Renee L. Spieckermann
Founder and Principal Attorney
Renee L. Spieckermann began her legal career 18 years ago as a file clerk after graduating from UCLA. From there, she quickly became a paralegal, and ultimately attended law school at Loyola Marymount.
Although she started in general litigation, Renee always felt drawn to the trusts and estate practice area. As a child she saw the powerful impact a knowledgeable and caring attorney had on the administration of her grandmother's trust and the positive effect it had on her mother as a trustee; ever since then she has had a desire to help others in a similar way.
After transitioning to the trusts & estates practice area of law in 2012, Renee focused her efforts on addressing the needs clients have for personal attention while maintaining reasonable legal fees. She values offering clients quality legal advice with a compassionate spirit that she feels this practice area requires. Renee also believes in the importance of continuing education, and in 2016 she completed her LLM degree which allows her to know the ins and outs of tax law.
Aside from owning and operating her own firm, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, hiking in the mountains of Santa Clarita, reading, watching sitcoms, playing games with friends, and fitting in travel when she can.
