Client Testimonials

"My family was referred to Michael Young by an attorney friend in Austin. My elderly mother was involved in a federal court lawsuit involving over a million dollars of life insurance proceeds through an ERISA plan.  Michael filed a motion to dismiss the case and the other side responded by agreeing to a settlement very favorable to my mother. My family was pleased by Michael's aggressive representation and his prompt responses to our questions. I would recommend Michael and the firm of Sanders, O'Hanlon & Motley to anyone involved in a dispute regarding life insurance benefits or the distribution of an estate." Rafael S., Hunt County.

"Michael took careful measurement of our case, asked the right questions, and respected the sensitivity of the situation.  At the end of the day, this is the type of person you want working on your side. He also worked outside of normal business hours to accommodate our busy work schedules. Despite such a stressful and frankly sad time, J. Michael Young was a strong source of support, and helped us figure out the right course of action."  -Shaun,  Travis County.

David Firm, Goliath Impact

At Sanders, O'Hanlon & Motley, a substantial percentage of our cases come from referrals from the people who know cases best -- other professionals. We are grateful for that recognition by our peers and their selection of Roger Sanders, our senior partner, as a Texas Super Lawyer, an honor reserved for only the top 5% of all lawyers in Texas. That recognition comes from others appreciating that we take on the big guys for our clients. We strive to be a David firm with Goliath impact.

Whether it's insurance disputes, complex business, or estate litigation,  we have Texas litigation lawyers who can help. Our small firm atmosphere gives clients access to lawyers and paralegals who return calls and get the job done. We are often outnumbered by larger firms, not out-gunned.  And with the highest quality and ethics rating -- AV -- given to firms of any size by national legal rating specialist Martindale Hubbell, we believe we can match quality lawyer per lawyer with any other firm in the areas where we are willing to take cases.

Our commitment is to seek the justice you deserve with a quality staff dedicated to serving clients who often feel like fish out of water. We understand that coming to a lawyer is not something most folks enjoy. But if you need a lawyer, we'll do our best to provide straight forward legal advice, creative ways to deal with legal problems, and tough-minded lawyers.  Our team could be a good fit for your case.

While we handle most cases in-house, we also joint venture cases through long-standing relationships with attorneys and law firms located throughout the country.   We'll help you evaluate whether your case is worth pursuing, considering your  challenges, resources, and time limitations.  The best results generally come when the lawyer and client  work together as a team. 

Of course, we can't offer guarantees of a particular result.  Cases vary, clients vary, judges and juries vary.  But we can promise our best effort, honest and forthright advice on possible risks and results, and an initial consultation at no-charge on contingency matters.
