About Anne Bachle

Anne Bachle Fifer built a career that bridges classroom and courthouse. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from St. Mary’s College and completed her law degree at the University of Michigan Law School in 1983. The Michigan diploma set the course for a steady legal career that has spanned decades.

She was admitted to the Michigan bar in 1983. Early years after law school included both practice and roles in legal education. By 1996 she established her own practice, operating as the Office of Anne Bachle Fifer. Running a small, independent office required handling the full sweep of daily operations: client intake, case management, and legal drafting.

Teaching entered her professional life alongside private practice. As an adjunct professor at Trinity Law School she joined the faculty ranks to teach law students. Those semesters in the classroom gave her a chance to explain legal doctrine, oversee research, and evaluate practical skills. Students saw a practitioner who brought real-world examples into class discussions.

Her work blends practical tasks and academic duties. Managing a solo office has meant long-term relationships with clients and steady attention to procedural detail. Teaching has required keeping course material current and presenting complex ideas clearly. Together these roles shaped an approach that values clarity, preparation, and steady advocacy.

Outside of firm life, she has maintained professional ties within Michigan’s legal community. Her record shows continuous membership beginning in 1983. That continuity suggests familiarity with local rules and court practices, and it positions her among colleagues who practice across the state.

Today she continues to practice law from the Office of Anne Bachle Fifer in Michigan while advising and teaching emerging lawyers. Her current practice focuses on providing legal counsel and representation from her own office in Michigan.
