Divorce

After 29 years of marriage, I found myself looking for a divorce attorney. Not knowing where to turn, Janet Sanders was recommended. I made the call, skeptical of everything I had heard about attorneys. I met with Janet and, to my surprise, I was very pleased. She was very nice. As the divorce m...oved forward, I became very overwhelmed with everything. I would get upset filling out papers and push them aside. Janet actually took the time to sit down with me and assist me in completing my paperwork. She actually made a chaotic divorce go forward in a prompt manner. Janet is very professional and has an excellent knowledge base. She is awesome and will treat you like a real person. Her secretary, Tina, was also very professional and knowledgeable. I want to give a big THANK YOU to Janet and Tina. I could not have made it through this without their care and concern during this overwhelming and trying time in my life. I would highly recommend Janet Sanders to anyone seeking a divorce attorney. She is awesome!

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Janet Sanders came highly recommended by two attorney friends to handle our Family Law Case that has been on going since 2008. We have been in and out of court for 3 cases against my husbands ex wife for child support cases since 2008. We had been previously working with an attorney prior to Janet Sa...nders who claimed to know Family Law but shown to know very little when it came right down to it. We were done dealing with attorney's who really didn't know the laws when it came right down to it. We are in the last year of having to pay child support for my husbands soon to be 18 year old daughter. Since his daughter has decided to live with us full time we knew we were going to have to take his ex wife back to court to have the child support dropped so we contacted Janet Sanders. I was VERY impressed with her from the moment I met her. She looked over all our paper work from all the previous cases and we learned rather quickly that not only the attorney that my husband used but also the attorney that his ex wife used did not file the correct paperwork with the courts. It's good to know that we are now in good hands so that we can get this case closed once and for all and not have to worry about 10 years from now being brought back to court because the ex found a loop hole in the paper work that would gain her only thousands more then what's she has already got in the past due to not having an attorney who really knows Family Law like Janet Sanders does. We are VERY pleased with her professionalism her rates and her knowledge on Family Law Case.
