The Sayles Law Firm

United States 2025

Overview

After decades of working with some of the most recognized firms and respected legal minds in the nation, and experiencing the challenges and fulfillment of building a firm from the ground up with great friends and partners, I’ve determined that the next phase of my career is forging a new path.

I’ve established this firm to offer my skills as a courtroom advocate and strategist with the freedom and flexibility of an independent resource.

Through this approach I am prepared to play any number of roles in supporting the colleagues and cases that I believe in, whether as:

  • An active member of a trial team
  • A key advisor in litigation
  • An expert witness
  • A mock trial participant
  • Another capacity where my experience and judgment may be of value.

I will also consider serving as a mediator or arbitrator for complex cases with the consent of the litigants or as a court-appointed master.
