"I cannot say enough good things about Alex Peterson and Family First Legal Group. From the very beginning, Alex demonstrated a level of care and compassion that immediately put me at ease during one of the most stressful times of my life. He took the time to truly understand my situation, always listened without judgment, and made me feel like more than just a case number. What truly sets Alex apart is his diligence. He worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was handled with precision, always kept me informed, and never left me in the dark. His dedication to protecting families and doing what’s right shines through in everything he does. I felt fully supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares and will fight for you with both heart and skill, I highly recommend Alex Peterson and the entire team at Family First Legal Group. They are a rare gem in the legal world."

"Family First Legal Group is truly exceptional. Facing this challenging situation has been entirely new and burdensome for me, and opting for a consultation with Alex Peterson at the firm turned out to be the wisest decision. In summary, my ex-wife, an undocumented immigrant, attempted to exploit false abuse accusations for VAWA citizenship. Jacob Barrett, an outstanding domestic violence attorney, effectively countered these claims. In family court, Megan Sanford played a crucial role, dismantling opposition and securing a 50/50 parenting plan victory. I highly recommend Family First Legal Group, and I want to express my gratitude to Kelsey Cromie, the paralegal, for her invaluable assistance. They truly stand out as the best in the legal field."

"Family first legal group was amazing and helping me get my case resolved. Attorney Jon Gilhart and Brittany Underwood was very punctual in their responses and addressing my concerns. I appreciate Mr. Gilharts strategic approach to our case and its resolution, and I am appreciative of Brittany for keeping me in the loop from beginning to end. Thank you!"

"I couldn’t have asked for better skilled Attorneys. Alex, Brittany and Megan were outstanding throughout the whole process. Without Alex’s knowledge and Brittany’s fast pace, this wouldn’t have been possible. We came to them with a horrible situation and It was very visible how passionate they were about the case. They are the best at what they do and fight their hardest!!"
