Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Saunders is a great attorney and he cares about his clients wellbeing. He was honest and let me know my options so that I could make the best decision for my situation. He didn’t give up and he fought til the end.
An amazing lawyer! Knows how to explain everything and talk everything clearly always tries the hardest!
Mr. Saunders is a great attorney! He puts in long hours and is very attentive to his clients. He gives them a clear view of what’s going on with their case. His honesty and dedication can’t be overlooked. I give him 5 stars.
CAPABLE, COMPETENT, BORN FIGHTER!!! Are the characteristics that I would use to define Taso, after I witnessed him methodically break down the Prosecution’s case at my preliminary hearing, ultimately forcing them to quit and drop my felony charge. I’ve been in trouble with the justice system in the state of Virginia more times than I could count and I’ve never had a lawyer, paid or otherwise work with me, and listen to me to achieve the desired outcome of my case. With Taso, this is what you will get every time.
Mr Saunders was appointed to my case once my original attorney retired. He was a tremendous blessing to me. I was throughly informed on the process of how things would go. I am very pleased with the outcome of my situation.
Taso Saunders was appointed to my case after 3 prior attorneys told me that with the time I was facing it was not looking good and that it was better to take a plea. Mr. Saunders visited me frequently, prepared diligently, and when the trial came he advocated passionately for me. He is a rare attorney and person whose thoughts are always on the service he provides to his clients, always seeking to expand and improve it, taking no thought for the money. When you work with Taso Saunders you find yourself working with a man of unshakeable resolve and integrity because it comes from the roots of is soul. He is an excellent attorney that I have come admire and respect a great deal. To me, Taso Saunders was not only a lawyer, he was an advocate, and became a friend.
Mr. Taso is very professional and gets straight to business when it comes to his work. I would refer anyone to him that's how much confidence I have in him.
Being someone who's needed legal representation a few times, I would have to say that Taso has by far been my best experience. Taso is professional, diligent, and works hard to get his clients the desired results. I initially used Taso for a criminal matter; however, after seeing how much effort he put in to his work, I ended up using him on Child Custody matters as well; and still was not displeased! If I was able to leave a longer review i would. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!
Words cannot truly express my gratefulness for Taso's excellent work on my Son's case Taso Saunders recently represented my son on a felony charge. This was a very challenging case He kept us informed throughout the entire process always answering my questions or concerns very promptly. Taso is a very professional, caring, understanding, and compassionate attorney. Any phone calls we made to him were answered, be it late at night or even on the weekend, and we were impressed with the level of professionalism he consistently provided. Only a few attorneys like him that show genuine concern and dedication to this practice. He is very professional and with excellent work ethics. Very knowledgeable and smart. Words cannot truly express my gratefulness for Taso's excellent work on my son's case. Taso fought for what he believed was fair and it paid off. I am very proud to recommend Taso Saunders to anyone who needs a thoughtful and knowledgeable lawyer. We could not be happier w
I truly wish I could echo the glowing reviews about Taso Saunders, but my family’s experience has been the complete opposite. In my personal opinion, the level of communication and support we received was extremely disappointing. Despite calling the office more than ten times, emailing multiple times, and even texting the number provided to us, we have received virtually no response. Each time I reached out, staff simply said they would “pass the message along,” yet nothing ever came of it. From my perspective, it felt like constant runaround with no real engagement or follow-through. My son is scheduled for sentencing this Thursday, and to the best of my knowledge, he has not had any meaningful contact from his attorney. I understand that lawyers are busy, but communication and presence—especially before sentencing—are basic expectations when someone hires legal counsel. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this attorney. I strongly encourage others to consider alternatives
