Areas Of Practice

Personal Injury

Personal Injury claims can involve injuries that are caused by automobile accidents, motorcycle claims, slip and fall cases, wrongful death claims, product liability claims and any other negligence claim resulting in personal injury to you or your loved one.

Our lawyers are dedicated to making certain that we advocate aggressively for each and every element of your claim including lost wages, past medical bills, future earning loss, the costs associated with lifetime medical care and past and future pain and suffering resulting from the injury itself.

Our lawyers are always available to speak directly with you, the client, about all aspects of your case. Additionally, the firm employs experienced paralegals and legal assistants who are each individually trained in all aspects of personal injury law.

Each client is assigned a specific paralegal who will at all times be intimately familiar with the daily progress of your case. Additionally, a senior paralegal is employed whose job responsibilities include oversight of each paralegal. Thus, with a simple phone call, the client can speak with the individual paralegal assigned the case, the senior paralegal supervising the client’s file and the attorney specifically handling your case.

The division of labor employed by Saunders Law Group assures the client that the client’s phone calls are handled by someone who can speak directly with the client. Specific information is delivered in response to each question. The lawyer talks to the client to answer specific legal issues and to make certain the client’s expectations are met. The Firm understands that the client is the most important element in every claim we handle.

Our objective at Saunders Law Group in every personal injury case is to obtain for the client the maximum monetary recovery possible while at the same time understanding that no amount of money could ever replace for the client the losses associated with injuries caused by the negligence of others.

Medical Malpractice

Perhaps no area of law has come under attack as much as Medical Malpractice claims. Politicians love to blame the high rising costs of medical payments on lawyers while ignoring the plain fact that lawsuits comprise a tiny fraction of the costs associated with medical care in this county.

There is a very short statute of limitations for medical negligence cases which, in most cases, does not exceed two (2) years unless extended or some other specific exception is deemed applicable. We therefore encourage immediate review of your claim to provide sufficient time to go over the matter in fine detail with our highly qualified reviewing nurses, physicians and attorneys.

All too often, someone complains that medical malpractice suits are “frivolous”. Almost universally, this “opinion” disappears once the “frivolous” malpractice suit involves a loved one. Seeing the devastation that can arise from a medical care provider’s negligence, and living with the day to day impacts that will last a lifetime as a result of a moment’s neglect rapidly changes one’s view on the state of medical care in this country.

At Saunders Law Group, we know the law as it relates to the complex area of medical negligence practice. We keep studious pace with the ever changing legislative requirements for prosecuting these serious matters and take a personal interest in the impact each case has on our clients and their families.

These cases are handled on a contingency fee basis where the total costs are advanced by Saunders Law Group and there is no fee or recovery of costs unless we prevail.

The Firm takes great pride in its reputation in this area of the law and welcomes you to come in for a free review of the merits of your claim. Nothing deserves higher attention than that which impacts us the most.

Family Law

Saunders Law Group concentrates a significant portion of its practice on family law matters which include divorce, child custody, child support, alimony claims and adoptions.

The Firm believes that it is in the best interest of most-if not all-families to resolve all of the issues involved in a divorce by settlement rather than asking a Court to make a decision that will affect the rights and obligations of the family. However, a settlement that is fair to all sides requires that the case be properly prepared and this is where the experience gained in actual trial comes in since the client can be assured that the attorneys at Saunders Law Group stand ready to try the case if settlement does not work out. By being fully prepared for trial in the event that settlement becomes impossible, the client is assured that the case is postured for a settlement while being readied, if need be, for the unique talents needed for trial.

Clearly, divorce involves most all of the major emotions a human being can experience and frequently these emotions can cause a person to override logic and practicality in favor of the oftentimes unfavorable decisions that come about as a result of anger or emotional upheaval. Tom and the Saunders Law Group staff have more than 20 years of experience in litigation matters and have seen or been personally involved in most all of the situations that can, unfortunately, arise in a modern divorce. Whether it is the pain of the loss of a loved one, dealing with the unique problems facing children of all ages when the parents are divorcing, or whether it is the financial strains often presented by the dissolution itself, Tom and his staff are always available to provide the client with not only professional advice on the legal issues but guidance in dealing with the understandable emotions that can be brought to the surface in a divorce.
