Yannick Bretschneider

Yannick Bretschneider joined Davis Wills & Trusts as an Associate Attorney in 2023 after earning his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of San Diego (USD) School of Law. Yannick focuses on estate planning, trust administration, and probate matters.

Yannick met his wife, Leila, in law school, and they married in 2023.  Yannick and Leila are now expecting their first child and are excited to grow their family together.

Before becoming an attorney, Yannick earned a B.A. in Psychology from San Francisco State University and spent two years living and working in Paris and London.   Overseas, Yannick taught English and German and learned how much he valued working with and helping people.  Yannick speaks French alongside his native languages, German and English.

In his free time, Yannick loves to write and record music, shoot film photography, and play sports, including soccer, snowboarding, and pickleball.

What I love about estate planning is…

helping people work through their concerns and challenges to find creative solutions and integrating those solutions into a plan that will work in the future.

As a member of WealthCounsel, a national network of attorneys who specialize in estate planning, I enjoy collaborating with other estate planning attorneys to stay up-to-date on estate, tax and business law.
