Best attorney and team ever!!!

I hired Casey to help with my divorce, parenting plan/ custody and obtaining the stimulus checks that my ex-husband took from the children. I am so glad that I had Casey and his team by my side, representing me. They worked diligently this past year to close my case and through the entire process the...y listened to what I had to say, understood what I wanted and gave me honest feedback. I can honestly say that Casey and his team cared about me and about my children. Through the whole process Casey thought about my children and what was best for them. We won my case and my ex-husband walked away happy too. It was a win win for everyone! Best attorney and team ever!!!

Makes a difficult process easier to deal with

Casey Sanders and his paralegal Karrey were a dream to work with. Recently went through a divorce and I don’t think the process could have been easier than these two made it for me. Questions were always answered quickly and I feel I was given real, reasonable advice and realistic expectations.

An awesome family law!

I have nothing but high praise for Casey Sanders and McKinley Irvin. He is very professional and very experienced in his work, not to mention quickly addressing issues and answering all of my questions throughout the process. Working with Casey as my attorney was a easy and pleasant process; the who...le firm seems to be pretty good at what they do! From the initial time I spoke with Casey Sanders to the time that papers were served to protect myself and my child from a dangerous situation was completed in less than 48 hours. That is INCREDIBLY fast, especially since it had to go through court and sign & review multiple revisions of paperwork, due to the awesome efforts of Casey Sanders, Wendy Murray, and his team. Casey is an excellent attorney to have on your side. I would hate to be opposing council fighting against him. My experience has been hands down more than I could have asked for. I felt like he was truly understanding of the issues going on and the urgency of the situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Precise and professional

I interviewed a few highly recommended lawyers in town before I talked to Casey Sanders. I chose Casey because I felt respected and knew that he was not going to treat me as another divorce case but as a mother who was desperately trying to keep my child safe. I was very concerned about how this woul...d affect my child. In what could have escalated into a volatile situation, Casey stayed professional and compassionate. He advocated for my child's emotional and physical stability and safety. As a working professional, I am very detail oriented myself and was concerned about being able to parent, stay focused at my job and handle my divorce. I was able to accomplish all that because Casey is a good communicator, had very good resources and kept me in the loop. He is not impulsive but is decisive and confident about the choices that we had to make. My child’s father hired the most expensive and experienced attorneys in town but Casey was able to present my truth and my concerns very precisely. I am very grateful for Casey’s involvement in my case and I recommend him without any reservation.

Underskilled, Unprofessional, Unprepared

Casey is not skilled enough to handle complicated cases. And I was overcharged excessively because he was not skilled enough. At one point he needed to consult an additional attorney because he didn’t’ understand what to do. I found myself, many times, repeating to Casey the details of my evidence... presented. Casey still could not understand, or would not properly research, which allowed the opposing party to be dishonest. Even after I would send detailed information, multiple times, having to pay each time I did so, Casey still lacked knowledge that was pertinent to this case. Because Casey was unprepared, and not skilled enough, the opposing counsel was able to get an unjust financial judgment against me. The judgment was because of Casey's underperformance in properly researching what was sent to him as evidence, and being prepared to counter the false attacks by opposing counsel. Casey would not provide paperwork, that needed to be reviewed by me, and submitted, until the last possible date, and usually only two hours until the courts would close. This was not enough time for me to review and correct all the mistakes and missing information. This left me stuck. When I informed Casey of all the information missed, Casey would just remind me that he sent over the documents for me to review and I should have brought up the concern at that time. Casey said he was not concerned for court though and believed he knew the information he needed to know. Opposing counsel saw these weaknesses and was able to exploit them, though I can’t blame them for doing so. Please do not use Casey Sanders if you are needing an attorney that will pay very close attention to details, or if you have a complicated case, or if the opposing counsel is highly skilled in deceit tactics, because Casey Sanders will leave you frustrated, and broke. Casey simply is not skilled enough to handle these types of cases. I will not use Casey Sanders, nor will I use McKinley Irvin firm in the future. I do believe that Casey is skilled enough to handle very simple, cookie cutter, situations.
