I had a phenomenal experience with Zoe; she possesses not only a breadth of knowledge across all spectrums of law; but also persistence, dedication, and commitment to each client she represents.

She provided excellent advice regarding my long-term disability claim, including lengthy legal research and sound advice as to how to proceed.

As the CEO of a public company engaged in a highly regulated business, I had the great pleasure of working with Zoe Sanders in defending my company against an attempt by the State of South Carolina to, essentially, destroy our business in South Carolina. The stakes were very high -- literally the survival of the business. Zoe won a complete and total victory of the kind where you hear the lamentations of your enemy as you count coups at your victorious campfire. After threatening us with extinction and on the verge of trial, she made the State of South Carolina Department of Revenue back down, terminate the cause of action, settle on a basis completely favorable to us. She won such a convincing victory as to be beyond belief. Not just in making the SC DOR back down on the verge of trial but on many interim rulings in which her knowledge of the courts, the laws, the Judges put us -- from Texas -- on an equal footing as the home team. She is smart as Hell, clever, a brilliant strategic and tactical thinker, well-connected, experienced, and a legal force to be reckoned with. She is an unabashed advocate for your interest, a legal assassin. If I were to undertake any legal matter in the State of South Carolina, she would be the first person I would call. She is personable, articulate, thoughtful, honest, persuasive, and makes the client-attorney relationship fun and pleasant. She wins which is the important thing, is it not?

Zoe Sanders has been a boon of support for me throughout a very difficult time in our family. She represented me in probate court and has consistently given me excellent advice. I trust Ms. Sanders completely. She has handled my year long, ongoing case to perfection. My family and I chose the best of the best, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes.

Zoe Sanders represented me with almost no time to prepare for my case. It was an emergency legal situation. Ms. Sanders went the extra mile and made every arrangement necessary to get a great result in my case. I was very impressed and would strongly recommend her for any legal case she is willing to engage.
