The people behind
Legacy First Law.

Garrison English is the attorney and founder of Legacy First Law. He built the firm around a single conviction: that clients deserve focused expertise, clear communication, and pricing they understand before committing to anything.

Garrison holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law and an MBA that preceded his legal career. That combination, legal training layered on top of business education, gives him a perspective most attorneys simply do not have. He understands not just the legal mechanics of a transaction or estate plan, but the financial, operational, and strategic implications that come with every decision.

Before founding Legacy First Law, Garrison saw firsthand how large firms treat legal work as a volume business, creating gaps in accountability and communication that leave clients feeling underserved. He started this firm to do it differently: focused expertise, clear pricing, and a team that stays accountable to your goals throughout the process.

His practice focuses on estate planning and business law. That focus is intentional. Deep expertise in a defined practice area produces better outcomes than broad coverage spread thin. Garrison knows these areas inside and out, and he brings that depth to every client matter.

The first 15-minute consultation is always free. Every matter beyond that is structured around a flat fee for out-of-court work, agreed upon in writing before any work begins. No surprise invoices. No billing ambiguity.

Bridget Sciamanna brings more than 25 years of corporate legal experience to Legacy First Law. Her career spans complex business, compliance, and transactional matters across some of the largest industrial companies in the United States, giving her a practical, business-first perspective that directly informs her work in estate planning and business law.

Before joining Legacy First Law, Bridget served as Head of Legal at Peak Design and as Chief Compliance Officer at The Lycra Company, a Koch Industries company, where she led legal strategy at global scale. Her tenure as Assistant General Counsel at Koch Industries and INVISTA spanned nearly a decade, advising senior executives on corporate governance, compliance, and business operations across energy and advanced materials sectors.

Earlier in her career, Bridget served as Commercial Counsel at W.L. Gore and Associates across their diverse technology and manufacturing lines. That depth of experience in large corporate legal operations gives her an understanding of how legal decisions intersect with business structure, succession planning, and long-term asset protection.

Bridget holds a Juris Doctor from Widener University School of Law and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of the Pennsylvania Environmental Law Handbook and a recipient of the Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Pollution Prevention.
