Mr. Landers is a former prosecutor with significant jury trial experience. He has handled hundreds of criminal cases as an Assistant State Attorney and represented the State of Florida at more than 20 jury trials.

Therefore, he decided to resign from his position and began helping people who were in legal trouble. Mr. Landers is a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law where he was awarded the Litigation Skills Faculty Scholarship Award. This honor is given out by a panel of local judges and attorneys who work with the law students to develop the skills needed to be a great litigator.
