hard for my divorce case and you cared about me as a woman more than a client. I truly appreciate it. Thank you!

I highly recommend investing the time and money for an initial consult with Alex Peterson!

If you find yourself reading this review, I expect you might be in a situation that I wish upon no one. I offer the following comments and advice from one parent to another. From one patron to another.

Throughout the course of my paternity action, which is still ongoing; I have interviewed and consulted with many lawyers and psychologists. I have spent an incredible amount of time and money interviewing individuals, to identify who I would trust with the unequivocally, most important battle of my life. I was forced to ponder the following: The fate of my relationship with my daughter, to solidify my right to protect her, to lead her, and to be a parent is to be entrusted to another individual?

Where is the guidebook on making that decision? As I typed this question with rhetorical intent, I remembered there actually is a great resource that Alex has prepared and provides free on his website. “The Florida’s Parent Divorce Handbook”. Admittedly, I did not take advantage of this earlier on, but I encourage and advise any person viewing this, to invest the time reading this resource.

My experience with Attorney Peterson? Exceptional, but I do say “poor, poor Alex.” I was a tough client. Alex endured every emotional question, response, and criticism that I could throw his way. He did so with dignity and compassion throughout his representation. He continues to have a positive impact on my case and remains one of my most trusted resources in my battle.

Alex is a prime example of “The True Gentleman” as described by John Walter Wayland. He is an asset you want in your corner, fighting for your family, and impacting generations to come.

While I hope that my daughter never learns of the battle her parents endured, if she were to ever ask me. “Daddy, who is Alex Peterson?” My answer would be. “Honey, Alex is a friend of our family."

Most likely followed by "Please don't forget to mind your manners, it's Mr. Peterson to you..... Way to set the hook! Great job, I''ll get the net!"

Was it worth my investment? Absolutely! It's the "little things" that are priceless. The "rights" to be there for the little things are worth every penny.

I highly recommend Alex, Jenna, and his team for any family related legal needs. Their compassion, commitment, and superior knowledge became apparent during our very first meeting. During the course of our legal needs, Alex always put the best interest of the children first, which helped our family immensely. I can only say wonderful things about this amazing legal team!

Attorney Alex Peterson of Family First Legal Group came highly recommended and did not disappoint.
Our complicated case involved visitation with biological family members of our adopted daughter across state lines. Attorney Peterson listened to us intently and with compassion. We were impressed with this and his intelligence, honesty with us, professionalism, and dedication to the interests of children and their families. There was no comparison between our legal council in Florida and what we received in New York.
Attorney Peterson is supported by his professional and efficient staff, including but not limited to paralegals Amanda and Angela. Communication between Attorney Peterson, his staff, and us was excellent, swift, and with great attention to detail.
The outcome was far better than what we had expected, yet positive for all involved, most importantly our daughter. We would definitely use Attorney Peterson again if needed, and highly recommend him for any family law matters.

Randy and Sarah

This place over charged me and added no value to my situation, I went in for a consultation and was charged an unreasonable amount of money. I heard great things about this law firm so I decided to give it a try only to be disappointed. Many other law firms have free consultations, and will give you a better out look of your situation without changing you hundreds of dollars just to learn about your situation. Family First Legal Group will overcharge you for everything. Look at other legal groups before going here, unless you are made of money. They will take your money and not tell you what you are paying for. I had to request an invoice several times and the whole experience showed how they fail to communicate internally with each other about their clients.

Hats off to Jenna for making the effort, despite being out of the office to email my final judgement on Christmas Eve.

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.

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

First class operation led by my man Alex. He not only will work hard and listen to all your crazy thoughts, but may tell you about interesting types of music he is into! The staff is very friendly and supportive: Jenna, Katie L., and others.. (not great with names!) I have worked with several other lawyers in this field and they are the best by far!! Alex, hope all new cases are easier!!

Alex and staff are amazing and responsive. Obviously this isn't the most fun experience to go through but Alex, Jenna and other staff members definitely made it easier and as pleasant as possible. Highly recommend this firm!

Outstanding and Professional firm that puts the interests of the children first. They treated our family not as clients but part of their family also. They are experts in the field. Highly recommend Family First Legal Group to anyone. They have true compassion. Thank you , Alex , Gillianne, Katie P. and Amanda.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. You have an awesome team, you worked really hard to get what it was right for my kids and me. I appreciate all of you, Mr.Peterson, Mrs. Peterson, Amy, Doris, Jenna, Katie, Amanda, and everybody that works at the firm that help.....THANK YOU!!!

