Southfield attorney Mike Morse's TV commercials always claim "Mike Wins." But a lawsuit filed by State Farm tries to portray him as a cheater, not a winner.
Robert Snell of the The Detroit News reports:
Detroit Police officers funneled unofficial accident reports to personal injury lawyer Mike Morse during a scheme that cheated State Farm Automobile Insurance Co. out of at least $1 million, the insurer alleges.
Federal court records describe a scheme involving a stream of police reports flowing to Morse and his Southfield law firm from bribed police officers and a middleman using the alias "Lou."
The allegations, aired in a civil lawsuit filed by State Farm, provide new details about the scheme's inner workings. State Farm leveled the allegations Oct. 17, five days after a lawyer said the FBI and a federal grand jury are investigating a bribery conspiracy involving Morse's firm.
