Eviction of Adult Child

Kevin not only told me my legal rights, and process; he actually heard me as a person and mother, and offered a little practical advice that helped me put the emotionally painful decision in perspective and feel confident to move forward. Thank You

Kevin's the best!

After being wronged by my employer, a good friend thought I might have a case & put me in touch with Kevin Sanderson. I never dreamed I would have cause to pursue this case, but Kevin took it on. Throughout the entire process, Kevin kept me informed & worked for my best interest. It took over 2 year...s, but Kevin persevered. He used his expert negotiating skills, went above & beyond & procured a nice settlement for me. Without Kevin, I never would have gotten any compensation from my former employer. I can't thank Kevin enough for such a wonderful outcome & standing up for the little guy against a big corporation.

Employment and labor lawyer | Nov 22

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Kevin Sanderson for nearly ten years. We have tried cases together and have worked on several matters that resolved before litigation. We also have worked on several business transactions. While Kevin is experienced in several areas of the law, he excels at employee representation and has had case specific information published by NYU law professor Scott Skinner-Thompson, Aids and The Law, 5th Edition, Wolters Kluwer (2015). His practice in domestic relations is broad and includes divorces representing clients involving multi-millions of dollars. I have worked with him on several business matters, including contracts for the purchase of several professional practice groups and other matters. Kevin’s complete use of his education, both in the law and in psychology, is unique. He often knows how his clients and the other parties will react before they do. This leads to timely resolution of matters and satisfied clients."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
