Posted by Kelli Tinker | February 20, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Guided by wisdom, fueled by integrity—an attorney who truly fought for me.

A Life-Changing Experience with Elizabeth Savage and Her Incredible Team I cannot say enough about my experience with Elizabeth Savage. From the very beginning, her knowledge, insight, and calm, focused demeanor transformed what could have been a chaotic and overwhelming situation into a man...ageable and ultimately favorable outcome. Throughout the entire process, Elizabeth held the line with unwavering directness—never aggressive, but firm and clear. She maintained control of every interaction, navigating dishonesty and potential drama with grace and precision. What truly set her apart was her ability to cut through the noise, allowing the process to move forward smoothly and in my best interest. Even though I was on a limited budget, Elizabeth worked within my range without ever compromising the quality of her representation. She is a top-tier attorney, and her team was equally supportive and kind every step of the way. Over the course of more than a year, without ever having to go to court or engage in unnecessary battles, I was able to remain calm and collected, knowing I was in the hands of a professional who understood not only the legal aspects of my case but also the importance of maintaining peace of mind. I am beyond grateful for Elizabeth’s matter-of-fact approach, her commitment to her clients, and her ability to deliver results with integrity and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking not just an attorney, but a true advocate for Justice.

Couldn't Be Happier

I consulted Elizabeth to help sort out a rather complicated and multi-faceted family trust issue. She had immediate command of the issue and, in less than an hour was able to clarify things and make solid recommendations as to how to proceed. I would hire her again without question.

Posted by Matthew | October 03, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Arbitration

arbitrator

The firm was cold, the employees frequently chose not to reply to emails, and while I won my arbitration, this attorney wrote the award in a way that I still lost money trying to protect my rights. They entirely missed the initial protocol to begin arbitration and I had to call them out.. They were l...ate on filings, but sent emails saying they filed on time (do you not know these things are timestamped?).. A general improvement in professionalism and regard for those receiving paid services is greatly needed. They seem to not understand or care about the difficulties of civilians navigating a system that is not weighted in their favor. I would not recommend, find an attorney that is genuinely interested in your protecting equity in your rights over receiving your money.

A passionate advocate

I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our case. Elizabeth is an attentive listener, empathetic, and knows how to get things done.

Excellent lawyer

My case was extremely difficult and time consuming. Elizabeth helped me get through it all and I finally have closure. I can’t thank her enough. Extremely smart and thorough. I would recommend her if you need a good lawyer
