About

A Vancouver native, I have been admitted to the practice of law in Washington and the Western District of Washington since 1981. My areas of specialization include handling matters involving Social Security Disability and I am a Sustaining member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives (NOSSCR) perhaps the premier claimant's representative organization. My practice focus is on Regular Social Security Disability (DIB or Title II) as well as Supplemental Security Income (SSI or Title XVI) In addition, I maintain an active family law practice. Having done Domestic Law cases since 1981, I have an extensive background in Dissolution of Marriage case, Paternity, Child Support and Custody Modifications both primary and Third Party Custody modifications, Parental Relocation actions as well as Domestic Partnerships. As a founding member of the firm, I feel strongly that the service of law is a profession worth following. The law is a tool to solve problems and disputes in society. Being a lawyer is a way to facilitate positive change and give back to our communities, preserving the fabric of discourse and family life and supporting our growth as people. In some areas of law, emotions and desires may be extremely entwined with our notions of legal rights and our goals. When we first meet clients, they are going into a difficult period. It's a very emotional time, and they are forced to make decisions that will impact the rest of their lives. Part of my task is to provide a sense of grounding in the midst of an extremely emotional state. I hope to provide the compassion my clients deserve while competently performing the legal tasks toward achieving their goals. Everyone deserves to have someone stand with him or her against the power of the government and entrenched corporate interests. It is my intent that our lawyers are not afraid to stand up for you and zealously advocate for your rights.

Me. Morse fully explained the process of divorce and the process of obtaining full custody of my children. He was supportive of why I wanted a divorce and listened to me as I recalled the failed status of my marriage. I feel very confident in his skills and feel he will do a great job for me.

John Morse helped me through a very difficult situation that I went through with a house partner I put on the title after I bought a house... who had to be brought to court and would not do the right thing to resolve the situation. John brought some justice to me through the system and was very knowledgeable and active in resolving the situation. I would recommend him highly for others who are forced to be adversaries with someone who is taking advantage of them. He was up front and knowledgeable about bringing about justice for me and the situation was resolved through his expertise and he stuck up for and fought for my interests and council-ed me on my options.

I hired John Morse to help me navigate some complicated family legal matters. He was highly knowledgeable and was able to communicate in a way so that I understood exactly what was happening and what was going to happen. It was a stressful time and he helped me stay calm and focused on what needed to happen. I would highly recommend him as a family law attorney.
