Defective and Dangerous Products 70%

I have handled complex litigation for the past 20 years, resolving multiple class actions and mass tort cases. I have handled District and Circuit Court cases that have resulted in changes to state laws, changes in corporate and governmental policy and changes in long held Federal jurisprudence.

70%
Environmental and Natural Resources 15%

I understand epidemiology studies and recently privately co-conducted and co-funded one involving approximately 9,000 of my clients regarding exposure to a complex set of chemicals as a result of a toxic release in Louisiana. Further, I was appointed as lead class counsel in Sandra Deshields-Ford v. Chemical Waste Management, Inc, Et Al, 10-cv-5355, in the 14th Judicial District Court in Louisiana. As lead counsel I resolved over 16,000 claims for victims of that toxic release.

Brilliant Attorney

Perry Sanders and I have been working together on many challenging mass tort cases involving devastating injuries. Perry is my sounding board, mentor and guiding light in most of the complex cases . After consulting with Perry every twist and turn that keeps me up at night ends in a logical, creativ...e, simple solution. My clients think I'm a genius: most of the time it's Perry's strategy to win that I'm relying on. From one lawyer to another I can't thank him enough for his legal help or recommend his services enough times.

Class action lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Perry Sanders is an exceptionally-talented attorney. He has handled class actions and complex litigation throughout the United States, and we are fortunate to have an attorney of his caliber practicing law in our community. Perry owns multiple business in Colorado Springs, has an active litigation practice, and devotes a significant amount of time to his family and the community. Nevertheless, despite his busy schedule, Perry has always made time to discuss a case or a particular trial strategy with me, and with other attorneys in Colorado Springs. If I needed to hire a litigation attorney, I would not hesitate to place my legal matter in Perry's hands. He has an intensity and passion for his craft that is hard to find."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Perry for almost 40 years, and over those years we have worked on several cases together. His dedication, expertise, knowledge and legal talent are evident in all he does. He has had great success helping people with their legal problems, especially those injured by defective products and dangerous conditions, not only because he is a good lawyer, but also because he cares about his clients. And, he has a remarkable gift of communicating with and convincing lawyers and judges, as well as just regular folks. Oh, and he is a good person."
