About Timothy E.
Timothy E. Angley has spent more than two decades practicing law in Massachusetts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He returned to his family firm as partner in 2012 and has since been a fixture at Angley & Angley, Lawyers at Law. His path to partnership began with a steady climb through a mix of private firms and national practice.
Angley earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 1999 after beginning law studies in 1995. The Suffolk degree set the stage for a career that combined litigation work and firm-side counsel. He is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and to the First Circuit, which has shaped the appellate contours of some of his work.
His legal career started in 1995 as a clerk at Gillis & Angley, Counsellors at Law, a practical beginning that kept him close to the issues and clients the firm handled. After law school he joined Howrey LLP as a staff lawyer in 2000. That experience exposed him to broader litigation practices and to the operations of a larger national office.
In 2001 he returned to Gillis & Angley as an associate. He took on matters that ranged across civil litigation and firm advisory work. In 2004 he served as special counsel, a role that involved handling discrete, often complex matters for clients who needed targeted legal attention. The steady accumulation of that experience led to his elevation to partner at Angley & Angley in 2012.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic. He prefers clear legal analysis over grand strategy talk. His work reflects attention to procedural detail and client-ready solutions. He has handled matters that required both trial preparation and appellate briefing. The mix of trial and appellate practice is a recurring theme in his career.
He remains based at Angley & Angley, Lawyers at Law. He maintains professional memberships in legal associations and participates in the local bar community. He continues to accept client matters and to supervise firm litigation and appellate work, handling cases for clients in Massachusetts and before the First Circuit.
