Biography

Kelly Savage represents clients in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, transportation, computer, real estate and insurance industries.  She has almost a decade of experience counseling and defending companies in state and federal court at both the trial and appellate level.  She combines aggressive advocacy with practical, commonsense advice to achieve the best results for her clients. 

In the last year alone, she rescued a small local business from bankruptcy by convincing the California Court of Appeals to vacate a $1.7 million judgment in a high profile employment case featured on both The Oprah Winfrey Show and Today Show.  She also saved an international pharmaceutical company from hundreds of thousands in attorney's fees by persuading a trial court to dismiss a class action complaint filed by plaintiffs claiming the company's warnings on prescription and non-prescription products violated California's Proposition 65 and the UCL.  In both instances, Kelly worked closely with clients to control legal expenses and prevent wasteful and unnecessary activity. 
 
Kelly is a former state appellate court law clerk and federal district court law clerk.  She is a contributing editor to one of the preeminent California appellate practice guides and frequently authors articles and presents presentations on a wide variety of issues.  In her spare time, she is finishing a Master's thesis on the use of biomarkers to detect and treat ovarian cancer.  she plans to obtain her Master's Degree in Environmental Health from Wright State University later this year.
