Excellent legal representation

Mr. Sanders recently served as outside counsel in two employment litigation matters for my client. He brings not only a wealth of employment law experience and litigation savvy to the table, but also takes a very practical and economic approach that I believe saved my client money while achieving ou...tstanding results. I recommend Mr. Sanders without hesitation!

Professional

James is the consummate professional....not only at the law but in dealing with the human side of the case. We became more than just a typical client/lawyer relationship .....James showed his caring side and interest in me and my family and how a lawsuit would impact our lives. I would HIGHLY recom...mend James for any legal situation.

Outstanding Trial Lawyer

I have retained James Sanders on several litigation matters, all with outstanding results. In the past year he has tried and won two cases for me. Both juries returned defense verdicts in less than an hour. He is a great trial lawyer who is budget conscious and efficient.

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.
