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.

Very Profesional
Hired Mr Saunders and from the very first meeting I knew that he was the one for the job. Mr Sanders made payment arrangements for me and made it very affordable.

ILL prepared for trail
ILL prepared for trial. Didn't ask basic law questions 101 to the prosecution witnesses. Had to hire another lawyer to straighten out what he didn't do. Maybe a good negotiator but but poor trail lawyer
I disagree with this review wholeheartedly and point out that in 29 years of practice this is the only negative review I've ever received. Mike Sanders
"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."
