About James
James Wendt built his academic foundation in business before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Eastern Michigan University, then attended Wayne State University Law School, receiving his J.D. in 2011. Those years framed his approach to client work: practical, matter-of-fact, and attuned to the procedural demands of litigation.
He began his legal career soon after law school. In 2012 he joined the Mike Morse Injury Law Office. Early assignments put him on intake and case preparation work. He spent time in several of the firm’s office locations, assisting senior attorneys and gaining courtroom exposure. That period gave him steady, hands-on experience in client interviews, medical record review, and drafting pleadings.
Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure. He has handled routine motions and discovery tasks as well as client counseling for injured people and their families. He maintains current membership in professional organizations, which he uses to stay informed about procedural rules and litigation trends in Michigan.
Wendt’s background in business administration informs his case-handling. He approaches damages calculations and settlement evaluations with attention to detail. He is comfortable working through medical bills, lost-wage documentation, and other facts that drive personal injury claims. In the office, he has been responsible for coordinating with medical providers, negotiating with insurers, and preparing materials for trial when cases do not settle.
Over time his work expanded from support roles into more substantive legal responsibilities. He has taken depositions and argued motions in state court. Those responsibilities reflect a steady progression rather than rapid promotion. His career path shows accumulation of courtroom experience and increasing responsibility for client-facing tasks.
Today he practices at the Mike Morse Injury Law Office in Michigan. His work remains concentrated on personal injury matters, handling case development, negotiations, and trial preparation for clients who have been injured. He continues to represent clients through all phases of such cases, from initial intake through resolution.
