About Rose Marie
Rose Marie Preddy built a steady legal path that began in the classroom and moved quickly into practice. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan in 1990 and completed her J.D. at Temple University in 1994. Her education placed her at two well-regarded schools and served as the springboard for a career that spans state and federal work.
She entered private practice immediately after law school, joining MacDonald and Goren, PC as an associate in 1994. Those early years were a time of on-the-ground learning. She handled the day-to-day tasks that shape a practicing lawyer: research, drafting, client meetings and court appearances.
In 1997 she moved to Anderson & Stevens, PA, continuing in an associate role. That period lasted until the turn of the century and allowed her to broaden her exposure to different matters and courtroom settings. Colleagues from this phase describe a lawyer comfortable in both written and oral advocacy.
In 2000 she founded Preddy Law Office, P.A. and has served as a partner since. Establishing a firm demanded attention to both casework and the business side of law. Over the years she has overseen litigation files, supervised support staff and managed the administrative duties that accompany running a small firm.
Her bar admissions include Michigan and Florida, and she is admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Those credentials allow her to handle matters that cross state lines and to appear in federal appellate proceedings when necessary. She has practiced across a range of matters encountered by small firms and individual practitioners.
Clients, opposing counsel and judges would describe her as steady and practical in the courtroom. She approaches cases with preparation and an eye for manageable resolutions when they are available. Her office handles filings, hearings and appeals in the jurisdictions where she is admitted. Her current practice focuses on matters arising in Michigan and Florida and before the Eleventh Circuit.
