Christine Ann Renken

I began my undergraduate studies as a chemistry major at the University of Southern California, but then quickly found my calling in law. After obtaining my Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Sociology in 2001, I went on to attend Loyola Law School. During law school, I had the opportunity to work for a renowned appellate firm and intern with a Justice at the Court of Appeal, Second District. I also earned the First Honors Award for the highest grade in my Trial Advocacy class. I graduated from Loyola in 2004, and after passing the bar and being sworn in, went to work at a general business firm in Orange County, California.  But after handling an elder abuse cae, I quickly realized that I wanted to focus my legal talents on representing people who have been wronged by others. 

My husband and I relocated to Northern California due to his job in the U.S. Coast Guard, and since then I have been representing clients who have suffered due to asbestos exposure. I manage all pre-trial matters of a case, including conducting and responding to discovery, taking corporate representative depositions, and preparing and opposing pre-trial motions. I use my writing skills to obtain key facts and documents from defendants and to defend against the numerous motions defendants file to try to get out of a lawsuit.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young daughters.
