Canon J Thomas

Hi, I'm Canon Thomas.

Attorney

I became a lawyer because I believe that when someone has been seriously injured through no fault of their own, they deserve more than an insurance company looking for the cheapest way to close a claim. They deserve an advocate who will prepare relentlessly, tell their story effectively, and fight for the full compensation the law provides.

As an attorney at Mike Morse Law Firm, I represent individuals who have been injured in automobile collisions, trucking crashes, premises liability incidents, and other negligence cases throughout Michigan. I approach every case with the expectation that it could ultimately be tried before a jury. That mindset shapes every stage of my work—from investigating the facts and developing the evidence to taking depositions, working with medical experts, and preparing persuasive legal arguments.

My commitment to advocacy began long before I entered the courtroom. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, where I developed an entrepreneurial mindset and co-founded ReliveTheBAR, an organization dedicated to mentorship and strengthening connections between students and alumni. I went on to graduate magna cum laude from Western State College of Law, where I served as President of the Student Bar Association, Business Editor of the Law Review, and competed in both mock trial and moot court. Those experiences taught me the value of preparation, leadership, and persuasive advocacy, all principles that continue to guide my practice today.

Before joining Mike Morse Law Firm, I founded and operated my own law practice, representing clients in both Michigan and California. Building a practice from the ground up gave me a deep appreciation for the trust clients place in their attorney. I understand that every case represents someone whose life has been disrupted by an injury, and I never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with representing them.

The most rewarding part of my work is helping clients regain stability after life-changing events. Whether negotiating with an insurance company or preparing for trial, my goal is to make sure every client knows they have an attorney who is fully invested in their case and committed to achieving the best possible outcome.

Outside the office, I enjoy following Michigan athletics, staying active, and spending time with my wife and son.
