About Jason A.
Jason A. Morton is admitted to practice in North Carolina, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the Federal Circuit. He appears regularly in written filings before appellate tribunals and is listed to handle matters that carry beyond a single jurisdiction. That regulatory footprint shapes the matters he accepts and the clients he represents.
Morton's early career included courtroom and appellate work across state and federal dockets. He built experience preparing briefs and arguing appeals, often in cases that required an understanding of both state law and federal appellate procedure. Colleagues describe him as precise in legal writing and deliberate in oral argument, preferring a measured strategy over theatrical displays.
He has developed a practice centered on appellate litigation and federal matters. That has led to repeated appearances in the Fourth Circuit and at the Federal Circuit, where questions of federal law and patent-related jurisdiction frequently arise. Morton handles the record review, brief drafting, and oral argument that appeals demand. He also advises trial counsel on steps to preserve issues for appeal.
Morton is based at Webb & Morton PLLC. The firm handles a range of civil matters and deploys appellate tools when cases move beyond trial courts. Within that setting, Morton collaborates with trial lawyers to shape legal strategies that anticipate appellate scrutiny and to manage procedural complexities that affect appellate rights.
Clients and opposing counsel say Morton values clarity. He writes plainly when complex doctrine is at stake. He prepares for argument in ways that aim to make the appellate court’s questions manageable. His work crosses state and federal lines because appellate review often involves overlapping legal standards and procedural thresholds.
Outside specific casework, Morton stays engaged with the practical demands of appellate practice. He attends court regularly in appeals that arise from North Carolina trial courts and federal agencies. He is admitted to practice in the relevant appellate venues and relies on that admission to represent clients at each stage of appellate proceedings. He currently concentrates on appeals and federal court matters.