Thank you
Liz Puebla

I have known Alex, Katie, and staff on a professional level for many years. They conduct their business with the utmost skill, care, and professionalism . Their attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family if ever there were a need for family law services. Keep up the good work Family First!

Family First is a professional law firm that helped me tremendously as I was working through my divorce. Based on the help of my lawyer, John Gilhart, my paralegal, Jenna, and all of the the support staff available in the office - Amanda, Amy, Jill, and Katie, I was able to get the help I needed to get the divorce finalized. John was an excellent resource as well as personal counselor walking me through every step. The office staff was amazing in staying in constant contact throughout the whole process. If you are looking to have a full staff of people working on your side, this is the law firm for you.

Alex, Jenna, Amanda, Amy, Katie and everyone was great. Very professional, organized, and efficient at their jobs. Great communication through the whole process.
Alex killed it in court and blew the opposing counsel out of the water.

Alex Peterson and his team bring family law to a new level. Their knowledge, expertise, caring, ability to communicate, and responsiveness are so meaningful especially at a challenging time in one's life. I recommend Family First Legal Group wholeheartedly.

Honest, hard working, easy to reach team here! Ross, Amy & Doresmi were there when I needed them most. They were fair and I never had one billing or scheduling issue. If it made sense for me and could save me money they suggested it. Highly recommended

I had an amazing experience with Family First Legal Group. My case was one of the harder ones, relocation. I had a great case for it and Alex Peterson and John Gilhart explained thoroughly what I was up against and what evidence I needed to support my case. They represented me in court in the best possible way and fought tooth and nail for what my family and I deserved. They guided me through the process and answered any questions I had. Jenna Ritter was always a call away and would often put my mind at ease. Amy Vaughan and Katie Lang were always communicative and supportive of the process my family and I were going through and Amy did an exceptional job sorting out my finances and presenting them in a great manner, she was absolutely wonderful. Katie Peterson and Amanda at the front desk were wonderful as well and always answered my questions honestly and kindly. Last but not least Gillianne D'Achiardi worked with my finances and helped me establish a way to pay off my balance. Ultimately our goal of relocation was granted and my children and I are living “happily ever after” where we intended to relocate. I recommend this firm with everything I have if your ultimate goal is in the best interests of your children, as they truly do support family first. Thank you to this team for representing my family and I and giving us the ending we deserved!

Amy Amanda and Alison made the whole process go very smoothly. Everyone was very helpful

Family First is amazing, they make you feel like you have known them for years. Going thru a divorce is extremely hard but they all came together and helped answer ever question . Amy spent many hours back and forth with our crazy paperwork. Katie and Jenna were great at the last signing. John and Alex were both very helpful also. Thank you team for all your hard work!

The entire team at Family First Legal Group has been amazing, I consider them not only friends but also family. Attorney Peterson has fought hard battles on my part and has handled himself like a true general, one that fights on the front lines with the troops. He treats clients with respect, let's them know they are not simply case numbers, but people who need help not only in a legal battle but also in an emotional and spiritual sense. The moment one walks into the office, there is a sense of not only professionalism, but also acceptance and support. Attorney Peterson chooses only the best staff for his team, and I want to thank them all, especially Jenna, who has always gone above and beyond in every situation. The name of the firm says it all, family first. Well, now you all are my family.

I want to thank John G. and team (Amy, Jenna, Katie, Allison, Amanda) if I forgot anyone I’m sorry! But you were all soooo wonderful. They really helped me feel comfortable throughout the process and John was very patient with my case and really made it a stress free process. I would recommended Family First Legal Group for anyone needing legal services for the first time.

Extremely professional and easy to deal with. John was fantastic and eager to hear the details and explain my options.

Alex and his team are the very best. I say this from a great deal of professional experience. My firm handles related matters (but not family law) and we have referred many people (including personal friends) to Family First. Every single client has been completely satisfied; this of course reflects well on my firm. They are responsive, compassionate and fair with their billing. Five stars all the way.

I would like to thank Alex Peterson and his team at Family First Legal Group for being fair and prompt throughout my case. Alex gave me credit when no one else would. There were six other attorneys I had in this process and Alex was the best of them all. I have been with this Firm for the past three years and they made me feel like part of their family. Alex was familiar with my circumstances and did all he could to provide me with the results I wanted. Everyone at this Firm has done an outstanding job with helping me and I don't know what I would do without them. Thank you.

