Terrence M. DeSalvo Jr.

We cannot express our gratitude enough to Attorney Terry Desalvo, Attorney Alex Peterson and their remarkable team at Family First Legal Group. Attorney DeSalvo represented us on a Stepparent Adoption and all throughout the two years he went above and beyond to make sure that things were taken care o...f. In such a vulnerable time in our lives he made it known that we were in good hands. Terry was there every step of the way whenever we needed him he was just a phone call away. He kindly and patiently listened to our concerns and answered any questions we had in a timely matter. We also worked closely with paralegal Angela Velez and we couldn’t have been blessed with a better paralegal. Angela surpassed all of our expectations. She always made sure to call us with results quickly and was even there to just hear me vent when stress and emotions got the best of me. We always felt there deepest concerns with every phone call or every meeting. They truly live up to there name “Family First” because they really made us feel like family. All of the staff there are incredibly professional and kind. I often spoke and dealt with with Leslie, Sarah, Lisa, Jenna and Jillian. Again, words cannot describe how great we were treated every single time by the staff members. If you have a similar situation you’re looking to solve or any other family law related situation please look no further. Family First will make sure to give you and your family the peace of mind you deserve. Forever grateful.

Terry had both my long term and short term goals in mind throughout the entire divorce process. He is very focused and detailed, making sure nothing gets overlooked that will affect your future life. I appreciate his honesty and experience with the court that brought a gravity to the decisions I made....

Where do I even begin.... After 29 years of marriage, sadly, it ended. I had to make a decision, for the first time, on my own, of what or how to hire an attorney firm. Looking at reviews, I chose Family First Legal Group and my case was assigned to the most brilliant Attorney Terry DeSalvo Jr. Aft...er my first phone conversation with Attorney DeSalvo I knew I made the right decision. He answered my questions, and believe me, I had many! Feeling overwhelmed, Attorney DeSalvo reassured me we would get through this together. Along with the help of my paralegal, Lisa Singleton, and Attorney DeSalvo, I did get through my divorce. Every decision I made was truly made with the help and guidance of Attorney DeSalvo. The hardest day of my life was mediation. It was a 12-1/2 day. Second guessing myself, I asked Attorney DeSalvo, for advise. He looked at me, and gave me advise not only from a professional stand point, but also as a friend. How often can a client say that about their attorney. It speaks volumes.. This is an email I sent to Attorney DeSalvo after our marathon day of mediation.. I wanted my attorney to know how grateful I was to have had his support... Hello Attorney DeSalvo, I feel as though you and everyone there were my family. I woke up at 2am and reviewed all my documents till early morning. I am taking your advise and moving forward, starting fresh, and feeling confident WE made the right decision.. I always felt you had my best interest at heart.. I thank you for that... Yesterday was probably one of the most important decision I had and will ever have to make. Thank you for your professional and friend to friend support that I needed... I will be just fine!!

Terry DeSalvo, Alex Peterson and the team at First Family Legal Group were brought on as my fifth legal counsel, post-divorce, dealing with a petition filed by my ex-husband to modify child support just 6 months after our final judgement that had been dragging on for over a year and a half. In a m...atter of only three months, Terry helped me to fend off a trial on only his petition/request(s), file the required documents to secure my requests, as well as negotiate/settle my case in its entirety. Terry's expertise and ability to actually get things done timely and efficiently was greatly superior to any other attorney I have worked with in Naples and beyond. I would highly recommend his services.
