About William B.
William B. Savo entered the legal world after finishing law school in the late 1960s. He earned his J.D. from Seton Hall University in 1967, following an A.B. from Muhlenberg College in 1964. Those formative years set the stage for a long career in New Jersey law.
He is a partner at Savo, Schalk, Gillespie, O Grodnick & Fisher, P.A. Much of his professional life has been spent at that firm, where he has taken on both advisory and courtroom responsibilities. Colleagues describe him as steady and deliberate. He prefers clear analysis over flourish.
Savo practices in New Jersey and maintains active ties to the state's legal community. He holds membership in the New Jersey Bar Association and has participated in the association's local activities. That involvement has kept him connected to evolving rules and local practice issues.
Over the years he has guided clients through routine and complex matters. He is experienced in handling legal processes that arise in state practice, and he has represented clients across a range of issues that commonly come before New Jersey courts and tribunals. His role as partner has included mentoring younger lawyers at the firm and managing client relationships.
Outside the firm, Savo's background reflects a traditional path into the profession: undergraduate degree, then law school, then decades of practice. The timeline is straightforward. His education at Muhlenberg College and Seton Hall Law remains a touchstone in how he approaches legal reasoning and client service.
People who have worked with him note an emphasis on practical outcomes. He tends to approach problems by breaking them into discrete tasks. That method has informed both negotiation strategy and litigation planning during his career.
As of 2026, he continues to serve as a partner at Savo, Schalk, Gillespie, O Grodnick & Fisher, P.A. He concentrates his practice on legal matters in New Jersey.
