About James Wendt

James Wendt earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from Eastern Michigan University in 2007, where he was honored as both the "Most Outstanding Junior Class Business Student" and "Most Outstanding Senior Class Business Student." He then pursued his legal education at Wayne State University Law School, graduating in the top 15% of his class and receiving accolades for his excellence in legal research and writing.

Before joining the Mike Morse Law Firm in January 2012, James operated a private practice specializing in domestic litigation and criminal defense. At the firm, he initially focused on litigation, handling depositions, court hearings, and mediation. Over time, he transitioned to pre-litigation, aiming to prepare cases thoroughly and settle them efficiently, achieving settlements as high as $500,000 without resorting to lawsuits.

In addition to his legal work, James is passionate about mentoring and training new paralegals in the firm's pre-litigation department. Outside of his professional commitments, he enjoys spending quality time with his family, exploring Michigan's breweries, fishing, and engaging in outdoor activities.
