I am the youngest of five children and originally from a small town in Montana. When I was six years old, we moved to England, where I attended school through high school graduation before returning to the U.S. I was fortunate as a child to be exposed to different cultures and languages. I then went to college in San Francisco and eventually moved to Tacoma for law school. I have been here ever since. I enjoy the outdoors, gardening, cooking and travel. I consider myself lucky to be able to do what I enjoy for a living: helping people solve problems, if possible maintaining some perspective and a sense of humor, which I guess are really the same thing. I invite you to check out my web site ( www.debramorselaw.com) for more details on my background, including the extensive mediation training and collaborative law training I took. I hope you find this information helpful. I look forward to being of service. I offer a free 30 minute consult in which we can review your case and begin to plan how to resolve the problem.

I endorse this lawyer. I have had one family law case with Debra. I found her to be diligent, intelligent, well versed in the law and sensitive to the needs of her client. She was always professional and well prepared. She exhibits integrity. Her word is her bond. In a child placement case with allegations flying back and forth, she proposed reasonable solutions in the best interests of the children while strongly advocating for her client.

Debra Morse represents the highest degree of skill and advocacy for her clients. I have found her to be hard working and hard hitting as an opposing attorney. Her reputation in the court and among the best lawyers is superb. I would have no reservations in recommending her to prospective clients.
