Outstanding Legal Representation
I highly recommend Dale Edwin Sanders if you need a criminal lawyer. Dale represented me in a complex criminal case. Once he took charge of the case everything changed for me (after having fired 2 attys in a row) As a result of his superb efforts, the sexual assault charge was reduced to a minor...

Great Lawyer - Even Better Results!
Dale represented me on a matter in family court in which the odds were definitely stacked against me. He did an outstanding job at trial going far beyond expectations.

Perry Mason Ending
I hired Dale Sanders to represent me in a traffic matter. It looked pretty bad for me that day in court, with several witnesses testifying against my position. I thought I was going to lose. At the very end, Dale found a procedural mistake the prosecutor had made, and I was acquitted. It was a r...

"Dale is a superb attorney - and a very pleasant person. That said, I would want to be up against him in court. Highly recommend."
"I endorse this lawyer. He works extremely hard for every client and is not satisfied until he gets everything possible for the client. He is creative. He is very good in the courtroom, and makes a good connection with and impression on jurors."
"I am happy to endorse Dale. He is creative and determined in his pursuit of his clients' rights and interests. Dale has been a valued legal advocate for gay people and people living with HIV for decades."
"I've known and worked with Dale on cases for more than 15 years. He's a great litigator. I've referred a number of clients to him for criminal defense and he's always done a great job."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dale and I were partners for a few years, so I had a chance to see his work close at hand. Since then, I have referred many difficult cases to him, cases that I simply would not know how to handle. Usually the cases I send him involve the government or some institution violating someone's rights. These are usually the cases that make me want to do something to help, so I send them to Dale, knowing that if there is a way for this person's rights to be vindicated, he will find it. The feedback I have gotten has always been very positive. He is not only a zealous advocate, but a scholar with a creative mind. I unhesitatingly recommend him to you."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dale's legal work is first rate, and he is someone I can count on to do the job for those I refer to him. I endorse him without reservation as someone who is creative and aggressive in pursuing the rights and remedies for his clients."
