This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unprofessional

I completely agree with the review titled “Liar and Con”. Makes sense why he’s a public defender and not an actual lawyer. Said he would help me with my case and never got back to me. Also referred me as “dude” over the phone, talk about unprofessional! JEESHHHH

Lier and a con !

Grant talks a great game ! He tells you what you want to hear and then stabs you in the back ! I truly trusted Grant ! I told him everything he was at my house,my parents house and my brother's house. He met my dog ! In 2016 Grant was my attorney for a BB gun that was my son's that he gotten for Xmas... the charge was felon in possession of a firearm and a meth pipe! I was scared of going to prison ! I kept saying that the police voliated my rights! About 6 months later Grant fills out this plea agreement for me and then gets me to come and sign the last page ! Because I truly trusted him and HE NEVER said anything about the illegal search of my car and I believe I am bi polar and don't understand what things I sign ! I sign! I JUST FOUND OUT November 2021 that YES the police voliated my rights and that the state went to dismiss the case and then Grant Sanders lied,tricked,cons me to make a plea !!!! My life is completely distroyed as this result !! I have even thought about killing myself! Grant Sanders should not ever represent anybody

The attorney who saved my children

"Grant was appointed to represent me over 7 years ago when my public defender was called away from work. I was concerned that my matter would not get the attention it needed. Boy, was I surprised. Grant took the time to listen to me, gather the facts of the case (my prior public defender never... had), and was willing to "take on" the judge when there were some unfavorable rulings. With his legal research and strategy, he was able to move the custody case out of a county where the judge had a bias against me. The result: a child protection case was dismissed, and I was granted sole legal and physical custody of my children. "If you're a married or single father, contact Grant. He is an advocate for a father's rights. He will do everything in his power to assist you. I have Grant on 'speed dial' should any issues arise with the mother of my children. Grant's service was more than I expected from an appointed lawyer- and my children consider him their "guardian angel." What distinguishes Grant is that he listens to you and cares about the outcome of your case. I wholeheartedly recommend Grant for any family or child protection matter."

FINRA Arbitration Panelist

Mr. Grant Sanders and I met a few months ago at a FINRA Dispute Resolution case where we were both panel member on a very complicated case. While I have not known Grant for a long period of time, I was very impressed with his depth of knowledge and professionalism. His insight was extremely valuab...le in helping the FINRA Chairman and myself come up with a with our final decision. Grant is good listener, has strong communication skills and is an exceptional attorney. Hire him with confidence.
