About Michael J.
Michael J. Morse earned his law degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 1995 after completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Arizona in 1992. He arrived in the Michigan legal community in the mid-1990s equipped with a traditional legal education and a background in business studies. Those academic years shaped the practical approach he would take to litigation and office management later in his career.
Early in his career he built a practice that grew into his own firm. He is the owner of Mike Morse Law Office and has maintained offices under the Mike Morse Injury Law Office name. Over time he expanded responsibilities beyond private practice. He has served as a Case Evaluator Specialist for the State of Michigan, a role that placed him in a quasi-judicial position reviewing and assessing disputes brought before the state.
Morse has also spent time in the classroom. He has taught at the University of Detroit School of Law, bringing practical litigation experience into an academic setting. That blend of practice and teaching reflects a career that moves between courtroom work and legal education. He has held public appointments as well, including membership on the state Board of Chiropractors from 2006 to 2010, a post he received during the administration of Governor Jennifer Granholm.
Professional associations have been a steady part of his profile. He has belonged to the Michigan State Bar Association since the early 1990s and holds membership in the American Association for Justice. Between 2000 and 2012 he served on the executive board of the Michigan Association for Justice. In 2019 he was listed among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers, a designation that appears on his roster in subsequent years.
His legal practice is rooted in Michigan. The names of his offices reflect an emphasis on personal injury representation, and his public roles indicate familiarity with administrative and evaluative processes in state government. He balances client work, case evaluation duties, and occasional teaching assignments, maintaining a presence in both the courtroom and the lecture hall.
As of 2026 he continues to practice law in Michigan and manages the operations of his firm. He currently concentrates his practice on personal injury and civil litigation matters in the state of Michigan.
