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 ( ) 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.

Hire Debra Morse!
I hired Debra to represent me when my divorce went from uncontested to contested. Thankfully I wasn't too late. Instantly I was impressed with her level of professionalism.

After only contacting one other a...

Custody Modification - don't try to do it on your own!
We hired Debra after attempting to do a Custody Modification without representation. NOT a good idea to go it alone! Debra took things into hand with a no-nonsense, go get 'em attitude. She did a thorough job for us, and we ended up with full custody and a new Parenting Plan that is excellent! She al...
"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.

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 is a highly competent and very professional attorney. She has strong courtroom skills and is well respected in the legal community."
"Debra is a professional and fierce advocate who aims to settle cases but is not afraid to litigate them."
