Mr. Sanders has handled traffic cases for me and criminal case for my son. I would gladly recommend him for all your legal court procedures. He is very professional and works for the best outcome for your situation. I have referred my friends and family to his law firm because he fights for you and is very respectful. He also has a great rapport with the DA, Judges and all staff within the court house, making it a uncomplicated task navigating through the court house and the judicial system.

Hired Attorney Michael Sanders P.C.

Mr. Sanders is an extremely dishonest person. He questions witnesses that come forward without evidence. Tells judges he is looking at evidence and asks the opinions of witnesses, but when asked to submit into the record he simply "doesn't have to show it". He comes completely unprepared, talks about things completely unrelated to the subject, and quite frankly turns a blind eye to violence. He lacks any fact finding and came to his conclusions based off his clients emotions. Really find his actions were disgusting. This is why he lost his client's case.

He quit being my lawyer 4 days prior to my trial that I had already paid him for!! Held has no regards to your well being, clouded on what’s right or wrong, cares more about professional relationships and his status with DA’s and judges that doing the right thing!! Crap lawyer!! Don’t waste your energy on this careless lawyer who cares not of clients but his personal gain!!!
