About Angela Ghannam
Hello, I'm Angela Ghannam, a dedicated family law attorney licensed in the State of Michigan since 2009. I am a proud graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy, where I earned both my undergraduate degree and my Juris Doctor from its School of Law. In addition to my legal education, I have received specialized training in mediation and collaborative divorce through the Institute of Continuing Legal Education.
My commitment to excellence in family law has been recognized by Thompson Reuters, which selected me as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021—an honor awarded to less than 2.5% of attorneys in Michigan. Beyond my legal practice, I am passionate about serving my community. I have participated on the advisory board of a local women’s business council, served as the President of the local Bar Association from 2015 to 2016, and contributed to the Henry Ford Community College Paralegal Program advisory board. Additionally, I am an advocate for animal welfare, volunteering with the Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit (FAMD) and fostering animals in need.
When talking to me about the law, you will quickly find that I communicate with both clarity and conviction. Knowledgeable and passionate, I am a naturally adept communicator, known for my expertise and expressive communication style. I instinctively seek areas of agreement, listening beyond what is spoken, anticipating needs, and always finding the right words and tone for each client. I understand at a fundamental level that unnecessary conflict benefits no one, so I strive to minimize friction while still advocating fiercely for my clients.
My naturally competitive spirit drives me to continuously improve in all aspects of my personal and professional life, holding both myself and others to high standards. This competitive nature is also what makes me an effective advocate—when a situation calls for stepping into the fight, I don’t hesitate. I am committed to leading my clients to the best possible outcome, always with strategy, determination, and a focus on success.
Clients, friends, and family all benefit from my personal “top five” values: family, growth, leisure, love, and security, which guide me daily. When I’m not practicing law, you’ll find me biking—outdoors whenever possible or indoors when the weather doesn’t cooperate. I’m also a self-proclaimed foodie and subscribe to just about every food blog in existence!
I am honored to help my clients navigate legal challenges with confidence, and I look forward to the opportunity to assist you.
