In 2003, Mr. Anderson began his career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Kings County District Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Anderson was assigned to the "Red Zone" which was the most violent and busiest division in the office. Mr. Anderson's primary assignment was violent crimes ranging from Robberies to Homicide. Mr. Anderson was cross designated with the Vehicular Crimes Division where he handled repeat DWI Offenders and Vehicular Manslaughter cases. During his time in Brooklyn, Mr. Anderson was promoted to Senior Trial Attorney for conducting dozens of felony and countless misdemeanor jury trials.

In 2008, Mr. Anderson joined the Montgomery County State's Office as an Assistant State's Attorney. During his time in Montgomery County Mr. Anderson was assigned to the Down County Felony Division, Special Victim's Investigation Division, Major Crimes Division, Manslaughter by Motor Vehicle Team and the General Felony Unit as a Deputy Team Leader. Mr. Anderson's assignment consisted of handling the most complex and difficult violent crimes in the County as well as any and all complex automobile manslaughter cases.
