About Angelle M.
Angelle M. Rothis earned a B.S. in economics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, completing her undergraduate work in 1981 after beginning studies in 1978. Her academic background combined quantitative training and policy awareness. That mix informed an early interest in public service and the law.
Her first legal experience came on Capitol Hill, where she held an internship that exposed her to legislative process and constituent advocacy. That early service work led to a courtroom career spanning state, federal and appellate dockets. Over the years she has handled matters in both Michigan and Illinois, appearing in state trial courts, federal district courts and appellate panels. Those appearances have shaped how she approaches preparation and oral argument.
Rothis has maintained active ties to professional groups throughout her career. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan and the Illinois State Bar. She also belongs to the Michigan Association of Justice, the Federal Bar, the Appellate Bar and the Hellenic Bar Association. Those memberships reflect ongoing engagement with peers and evolving practice rules. Colleagues note that her courtroom work often involves extended briefing and multi-layered procedural issues, especially at the appellate level.
Her litigation experience covers a range of procedural settings. She has navigated complex discovery disputes and argued motions in federal and state trial courts. On appeal, she has drafted briefs and presented oral argument to appellate panels, pursuing grounds that include questions of law, procedural fairness and statutory interpretation. Her earlier time around legislative offices contributes to an ability to parse statutory texts and administrative records when cases raise those issues.
Rothis practices at ROTHIS LAW PC. She divides her time between courtroom work and appellate briefing, adapting strategy to the tribunal and the stage of litigation. In Illinois and Michigan she has represented clients in contested civil matters that required close attention to deadlines, evidentiary rulings and preservation of issues for appeal. She is known for steady courtroom presentation and for taking a methodical approach to record development.
Outside the courtroom she has kept ties to the legal community through bar association activities and case work that touches on appellate procedure. Her portfolio combines trial practice and appellate advocacy across two jurisdictions. Her current practice focuses on litigation in state, federal and appellate courts in Michigan and Illinois.
