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.

"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."
