"I knew Mike first as a prosecutor then a defense attorney. He was a professional, competent attorney then and now. I fully endorse this attorney."
"Do you have a traffic or DUI issue? Michael knows the ropes. All of them. In his extensive time at the City of Seattle, Michael excelled at his work. Success is all about the details. There is no better person to defend an infraction than someone who used to prosecute."
"I have known Michael for almost 18 years since we were Prosecutors together and Michael is as smart as they come. Michael is extremely knowledgeable on the law and does a tremendous job handling difficult traffic matters for his clients. I am very pleased to endorse Michael and do so without reservation."
"Michael is an outstanding lawyer. I met him many years ago when he was a prosecutor for the City of Seattle. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, and a highly skilled trial lawyer. I highly recommend him."
"I worked with Michael while we managed the prosecution of traffic infractions for the City of Seattle. I guarentee that Michael will leave no stone unturned in researching and arguing your case. I have rarely worked with an attorney who delves as in depth into a legal matter as successfully as Michael. If there is a defense to your ticket - he will find it."
"For years I knew Mike Sanders as a Seattle City Prosecutor. Mike was always well prepared and methodical in his own presentation of his cases. I knew Mike really wanted to do defense, and so I can only imagine his research and passion carries him well into the representation of his clients. I would highly endorse Mike Sanders. He is personable and among the most solid advocates I have ever seen."
