About Austin
Austin Bruce took a direct route into law after studying politics and public affairs. He earned a B.S. in Political Science from Michigan State University and went on to receive his J.D. from Wayne State University Law School in 2019. Those years shaped his understanding of institutions and the rules that govern public life. They also set the stage for the practical work he has taken on since law school.
He joined Mike Morse Injury Law Office in 2021 and has practiced there as a lawyer. At the firm he has handled a range of matters tied to injury claims and client advocacy. He works on case preparation, client interviews, and the negotiation phases that often determine outcomes outside of trial. Colleagues describe him as methodical; he tends to break complicated facts down into clear pieces for juries and opposing counsel.
Bruce is licensed to practice law in Michigan. He represents clients across the state and appears in state courts as needed. The work often involves gathering medical records, coordinating with experts, and filing suit where appropriate. Those tasks are routine at trial-oriented plaintiff firms, and he has taken on them since joining the firm in 2021.
He maintains current memberships in professional organizations. The memberships keep him connected to developments in case law and procedural practice. He attends continuing education programs and participates in in-house trainings to stay current on changes in tort law and evidence rules. Those activities inform how he prepares cases and counsels clients.
His day-to-day combines client contact and case management. Some days are spent drafting motions and responding to discovery requests. Other days are spent meeting clients, visiting treatment providers, or consulting with medical experts. He covers matters at multiple firm offices and coordinates with local counsel when cases extend beyond a single venue.
Outside of the office, Bruce’s background in political science informs a practical approach to litigation. He tends to prioritize clear legal theory and factual presentation over rhetoric. He currently practices personal injury law at Mike Morse Injury Law Office in Michigan.
