I was fortunate to receive recommendations from physicians and attorney friends to hire Attorney Chris Sanders. I was so grateful I followed the recommendation. Mr. Sanders is a concerned, attentive, knowledgeable, and solution oriented Attorney. Due to the professionalism and correctness of his e...xpertise my unemployment was reversed and successful.

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.
