Barbara B. Savaglio
Thirty-five years — the longest career in San Diego and the third longest on the site. Her rideshare page is also the only one we have ever read that mentions Waymo, which makes it the only page here that has noticed the vehicle may not have a driver to sue.
The bar record
We read Barbara B. Savaglio in the State Bar of California’s licensee search. The practice-area and language rows are the lawyer’s own; the Bar prints above them that it does not verify their accuracy and makes no warranties about competence.
California states plainly what it hides — and it is not this. Above every status history the Bar warns that some administrative suspensions are removed from display under its own removal policy, and it defines those as non-disciplinary: unpaid fees, missed education. Disciplinary matters are not covered by that policy, and one listing on this page proves the field works — two suspensions, two case numbers and five linked court documents, still on display years later. So a clean status history here means more than a clean one in Washington. It still does not mean the Bar has told us everything.
What the record shows
The page reads whether your accident involved an Uber, Lyft or a Waymo vehicle. Across one hundred and eighty-five listings in fourteen cities, no other firm page we have read names a driverless operator at all. Every other page in this batch is built on a three-phase insurance model that assumes a human driver with a personal policy.Verified
We are not saying she has run such a case, and neither does the page. We are saying she is the only one of one hundred and eighty-five who has written the sentence.Verified
She cites a published appellate decision with a full citation — People v. Fulton (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 876 — and a link to contemporaneous press coverage. Citing a reported case by volume and page is rare on these pages and it is checkable, though we have not read it.Verified
Her register records thirty-five years, a San Diego address and a single practice area. It says nothing about any of the above; California’s record does not carry case history.Verified
