Michael Sanders

Firm: Mix Sanders, PLLC
1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200 , Seattle , Washington 98101
Practice Areas: Litigation
After spending the first part of my career as a deputy prosecutor, I made the difficult decision to leave State work behind and to  switch over to civil litigation.  I did this in order to be able to work with and to serve individual clients.  As an attorney engaged primarily in employment and contract law, I have been able to gain a true sense of fulfillment in my work helping businesses as well as individuals to deal with what can often be confusing and challenging circumstances.. Whether the audience is a jury in a courtroom, or a client in an initial consultation, an attorney's primary job is to communicate effectively.  Native ability, drive, and practical experience combine to create the foundation for effective communication and advocacy in any good attorney.  My abilities and my energy have combined with a wealth of trial experience to allow me to become a strong advocate for the interests of my clients.  At the same time, I pride myself in ensuring that my clients are always well-informed on the status of their cases, and that I am always easily accessible to them.