II recommend this firm of lawyers for the special treatment I received in each of my visits and the quick solution in my case these are the names of the people who help me up.AMY VAUGHAM ,MARY MARGARET ,GILL, DORESMI TORRES ,KATY LANG ,AMANDA SPARTZ ,KATY PETERSON and a special acknowledgment to Mr. JOHN GILHART || I can only say thank you guys keep going thx a lot

Attorney Ross Schulman and his team at Family First Legal were very professional in handling my divorce. They are all about settling the case the best way possible without driving up the cost to come to the best resolution. Ross is very good at sticking to the facts and working with the opposing counsel without getting drawn into an emotional battle. I was very pleased on how we collaborated together and he engaged the courts and opposing counsel to finalize things. Highly recommend them.

If anyone is looking for representation I would definitely go with family first legal group. Everyone there helped me out so much and if I had any issues or questions they were on top of it. I so glad I went with them and I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t thanks so much for not just caring about me but my family too

Thank you so much to Mary Margret and the entire staff. I cannot say enough good things about all of you. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a family law group. They are hands down the very best.

Alex and his team were amazing, and he was always there to steer me in the right direction when I became overwhelmed or frustrated. My advice to anyone else in this painful situation would be to listen to and trust your legal partner - hesitation and inaction only makes everyone suffer. It really is about the family first.

Alex Peterson and his staff helped ease my concerns approaching what I considered to be a very scary, unknown and uncomfortable topic, by empowering me with information, helping me feel important, that I was being heard, never made me feel any kind of pressure or that I was being rushed, always felt that my situation was respected and held in the utmost confidentiality and in general, the feeling I received when dealing with them was always in a very friendly and professional manner. After 3 years of separation my husband and I started seeing a marriage counselor, just so we could communicate better while going through the divorce process and wound up reconciling and getting back together and Alex was very supportive through all of the aspects of my situation. I highly recommend their practice to anyone considering divorce with dignity.

Alex and his staff were responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. In a town full of law firms, his was the only one that made me feel that they valued me as a client. I have referred several people to Family First and they have all been just as happy as I was.

I really felt the team at Family First was all about family and putting the children first. They truly live up to their name! Mary Margaret has been a great resource for all of my various questions and really shows she cares. I also really enjoy the emails I receive, they always have helpful content and makes me smile.

Mary Margret Monk and Alison where amazing from day one. They are experts in law and know exactly how to strike the balance between emotions and business in these difficult times. We managed to pull together within a week of meeting a final signed and stamped non contested marriage agreement. The divorce was finalized within 1 month of me
First meeting this amazing team. Would highly recommended!!! 5 Stars +++

After a very contentious 4 year battle in the California courts, I relocated to Naples and needed help with domestication issues of my court order. Ross Schulman was very honest with me and advised me on the best way to deal with my complicated situation. I appreciated the integrity of both Ross and the team members I interacted with. Gillianne was also exceptional to deal with. If I need further legal assistance, I will definitely go back to see them at Family First Legal Group.

Such a wonderful and experienced law firm to have on your side. A very hands on team that went above and beyond my expectations which achieved the results I was looking for. A huge thanks to Ross Schulman, John Gilhart, Alex Peterson, Gill D’ Achiadri, Doresmi Griffiths, Jenna Ritter, Alison Henley, Amy Vaughan, Katie Lang and Katie Peterson. One of the best law firms in Naples by far.

Alex is a professional; very detail oriented, dots every "i", crosses every "t", so that you will feel like you are in good hands throughout the whole process. Alex is also creative and aggressive (when needed) with his approach. He was receptive to our thoughts and ideas as well. Angela did a thorough job with email communications .

Alex proved to be a consistently trustworthy and a consummate, detail-oriented professional. He provided us with solid insight and guidance, and Angela was outstanding support. Family First exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!!

Alex and company made a bad experience tolerable. Thanks to Michele for her diligence. Also Angela and Amanda for keeping me updated and their tireless efforts.

Awesome people to work with attorney Holler was amazing answering all my questions and making sure the whole process was smooth .

Excellent and compassionate service by attorney Alex Peterson and his staff - Angela, Gill, Amy, and others. Even my now ex-wife noted that this firm's handling of our case was very helpful to her as well.

During a most difficult time in my life going through a divorce, Alex and his team helped me emotionally and legally to make the process a lot less difficult to bear. A sincere THANK YOU to a great team of people.

Best Family law practice!
All about the kids!

Best lawyers in town.

