This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excessive Billing

Retain this firm and mentally brace yourself to spend enough to fund a third world country. They don’t play games while blowing through your marital assets, billing for time spent billing, and expertly unlocking bonus levels of overpriced litigation. Forget the best interests of children because gues...s what? Years -and six figures spent- later?! SURPRISE!! It doesn’t even matter because you’re still married :)

A professional WILL write a response to your ridiculous post, but it won't be unprofessional - though it will be personal. What I find fascinating is you don't understand that a post like this from one of our client's ex's is the BEST advertisement there could ever be! So sincerely, we thank you! So for anyone reading this wondering if the owner of Family First is sad, upset or hurt by this person's post - let him tell you directly. No. He's not. The money spent and the time invested proving what was proven at trial needed to be done to protect the children involved and THANK GOD the person who made this investment (our Client) did so because now his children can have a safe, normal and happy life. What this post really is is sad. Anyone reading it can see the problems the Court found in its judgment have clearly NOT improved and we genuinely hope this person finds help, peace and healing because to date, those things have escaped her. Best of luck.

Great people to work with!!

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 l...awyers in this field and they are the best by far!!

Amazing

Alex and his team are the best - professional, sincere, and diligent. Alex thoroughly cares about his clients and their children. I cannot say enough great things about him, not only as a fantastic attorney, but as a person as well. His expertise in family law and compassion as a person is what ev...eryone needs when hiring an attorney. He is outstanding in the courtroom as well!

The world needs more Alex Petersons in the legal system!

Alex is a humble and energetic lawyer who represents justice and the rights of children as his top priority. He selflessly represents families through perseverance and truth. His words and actions demonstrate a keen understanding of Family Law and how to execute it ;whether he is in the office or th...e courtroom. Alex is an excellent communicator and advocates for the greatest outcome. He reminds me of my dad ,who is a retired lawyer. He combines the balance of the art and science of practicing law. Great lawyers have passion and respect for humanity. Abraham Lincoln once stated,"Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality...Commitment is the stuff character is made of;the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism."
