Spencer Carey
Spencer is a Legal Assistant at Driscoll Anderson Reynard LLP, primarily working out of our Carlsbad office. His role reflects a long-standing interest in work that combines professional communication with client service.
Born and raised in Point Loma, San Diego (and still residing there), Spencer attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned a B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations. He paired this degree with minors in Professional Writing and Philosophy: together, this coursework in professional editing, logic, and ethics helped him develop a technical understanding of how structure, precision, and emphasis shape effective written communication.
During college, Spencer worked in roles that required strong communication skills and consistent attention to detail. He wrote real estate copy for Isla Vista’s largest leasing company and supported a local Santa Barbara realtor with marketing and client outreach; he also assisted a tech-consulting startup in refining its written and digital presence. These experiences strengthened his ability to adjust complex information for different audiences and underscored his commitment to clarity and trustworthiness in client-facing work.
Spencer first joined Driscoll Anderson Reynard LLP as a summer intern following his sophomore and junior years, assisting with the digitization and organization of estate planning documents. That early exposure introduced him to the procedural demands of trust and estate work and established his interest in supporting clients through the administrative side of the legal process. After graduating in 2025, he returned to the firm as a Legal Assistant and has since become a commissioned Notary Public. His responsibilities include managing original documents, communicating with clients, and preparing and executing signings.
In his free time, Spencer spends as much time outdoors as he can—playing tennis, surfing, golfing, or camping. In 2026, he plans to finish his work toward earning his California real estate license, take the LSAT, and apply to law school in the 2026-2027 admissions cycle.
