We were very happy with Mr Savage's results.
After a bad car accident with injuries a good friend recommended David Savage as a lawyer. We had never been involved in a personal injury vehicle accident before and David lead us through the process . He was very knowledgeable and we feel that he achieved an excellent outcome for us

David Savage
I was struck by a car in Charleston, and I needed help from a local attorney (I live in Georgia). I discovered the AVVO rating website which led me to David. He knew exactly how I should proceed and immediately offered his help and advice to move the process along. Within an hour, he had contacted th...

Experience Counts!
I was injured in a multi-car accident and was getting nowhere dealing with multiple insurance companies all wanting to blame each other. David took the reins and handled the insurance companies, so I could take care of my injuries. His experience shined through and he walked me through every step of ...

Only attorney I would ever recommend for bodily injury
About 4 years ago I was involved in a horrific accident that left me with painful injuries. I was hit by a uninsured motorist in a head on collision. A broken pelvis, shattered hip and dislocated knee are some of the injuries that I suffered. initially I hired a different attorney who only went afte...
"I've worked with and against him for years and the simple fact is that David is in a small, elite group who are considered the very best trial lawyers in South Carolina. He separates himself from the rank and file by the depth of his knowledge and experience, his laser focus on maximizing value for his clients, and most particularly by the incredible strategic approach he brings to the case. He's seen it all, done it all, and has the confidence that comes with that kind of track record. For a serious matter--a tractor-trailer accident, a horrific instance of nursing home abuse, a bad brain injury, a person killed by a drunk driver who has been over served by an establishment--David is the go to guy."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known and worked with David professionally for several years. He is a respected member of the bar and is held in high esteem by his colleagues. I believe him to be a competent, knowledgeable and professional attorney who maintains the highest ethical standards and works tirelessly for his clients. I would not hesitate to refer a personal injury or dram shop matter to him."
"David Savage is a very skilled and diligent attorney. He is always well prepared and takes his clients’ needs quite seriously. If you are in need of personal injury representation, I strongly recommend David."
"David is a former marine and it shows. I've talked to defense lawyers about David and they say "he puts on a lot of pressure"; a friend of mine had a tragedy in their lives and needed help, they said that David "took control"; I have personally worked with David on cases, and his tactical planning on cases is a big influence for me. David is a strong advocate for his clients. He's one of the best."
"David is a tenacious and highly-skilled advocate. I defended several cases against David during my time as insurance defense counsel and he always fought hard for his client's interests. David also displayed a tireless work ethic, investigating all aspects of a case for his client's benefit. I highly recommend and endorse him for personal injury and accident cases."
"I've known David for over 20 years and when a friend of mine's son was involved in a terrible accident, David was the clear choice to pursue his claim. David pours his heart and soul into every case he handles and will leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of his clients' interests."