I had a real estate client of mine who was in desperate need of a divorce attorney, and I referred them to Alex Peterson. They had an unbelievable experience & I was amazed at just how communicative and responsive the entire staff was. Alex went above and beyond to assure that they got everything they needed and executed on everything he said he would do. As a fellow business professional, I would HIGHLY recommend Alex & his team to absolutely anyone who may need his service. You will not be disappointed!

Terry is characterized by his tremendous confidence. His solid TRANSPARENCE makes the client feel calm and safe. He was very serious throughout the proceedings of my case. Right after you meet Terry, you notice his expertise. I was impressed by his knowledge and honesty. He led me to win my case; therefore, I decided to do this review on behalf of those in need of a good lawyer’s representation. Do not think twice to hire Terry DeSalvo. Thankful to him for restoring peace in my mind and in my life. The memories of my case and the way Terry dictated himself to it will be present in my life for many years to come. He is a rock that stopped the injustice of those who tried to take advantage of the judicial system. The paralegal Jenna Ritter was extremely helpful, prompt to answer questions and find solutions in a few minutes. She did a great job that was needed in a short period of time. With this team, you can rest knowing that they are for sure taking care and in action as a flame.

I would recommend FFLG to anyone. The entire staff was courteous and helpful. I received quick responses to calls and emails and felt valued. The staff who helped me, Amanda, Gillian, Angel and my attorney, Terry, were fantastic. I couldn't have been happier with the service and treatment I received during my trying time.

I wanted to write this review to express mine and my family's gratitude to your firm. I am more than pleased with the outcome of yesterdays mediation. through the entire process i felt like mine and Brodie's best interests were put first and foremost. Attorney John Gilhart did an amazing job representing me the passed months and not only was he extremely knowledgeable and well spoken but a great person in general. From the first time we spoke i felt comfort in knowing he would be the one to represent me. During mediation if anything was mentioned that went against my overall goals John would immediately say "My client wont agree to that" thus staying true to the goals at hand. Not once did i feel like my overall wants were or would be compromised just to get a settlement. Jenna Ritter was so helpful in walking me through this entire process and easing my mind when i would feel stressed or overwhelmed along with helping me to obtain fill out and understand the things i had to provide for this case. Amanda Spartz held as big a roll in yesterdays out come as John and Jenna sending me helpful reminders of due dates keeping me updated on things being filed day in and day out and helping me stay on top of the things that still needed submitted. So again i thank you all for the help guidance and making me feel as though i deserved the things i set out to accomplish. I don't have Alex' last name but some of the things he had said the final day i met with John in the office really resonated with me as far as the steps for moving forward and that now for any future issues i am not starting from scratch or needing to prove myself in the eyes of the court because i gained equality as a parent yesterday. so please relay that to him. Again thank you all for helping me gain back equal say in my sons life. you are truly appreciated.

I was very impressed both Alex and Jenna were professional and timely .
I would definitely use their services again in the future.

Thank you, so much to the Family First Legal Group team. I spend almost 2 years with them going through my divorce and I couldn’t have chosen a better team to help me go through it. My attorney Ross was amazing and helped me understand every little detail and so did Angela his paralegal. I appreciate all the hard work they put into my case and the outcome of how everything turned out. Recommend 10/10

During one of the most difficult times of my life Alex Peterson and his staff helped me feel like even though my life as I knew it had just ended that there was hope for a fresh start and a new beginning. From our first meeting, on through the final settlement of my divorce everyone involved with my case gave me great confidence for a good outcome. Sara Glover was my main attorney throughout most of the case, and she filled me with confidence that even if we weren't able to reach a settlement, that she or Alex would be more than capable of getting a good outcome for me in court. Sara and the rest of the people at the firm always made me feel very comfortable and helped me to keep my head up even when I was feeling very torn up inside. Everyone there from Amanda, who always greeted me with a smile, to the paralegals working along with my attorneys were always very helpful and friendly. I would like to thank Megan, Jenna, Amy, Katie P & Katie L for all being so kind, professional and helpful during this process. I don't know what I would have done without all of you in my corner. Alex had came highly recommended to me by a good friend of mine who used him in his divorce and now I know why. I wouldn't use anyone else if ever the need arises in the future. Hopefully this won't be a service I ever need to make use of again, but If I do I know who I will call!

Alex and his team were able to successfully navigate some complex issues related to my son's divorce. Their compassionate and creative approach was most welcome during a very trying time.

