About

I am a lifelong resident of Kenton County, Kentucky. My wife Meredith and I live in Fort Wright with our two children. I graduatd from the University of Kentucky in 2000. While at UK, I was a member of the Wildcats varsity baseball team.  I was named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll each semester at UK and earned my B.A. degree, Summa Cum Laude, in Political Science.  I then earned my Juris Doctor degree, Cum Laude, from the Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, California. After graduating from law school, I began my career practicing personal injury law with my family's firm in Covington. I joined Rittgers & Rittgers in July 2021, where I focus my law practice on trucking litigation and other cases involving serious, catastrophic, life-altering injuries.I served as a felony prosecutor for about three years in the Kenton Commonwealth's Attorney's Office. In that role, I successfully prosecuted many different kinds of criminals, including burglars, fugitives from justice, thieves, child abusers, and murderers. I enjoy being active in my community and have a strong commitment to public service.  I have spent a total of fifteen years as a volunteer with the American Youth Foundation (“AYF”), serving as a counselor and staff member at the organization’s annual National Leadership Conference in Shelby, Michigan. The mission of the AYF is to encourage and educate young people to find and develop their personal best, live a balanced life, and make a positive impact in their communities and the wider world.  I also helped launch the A.J. Cohen Memorial Fund, an Ohio charity dedicated to educating high school and college students about fire safety and prevention.

We contacted Mr. Sanders and his firm through a referral when we were involved in an auto accident in 2018. Throughout the two years that it took to settle our case, Mr Sander's always was available for us to contact even after hours and on weekends. He showed genuine concern and compassion for us and everything we had been going through due to the accident. Justin comforted us and helped us to completely trust him through the many times he would explain and discuss every little detail during the time of trying to reach a fair settlement in our behalf. He was straight forward with his answers and stayed in contact with us constantly either through our office visits with him, or by phone calls or emails. We would be willing to recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for auto accident cases. Thank you Mr. Sanders for everything you have done for us.

My husband Sam, was injured in a truck accident, and Justin Sanders was our attorney. This was our first experience with an attorney, and we found Justin to be knowledge, kind, and patient. He gave us good advice and took his time to fully understand and explain our case. Previously, I had my own thoughts about attorneys, but he totally changed my mind! We would highly recommend Mr. Sanders to anyone who is looking for a good attorney.

First time I needed to use an attorney in this capacity. I was not sure what to do or what questions to ask, but Mr. Sanders guided me through this ordeal, and I could not be happier with the time and conclusion of my case.

The best lawyer I've ever delt with I wouldn't dare hire anybody else he takes care of eveything just when you think you are forgetting something to bring to court or say In court he's got you covered. I'd take all my problems to justin because I know he has answers or will find the answer for me and come out on top. One love you are a great lawyer I'd go to court with you on your worse day.
