Scott Sanders has been my attorney for many years. He has always shown me the utmost courtesy and integrity. His legal research is comprehensive, and his recommendations trustworthy. I have referred many of my own clients, friends and family members to him for consult and counsel. I intend to uti...lize his services until the day he retires from practice!

Client

Excellent. Down to earth. Talks in layman's terms to help the client understand. Tries to take care of business and not drag things out. He represented my husband approximately 10 years ago, and now we are faced with another legal situation. As soon as we found his information we immediately called h...im and switched attornies.

Sales Representative Case

I am attorney but also have an partial interest in a family-run sales representative firm that my brother runs. We had a contract dispute with one of our principals and when I went looking for a litigation attorney who had experience in "manufacturer's representative cases," I was referred to Scott S...anders and told that he was a specialist in the area. I signed up for Scott's services on an hourly basis and he was very fair with his billing. I feel like we got bang for the money we spent on him. Although we filed arbitration in the case, Scott helped walk us through the process and the negotiations and we ended up with a very favorable settlement AND we maintained the relationship with the principal and we are still doing business together today. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott or to use his services myself again.

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.
