About Elliot
Elliot Savitz built a career that began in the sciences and moved into the courtroom. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962. Four years later he completed his law degree at Boston University School of Law, graduating in 1966. The path from MIT to BU Law set up a professional arc that would span several decades.
He entered the legal world at a time of change. Early steps in practice are not detailed here, but by 1996 he was identified as a criminal defense lawyer operating under the name Elliot Savitz Law. That listing captures a shift toward trial practice and courtroom advocacy. Over the years he maintained ties to local bar groups and to organizations outside the bar that reflect a mix of legal and civic engagement.
Savitz’s association work has been steady. He is a current member of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, an organization that connects trial lawyers across the state. He serves on the board of the Norfolk County Bar Association. From 2001 to 2003 he was chairman of the board of Plymouth Bar Advocates, a post that put him in contact with local practitioners and judicial officials. He also holds the post of chairman of the board for the Salvation Army, indicating an interest in community institutions beyond the courtroom.
His professional profile centers on criminal defense. Records show him practicing under his own name, and his memberships point to regular involvement in the criminal defense bar. The combination of a technical undergraduate degree and a legal education suggests a lawyer comfortable handling complex factual records, though his public profile emphasizes courtroom work rather than academic publication or judicial service.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe a lawyer who moves easily between procedural detail and trial strategy. He has long-term ties to Massachusetts, and his practice reflects that local orientation. He has kept active in bar associations that shape criminal practice in the state and in civic boards that intersect with legal services.
He currently practices criminal defense in Massachusetts.
