Free Consultation
$0 first 30 minutes
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.

Debra is amazing
Debra is a shark. In the beginning I was beyond stressed out with our situation. Debra provided us with a free consultation and during that I knew I were in good hands. I don't want to get into the specifics of the case, but in the end we were satisfied with the judgment and what we settled on with t...

She's tough and that is what we needed!
I am an active duty military mom and needed to start from scratch a child custody/support case about my then 7 year old son. It was a very long and VERY frustrating for me, but I don't know what I would have done without her to walk me through everything! There was nothing I couldn't go over with her...

She is Awesome
I hired Debra after calling several lawyers. She answered the phone the first time I called. She is very on point, earnest, and gets things done! My divorce started several years ago and my ex husband stalled it out forever. He showed up to court completely unprepared. Debra was on point with al...

I am a dad with full custody of my children after a divorce and relocation. That alone should tell you what class of lawyer Debra is. In my case, I paid her for advice, information, help with collecting child support, and help reviewing my divorce and relocation paperwork. I value that information a...

Superior service
Ms. Morse represented my high conflict divorce resolution. She was very compassionate in dealing with all of the issues that I had. What started out as a simple divorce case soon escalated to a case which involved domestic violence, tax fraud and a lengthly custody dispute. She was able to settle ...
"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.

"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."
