Sach D. Oliver

Sach Oliver was named after Satchel Paige the baseball player. People often ask why there is not a “t” in Sach’s name and the truth is that his parents were afraid he would be called a satchel bag at school. Sach was raised in the small town of Viola, Arkansas and gives the credit of his success to his wonderful parents, Eddy and Jeanie Oliver. Sach is married to Codi Oliver who is a pediatric occupational therapist in Northwest Arkansas. Sach and Codi have two daughters Reesa and Reagan. One of Sach’s favorite past times is riding horses.

Sach also served as Student Government President at Arkansas State University, where he received the Wilson Award for Outstanding Service.

Sach graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Law. As a law student Sach won the coveted “Best Oral Advocate” award in the National Trial Competition sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers. Sach defeated students from the top 150 law schools throughout the United States. The American College of Trial Lawyers flew Sach to London, England for their annual convention to speak alongside the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Roberts.

Today, Sach continues to constantly learn and develop new trial tactics to improve his courtroom skills; however, now Sach is often the teacher. On a regular basis, Sach is asked to teach litigation tactics to National and State Trial Lawyer Organizations.

Sach as a Trial Lawyer

Sach is a catastrophic injury and wrongful death trial lawyer and the author of Depositions Are Trial. The book documents his methodology: depositions run like trial, visual aids built into the culture of every case, and selective intake so each matter gets the full firm. He teaches that methodology nationally.

Over the past five years, on the 18-wheeler cases he has led, his verdicts have averaged more than $64 million. Where settlements have occurred, they have averaged more than $34 million.

In 2026, Sach was inducted into the Inner Circle of Advocates, the invitation-only association of the country’s top 100 plaintiff trial lawyers. He serves on the Board of Regents of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, where he is one of only two board-certified ATAA members in Arkansas. He also teaches as faculty with Trial Lawyers University.

Sach is a past President of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association (2022–2023) and has been named the association’s Outstanding Young Trial Lawyer of the Year (2008) and Outstanding Trial Lawyer of the Year (2015). The Oliver Law Firm’s catastrophic injury team, which Sach leads, was named the ATLA Trial Team of the Year in 2022. The American Association for Justice has also recognized him as an excellent trial lawyer.

Sach has developed a reputation as a very aggressive advocate for his clients with exceptional courtroom skills. Each member of Oliver Law Firm Trial team has a specific role just like the point guard or post man on basketball team. Sach’s position or role is the advocate in court conducting the opening and closing statements, jury selection, direct and cross exams of witnesses. Each team member is required for success.
