Patricia Anne Savage

I hired Patricia Savage when my small business got hit with a EDD California audit. I had previous council, which I moved on from once I met with Patricia to discuss my case. Patricia guided me through the entire process, helped on the phone interviews, and really picked me mentally when going throug...h this. We got what we wanted as a end result which I'm positive I wouldn't of gotten on the previous path I was on. I can not say enough good things about her. Patricia is absolutely fantastic at what she does, and is able to break completed procedures down to make the process as painless as possible. I can not recommend her enough! If you want world class, Patricia is it!

We hired Patricia to defend us in a discrimination case brought on by a disgruntled former employee. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very personable. She advised us at several points that it would be less expensive to settle but we wanted to pursue it and she stuck with us and got the resolut...ion we wanted, A total win! Will definitely hire her again when the need arises.

I was hit with an outrageous and fraudulent CA labor commission claim from a disgruntled employee in the SIX figures. Ms. Savage was quick to grasp the weaknesses of the claim and represented us effectively and with passion during the LB hearing. The result was a six figure claim being reduced to abo...ut $900. She understands small business and I would recommend her highly.

I hired Patricia for an issue I'm having with people I hired. The client for this project was also very difficult. I don't want to get into too much details but lets just say I'm extremely glad Patricia is on my team. She's extremely knowledgable and very experienced. This is actually the third time... requiring her services. The first time was an EDD issue for my company and the results were totally in my favor. The second time I had an issue from a client that didn't want to pay. After Patrica got involved, my client paid right away. Best lawyer ever.

My first introduction to Patricia was a recommendation by a colleague in the same business and had wonderful results. I was forced out of a medical practice after a corporation bought it and required I see more patients per hour. It was beyond what I felt was proper patient-care, and they kept me on ...for two more years at 4 patients an hour since I was the primary practitioner and had great patient-provider rapport, and it gave the corporation and new graduate time to gauge the amount of visits they could squeeze out of our mostly Medicare retired community. They figured out the metric with the freshly-minted dermatologist who had 50% stake in the practice, fronted by the corporation. Forced out, but with plenty of experience and other practices trying to hire me, I was scooped up by an old colleague. He told me about Patricia, and how the treatment was incongruent with the labor laws. I ended up settling in about 3-months for a sizable amount, and could have rolled the dice and taken it to the labor board and possibly forcing a settlement over three time what I received. Patricia explained to me the pros and cons of going for the long haul, including the customary % of the settlement and penalties due the lawyer after the court hearing, and I felt she could have made out better by battling it out, but encouraged me to take the sizable settlement with minimal representation costs. By the way, the plaintiff hired a well-known San Francisco labor law litigation team, and Patricia had them "on the ropes" from the beginning, and they saw that she knew the law, and advised the plaintiff corporation to settle almost right away. Who knew a smaller town litigator could make big business and a profits first/ patients second corporation and medical provider bend to the laws of the land- Patricia did it. The second time I retained her was when I was going to contract with a local native american tribal clinic, and she said she could look over the contract, but had little faith in a fair dealing if we were to terminate the contract against my will, due to sovereign nation status. When we did sever ties, I wrote it off, as again I was contracted immediately in my specialty by another clinic. I contacted her a third time, and it was regarding the contract they provided to me, which was actually written for a locum tenens facilitator providing temporary help to the clinic. She explained the detail to me in terms I completely understood, wrote up a new independent contractor agreement that the clinic immediately agreed to, and also agreed that it protected both myself and the clinic from future issues. I consider it, along with the other two cases she defended or advised me for my agreeing to terms, to be money well-spent. I will always confer with her in my labor law issues.
