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.

Super Lawyer, outstanding human being, and a fierce warrior.
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...

The Best.. Hands down!
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...

Experience and enthusiasm that won't let you down!!!
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...

More than a lawyer.
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 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 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."
"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."
