What We Fight For

Civil Rights Litigation
The Constitution doesn't stop at the prison gate.
Courtney Sanders represents individuals and families in serious civil rights cases involving Mississippi private prisons and jails — including inmate assaults, failure to protect, inadequate medical care, serious injuries, and deaths in custody. Mississippi contracts with private corporations like MTC to run facilities such as East Mississippi Correctional Facility and Wilkinson County Correctional Center. When those corporations cut corners to boost profits, people die. We hold them accountable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Eighth Amendment. These cases are handled on contingency — no fee unless we recover.
- Inmate death in custody
- Failure to protect from assault
- Denial of medical care
- § 1983 civil rights claims
- Private prison accountability

Criminal Defense
Charged doesn't mean guilty. You deserve a fierce defense.
A criminal charge can upend your life, your career, and your family. Courtney Sanders provides aggressive, strategic criminal defense for individuals facing misdemeanor and felony charges in Hinds, Rankin, and Madison County courts. From the moment you're charged, you need an attorney who will protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and fight for the best possible outcome — whether that's a dismissal, reduced charges, or acquittal at trial. Criminal defense fees are discussed directly during your consultation — this is not a contingency fee practice area.
- DUI / DWI
- Domestic violence
- Misdemeanor defense
- Serious felony charges
- Expungement of dismissed charges

Criminal Defense
What Criminal Defense Looks Like at Sanders Law
Criminal defense is not just about fighting charges at trial. It is about protecting your record, your rights, and your future — from the moment you are charged.
Fee note: Criminal defense fees are set at the time of engagement and discussed directly with Courtney Sanders. This practice area does not operate on a contingency basis.
DUI & Domestic Violence
DUI and domestic violence charges carry serious consequences — license suspension, mandatory programs, and a permanent record. We challenge the stop, the test, and the evidence to protect your future.
Misdemeanors & Serious Felonies
From shoplifting to armed robbery, every charge deserves a serious defense. We analyze the evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and take cases to trial when necessary.
Expungement & Self-Defense
A dismissed charge or a justified act of self-defense should not follow you forever. We handle expungements and self-defense claims — including Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground — across Mississippi.
Important Notice
If a Loved One Died or Was Seriously Injured in a Mississippi Prison
Evidence inside correctional facilities — surveillance video, incident reports, medical records — can disappear quickly. If you believe the death or injury may have been preventable, contact us as soon as possible. Time matters.