Family First Legal Group I have two individuals that I have dealt with, Attorney Alex Peterson and Katie Lang his paralegal. Both have made the ugly process of a family break up easier to handle the slow process of the law. They are truly a FAMILY and their concerns are genuine. My only regret was that I did not start with this fine firm, but I know if needed in the future Family First Legal Group will be my first call.

I have been dealing with First Family Legal Group for a couple of years now. There has been NO unnecessary billing, NO run around, and NO issues. The whole experience has been professional and personal honesty from start to finish.
The entire team deserves my gratitude and appreciation. I have worked with a few of them over the years, and the teamwork and seamless operation they provide is unmatched!
First Family Legal Group is the second firm I for my divorce with minor child and they have been exceptional in all aspects, including being aware of the cost for a single father of 1. The case may be closed, but I will still be employing them if anything ever arises.
I would like to give a personal thank you to Jenna for all of her hard work and dedication (including all of her late nights and weekends) working on this case!

I highly recommend this law firm because they took the load off of me and helped me focus on my family as I was going through this tough transition in my life. I was so overwhelmed and pessimistic about the outcome of my divorce. They not only spent time counseling me in office, but I was able to access them during my times of need during off hours. Throughout the process they reassured me that everything will work out fine and they will do whatever it takes to have thing in my favor. They were right. They prepared everything for me down to the slightest detail and prepared me for any stray balls that could possibly hinder me. I am very satisfied with their service. Things turned out way better than I could have imagined. Attorneys Ross Schulman, Presley Davis, and paralegal Angela Velez were phenomenal. They truly care about their client’s total wellbeing. I don’t regret working with them.

I wanted to give a big thank you to the whole team at family first legal group. I’m very pleased with my experience and overall out come on my case. It was a difficult journey but they were always there with a helping hand. A big shout out to Ross Schulman who I can’t thank enough for his guidance and support during tough times. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone,Best decision I made. Thank you!

Police dk NOT follow there oath at all they need to do a good investigation on the Fort Myers Police department and the Children and Families.

“Our Step-Parent Adoption process led by Alex Peterson and supported by Gillian D’Achiardi and Katie Lang was a delightful experience of efficiency and professionalism. Alex has built a knowledgeable and empathetic team to help clients through a legal process that was complicated by the need for international cooperation. Alex, it was great working with you, and special credit belongs to Gillian and Kate for their attention to detail and providing relief to the pesky details of the law process.”

I have had the privileged of having Alexander Peterson as my attorney in my divorce and child custody case. He has represented me in the most professional manner! He is honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with tenderness and never lost site of the end goal, which was to protect, defend and have the best outcome for my daughter and I. His office is supported by amazing staff, Jenna, Katie, Anna and Gillianne, were great through the whole process. Hopefully I won’t have to recommend Alex to my friends or family, but if those unfortunate circumstances arise then there’s only one name I would trust. Thank you again for all your help!

I came to Family First Legal Group on a referral from a friend and I’m glad I did. I was having some difficulties from an old divorce agreement that just didn’t give me enough shared time with my children. After consulting with the firm I felt confident that I had a great case. We ended up at mediation and in the end Ross Schulman took care of me. I got the extra time I wanted and left very very happy. The amazing staff that worked on my case, Doresmi Torres Griffiths, Katie Lang, Katie Peterson were all wonderful and special thanks to Amanda Spartz who always had a smile on her face every time I walked in which always made me feel better when I was a little unsure at times. I would recommend this firm whole heartedly to anyone with family issues who is looking for resolution to their problems. I would use them again if need be and would tell anyone and everyone who needed help about Family First Legal Group. Because as their name says Family First, trust me. They care. AAA+++ 5 out of 5 stars.

Words really cannot express my gratitude for this firm. Attorney Alex Peterson is a man of integrity and has an obvious passion for his work in helping people. He’s young and energetic and a “go-getter” who’s ready to get the job done.
My situation was a very unique one. Not at all a typical divorce or family situation, so I knew my case was a tough one from the start, but Alex sought after justice on my behalf and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate.
Now having shared with you what a stand-up Guy Alex is; no man can do the job alone. He has carefully chosen a team who supports him and does an awesome job of communicating with his clients and taking care of all of the various aspects of what makes a legal team awesome. First off, he and his wife Katie Peterson work as a great professional team together and are supported superbly by Katie Lang, Jenna and Gillianne.
Lastly, if you want to be represented by someone who truly does care about family; this is the team for you. I don’t think I ever met with Alex one time over the course of three years that he didn’t ask about my child or how we were doing as a family. I give this man and his team 5 stars because they truly made a positive difference at a time when my life’s circumstances at times seemed hopeless.

