About Michael T.
Michael T. Sanderson earned his undergraduate degree in criminal justice from the University of Central Florida in 2012 and completed his law degree at Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2017. His academic record shows a steady progression from a foundation in criminal justice to professional legal training. The shift from a broad public-safety interest to law school set the stage for a career that crosses public service and private practice.
Sanderson’s career began earlier than his college years. He served as Military Police in the U.S. Army in 2003, a role that introduced him to disciplined operations and the practical side of law enforcement. Years later he moved into federal legal work. In 2016 he served as an Assistant Regional Counsel at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office of the General Counsel for Region V in Chicago. That role preceded the formal conferral of his J.D. and exposed him to the regulatory framework that governs federal health programs.
At the Department of Health & Human Services he took part in legal work tied to federal health initiatives and administrative processes. His title indicated responsibilities typical of regional counsel: advising on regulatory compliance, participating in enforcement matters, and assisting in the interpretation of federal statutes and regulations. The position required both the precise reading of statutes and an ability to translate regulatory requirements into actionable advice for program staff.
In 2021 Sanderson joined Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC as an associate lawyer. In private practice he has drawn on his federal experience when advising clients who face regulatory questions or administrative proceedings. The transition to the firm environment broadened his exposure to civil matters that intersect with government regulation, and it placed him in a role where client counseling and litigation support are regular duties.
Those who work with him encounter a lawyer who pays attention to procedural detail and to the practical effects of legal rules. He tends to approach problems by parsing statutory text, mapping regulatory obligations, and identifying concrete steps clients must take to comply. His background in military service, combined with time in a federal counsel’s office, has shaped how he organizes complex matters and prepares records for administrative review.
Sanderson practices out of Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC and continues to handle matters that involve health law, regulatory compliance, and administrative processes. He concentrates his practice on health and regulatory matters, compliance counseling, and administrative law.
