About Cole Thomas
Cole Thomas Schmidt earned his law degree from Michigan State University College of Law in 2014. He completed the curriculum at a time when courts and insurers were adjusting to shifts in tort law and health-care reimbursement. The degree launched a practice rooted in client advocacy and courtroom work.
After law school he established his career in Michigan. He is licensed to practice in the state and began working in personal injury law soon after graduation. In 2018 he joined Mike Morse Injury Law Office, taking on cases that ranged from motor vehicle collisions to workplace injuries. The firm’s caseload exposed him to high-volume litigation and complex settlement negotiations.
Schmidt’s day-to-day work combines courtroom appearances and client counseling. He runs depositions, prepares motions, and handles pretrial strategy. He also spends time on case development: reviewing medical records, consulting experts, and structuring demand packages intended to maximize recovery for injured clients. He approaches each file with a practical eye. He gauges liability, damages, and settlement value early and adjusts tactics as a case evolves.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in the office and assertive in court. He has worked under the firm’s senior trial attorneys and has had the chance to argue motions and appear at mediations. Those experiences have shaped how he frames liability and damages for juries and negotiating parties. Outside the courtroom he communicates with clients about medical timelines, the settlement process, and potential trial outcomes in direct, plain language.
Today he practices at Mike Morse Injury Law Office. He has been part of the firm’s team since 2018 and continues to handle personal injury matters in Michigan. His practice focuses on representing people who have suffered injuries in accidents and pursuing recovery through settlement or trial on their behalf.
