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.

Federal Court rejects effort to rescind policy

DateMonday, February 7, 2011 at 8:20PM

In Federated Life Insurance Company v. Jafreh, the life insurance company attempted to rescind a policy over six years after it was issued. The insurance company claimed the insured had misrepresented his health status in the policy application.  Both the District Judge in Houston and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected this effort and found the insurance company liable for the benefits along with 18% penalty interest.
