Debra S. Morse

I interviewed several "big name" lawyers in Pierce County prior to speaking with Debra. Debra was the last person who I spoke to regarding my divorce, it was nothing more than a miracle to find this gem of a person! Debra eased my mind from the start, and it was crystal clear that she was on my sid...e for the best outcome possible. What stood out most, was that she LISTENED to my life and story, taking it all in and planning prior to even hiring her, this is RARE. Debra is HIGHLY intelligent, thorough, and real - I had what should have been a simple divorce escalated by a very spiteful and bitter spouse however Debra was able to see things coming before they even happened, was ALWAYS prepared with a plan, and executed it FLAWLESSLY. She did this while continually making me feel as though I had skin in the game, and that I was in control, driving so to speak. I will say that if you aren't hands on and don't care about your future then Debra might not be for you, she expects a lot out of her clients, which is admirable. When you are a winner like Debra is, you don't take losing lightly, so of course she is going to keep you and your case on track. I would recommend this winner to anyone who wants a close relationship with an attorney, who wants to be informed of everything as it takes place, who wants a winner on their side, and needs someone willing to fight and make sure that the law is being upheld. Debra is lightning fast at returning emails and phone calls, she doesn't take any crap, and she spells things out plainly and simply without sugarcoating, she is an honest gal who truly is passionate about her career and reputation. We never made it to trial, but let me tell you I almost wish we had because of all of the preperation that she did in case we ended up there it undoubtedly would have been lights out so to speak. If you want a fierce, loyal, personable attorney who you can feel comfortable with and even consider a friend as you go through the dark storm of a divorce then go with Debra, you won't regret it.

I'm a 25 year old male with a 3 year old son. I took his mother to court to go for primary custody. Debra ended up getting me Full Custody. She was very organized and knew most of the judges which is always a great plus. I would recommend any parent going for any type of custody battle to go with Deb...ra! She really saved my sons life. She is an attorney who really cares!

I would highly recommend hiring Debra Morse as legal representation. After being served with documents by my ex husband from Washington state, while I was living in South Carolina, I had no choice but to do some digging online to find an attorney who would help me. After only contacting one other a...ttorney's office, I found Ms. Morse online and immediately called her. To my luck, she answered the phone and got right to work helping me. Within our 30 minute free consultation, she learned everything about my case, looked it up online, and basically gave me the spill about what her take on all of it was. After several months of court preparations, I finally ended up with the judgement that I wanted and I couldn't have gotten it without Debra. She was motivated and really showed that she cared about the best interest of my daughter. She is very good at her job and very knowledgable. She got back to me via e-mail or phone call every time I needed her. If an attorney can work with you so well from 3000 miles away, imagine what she can do for you in person!! If you're looking for a great family law attorney, look no further than Debra Morse. Even though attorney fees aren't cheap, you get every dime's worth from Debra and her office. Thank you again, Ms. Morse for all of your hard work and dedication. Let's hope I don't ever need an attorney again, but if I do, I know who I'm calling on.

Debra S. Morse helped me out in 2008 - 2009 in regards to my divorce and property settlement. She was/is extremely knowledgeable regarding family law and really did her homework for me. She always kept me very well informed and explained things in detail both verbally and via letter/email. She was... referred to me by another associate and I have been very blessed to have her on my side. In fact, she did her research and subsequent homework so well, that when my case was approached to be reopened in 2012, there was not a leg to stand on. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Top of the line, professional, and thorough.

Prior to interviewing and retaining Debra, I had another lawyer who handled my initial parenting plan. After the initial parenting plan was complete and my child’s mother and I had our “final parenting plan” I thought “phew, it’s all over with and we can move on with this agreement in place”, boy was... I wrong. Since our final plan we have had two parenting plan modifications, two visits to mediation, one contempt hearing and one police supervised pickup. After thoroughly interviewing three attorneys to replace the first, I decided on Debra. From the get-go Debra developed a long-term strategy for me and my situation. The plan required patience and the ability to remain calm, I am neither. It’s been a long-haul yet Debra has been with me every-step of the way. Although, I cannot say the other parent changed who they are, Debra’s plan worked. My child couldn’t be happier with his living arrangements, our parenting plan has been completely overhauled, all of the nonsense has ceased, and all of the adults in my son’s life are communicating civilly. Thank you Debra for all you have done and I will always be happy to serve you as one of your references.