Family First Legal Group is made up of highly professional team members which made the entire process as smooth as silk. Sara Glover was obtained to handle our daughter’s difficult divorce/child custody case. She had total understanding of the intricacies involved. Sara possesses numerous strong qualities that combined, make her exceptional. She is very knowledgeable, highly professional, articulate, prepared, hard-working (gives 100%), always available and prompt in her responses to us, and able to bring tranquility during this stressful time. Because of her dynamic and powerful representation, aptly conveying to the Judge, the case ended in our favor. I highly recommend Sara to anyone who is seeking legal representation. We will be forever grateful for what she did for us!
Janet and Rod Johnson

Over three years ago when looking for a top notch attorney I read the reviews and came to the decision that Family First would be the best decision for my wife and I. We have had an extensive battle that lasted over 3 years but has finally come to a conclusion and I would like to thank the staff members for their professionalism and courtesy along the way. Thank you Katie Peterson, Katie Lang, Gillianne, Jenna and especially Alex Peterson for all your hard work through such a trying time in our lives.

Where's my retainer?? Just kidding amazing staff jenna, was awesome they made my divorce simple my attorney John was awesome too, great staff across the board thanks for the assistance

Alex Peterson and his team did an amazing job of representing my sister during her divorce case. Prior to hiring this team, my sister had horrible experiences with two other attorney's. Sara Glover was assigned to this case and I cannot say enough good about her. Her attention to detail, communication skills, thoroughness, professionalism, and dedication to her clients is what makes Sara such an exceptional attorney. Thank you Sara and the entire team at Family First Legal Group!

Hiring Attorney Sara Glover, from Family First Legal Group was the best decision I made! Sara is intelligent, dedicated, proficient, knows the law, cares about her clients, truly gets to know your case backwards and forward, will give you honest and truthful recommendations to benefit you, and will fight for you! She was available around the clock, responding to emails immediately, day, night, and even weekends! I could go on and on about how impressed I was with Sara Glover and the entire law firm! If you need someone you can rely on you can count on Family First Legal Group!

I strongly recommend this firm, Ross, Amanda and the rest of the staff took great care of me during my divorce, made it so easy for me suggesting and providing information any time I needed it.

Absolutely the best! They are honest, professional and empathetic. Alex and Katie are top notch. I only wish I had found them sooner. After Alex Peterson helped me and my case was complete, he called me a few weeks later just as a courtesy follow up to see how I was doing. He is by far the best and I am very appreciative.

I am grateful for the care I received from Family first legal group. Special to John Gilhart , Katie, Jenna, Amy, Alex and his team were forthright, efficient and performed exceptionally well.. I highly recommend Family first legal group and the rest of the team to anyone who needs their service. Thanks guys

I couldn’t imagine a lawyer that long after case was over and bills were paid to get a call just because my family was on his mind! So compassionate and understanding to our situation. I think every situation and reason that ultimately brings you to hire a lawyer is difficult and unique. Unfortunately our case did not belong in a Florida court and ended with closing and a transfer to Texas so we needed to go in a different direction of law counselors but I truly trust and appreciate all that the Family First Law group was able to accomplish!
We highly recommend them! Thank you Alex, and your whole team!!! The Balo’s

Thank you Family First Legal group. Your entire team was amazing. From the first call I made to the end. John G, Jenna R. Katie L, and Amanda S. thank you for begin so understanding, compassionate, for always keeping me informed and most of all working on your time off. Again thank you!!

Alex Peterson is an amazing lawyer, one who actually cares! He puts his all into your case and will help you ever step of your process. His staff is professional and friendly. I refer many of the my therapy clients because I always know he will help them to his best ability. Working with Alex is always a pleasure and he is always my 1st choice when referring anyone for family law. Thanks Alex!

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.

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.

Alex Peterson, Esq. and his team are extremely knowledgeable, professional, but most importantly kind and compassionate to their clients. Divorce is one of the most difficult times in a person's life especially when there are children involved and it's critical that you believe that your counsel cares and is in your corner to protect your best interests, now and in the future. My first contact with this office was with Amanda, who listened without judgment and empathized with my ugly situation, while also ensuring that my case was indeed important. Sometimes the last stop you make is your best choice. Some family law attorneys forget that although they do this day in and day out, families generally don't. I would recommend this firm to anyone going through this rotten circumstance. God bless!

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!

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!
