About Michael
Biography
I am a native of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. I am a cum laude graduate of Campbell University's School of Law. I have practiced law in northeastern North Carolina since 1990. I have tried cases ranging from first degree murder to speeding cases. I have handled thousands of DWIs, felonies and personal injury cases. Some of my cases have received widespread media attention, including a 6-day trial on Court TV and another featured on a popular crime documentary series, Forensic Files.

Michael was able to do exactly what he thought he could for my speeding ticket and was very professional. I was very pleased with the outcome and his fees.

Fast, professional, pain free
I literally called Mr. Sanders for a traffic violation and my next time hearing from him was telling me my case was settled. We all live busy lives and it’s comforting to know someone’s got your back. Huge thanks to Mr. Sanders and his firm for helping me and turning my stress level to 0.
Michael P. Sanders's Lawyer Endorsements
"I'm a local lawyer who was born and raised in Elizabeth City. I can say, undoubtedly, that for the past 25 years Michael Sanders has been a trusted name in criminal defense. He has represented thousands of clients with professionalism and distinction. It's been a couple of decades since I had to call on his services myself, but before he was a colleague, he was my attorney of choice. Since I'm still a relatively novice lawyer, he's also the one I make sure to watch when he is trying a case. He's the real deal."
