Savannah Andre has litigation experience in both probate and civil courts. She handles complex cases relating to trust litigation, will contests, probate litigation, conservatorship disputes, elder abuse restraining order litigation, and civil litigation where she thrives in court and on the battleground of oral argumentation.
Savannah can often be found making appearances in probate court and is quite savvy with the local rules of numerous California Superior Courts throughout the state. Some of these court locations include Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, Alameda, San Joaquin, Fresno, Shasta, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego. She is also well-versed in the local rules of Orange County’s Probate Superior Court, and has an outstanding professional reputation within the Orange County Superior Court as well as with Los Angeles and Riverside. Savannah spends nearly every day in court whether in person or by phone, and enjoys the thrill court experiences provide her with.
Her extensive legal background includes working as a certified law clerk at the San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office where she successfully tried four evidentiary probable cause hearings and secured a held to answer for all four preliminary hearings on all charges alleged. Some of those charges consisted of first- and second-degree burglary, child endangerment, evading arrest, receiving stolen property, and felon in possession.
Savannah also clerked for an Orange County Superior Court judge where she experienced three full-length criminal trials from start to finish, and gained firsthand information and valuable legal knowledge in the eyes of a reputable criminal judge who everyday walked her through each of the trials as those trials progressed.
She also spent two years practicing as a law clerk at a civil litigation firm where she experienced nearly all matters related to civil litigation including drafting complaints and extensive written discovery with subpoenas included. This is where Savannah was first exposed to probate litigation where she was also tasked with working on disputed conservatorships as well as trustee surcharge matters. At that time, she also secured a judgment on a civil complaint for breach of contracts/common counts under the supervision of an attorney.
Savannah earned her law degree with an emphasis on business law at Chapman University’s Fowler School of Law. Her undergraduate degree was in English Literature which was also completed at Chapman.
In her spare time, you can find Savannah out on long-distance runs, reading classic novels, spending time with her family and her dog, and of course, always learning more about the law!
