heaven sent!!

Forrest sanderson took my case when I was down and out, and charged with it. Forrest showed up to court to support me and get more info on my case before he ever even accepted the case. I owe this man my life. I am with out words to discribe how much this man helped me. He fought for me like as if th...e case was connected to him personally. Forrest produced a strong case, and was in court within a week. He protected and fought for my child as if, my son was his own. Forrest is an unbelivable lawyer, and one of the best men i have ever met. I can only hope that every lawyer strives and works as hard as this man does for their clients. He does not look at you and your case as a paycheck, but as person and does everything in his power to fight for your cause. I will never be able to thank him enough.

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.
