Morse, Fritts Form New Firm

Jacob Morse and Spencer Fritts have founded Morse Fritts, PLLC, where they will focus on serving clients with personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, sexual abuse and assault, nursing home neglect and abuse.  

Fritts’ experience includes serving as a judicial law clerk at the North Carolina Court of Appeals for three separate judges on the Court — Judges Ann Marie Calabria, Tobias S. Hampson and John M. Tyson. He also worked at two boutique plaintiff’s law firms, where he concentrated on personal injury work, including wrongful death, motor vehicle collisions, medical negligence, and on-the-job accidents. 

In 2023, he argued before the North Carolina Supreme Court, where he sought to have a law declared unconstitutional that deprived minors injured by medical negligence from having their day in court. Spencer earned his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law.  

Morse’s litigation experience includes representing clients in United States District Courts, North Carolina trial courts, federal and state regulatory investigations, and arbitration venues, including the American Arbitration Association and Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Prior to founding Morse Fritts PLLC, Morse was a member of a consumer class action and complex litigation group at an international law firm. He has also worked at a boutique plaintiff’s law firm and was a member of a commercial litigation practice group at a large regional law firm, where he focused on business-related civil litigation.  

Some of Morse’s prior experience includes representing plaintiffs injured by trucking companies and inebriated or distracted drivers, helping victims of catastrophic medical negligence, and representing a multinational waste management corporation in defense of a class action tort lawsuit. 

Morse graduated cum laude from Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law in Raleigh, where as a member of Campbell Law School’s nationally recognized mock trial team, he earned more individual trial advocacy accolades than any other student in school history. 

Morse and Fritts are both NCAJ NEXT Leadership Program fellows who completed the program in 2022. Fritts is currently serving as chair of NCAJ’s New Lawyers Division.
