Before founding Albert Law PLLC in 2016, Greg Albert spent seven years handling civil litigation and class actions against corporations and government entities. Those seven years produced $1.5 billion in judgments and settlements for clients. That figure is not a cumulative total assembled over a full career; it represents work done in the first seven years of practice. It is a number that defines what Greg Albert was doing before he decided to build a boutique firm on his own terms.
Albert Law PLLC is based in Seattle, Washington, and serves clients throughout the state. The firm deliberately does not take every case that comes through the door. Instead, it selects cases where it believes it can make a genuine difference and then invests deeply in each one. The philosophy is explicit: a boutique practice provides deep investment in selected cases rather than minimal investment in many.
Practice Areas
The range of matters Albert Law PLLC handles is substantial. The unifying thread is that every practice area involves serious harm and a client who deserves more than routine handling.
Legal Malpractice: When an attorney’s errors cause harm to a client, legal malpractice law provides a remedy. These cases require proving both the underlying legal error and that the error caused damages, essentially litigating both the malpractice case and the original case simultaneously.
Employment Law: Workplace rights claims, including discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and wage violations, require both legal knowledge and willingness to take on institutional employers.
School Bullying and Negligence: Institutions that fail to protect children from foreseeable harm bear legal responsibility. The firm handles these cases, which often require evidence of prior incidents and institutional failures to act.
Sex Abuse: Survivors of sexual abuse, including abuse by institutions or individuals in positions of authority, have legal remedies through civil litigation that operate separately from criminal prosecution.
Wrongful Death: When negligence kills, surviving family members have the right to pursue accountability. The firm handles wrongful death claims across multiple causation contexts.
Consumer Protection: Washington’s Consumer Protection Act and federal consumer protection statutes create remedies for individuals harmed by deceptive or unfair business practices.
Class Actions: Greg Albert’s background in class action litigation is a direct asset in cases where harm is widespread and individual recovery would be insufficient incentive for litigation without aggregation.
Nursing Home Abuse: Elderly and vulnerable adults in care facilities are entitled to the standard of care promised and required by law. When institutions fail them, the firm pursues accountability.
Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries: Catastrophic injuries involving the brain or spine produce lifetime consequences. The damages analysis in these cases must account for decades of future medical care, lost earnings, and reduced quality of life.
Sports Injuries: Recreational and organized sports injuries involving institutional negligence or inadequate safety precautions give rise to civil liability claims.
Constitutional and Civil Rights: The firm handles claims arising from violations of constitutional rights, including cases against government actors and entities.
DOC and DCYF Liability: The Washington State Department of Corrections and the Department of Children, Youth, and Families can face civil liability when their failures cause harm to individuals in their custody or care.
Vehicle and Transportation Accidents: Car accidents, truck accidents, drunk driving accidents, and rideshare accidents form a significant portion of the firm’s caseload.
Medical Malpractice and Related Claims: The firm handles medical malpractice, birth trauma, Erb’s palsy (a birth injury affecting the brachial plexus), hospital and nursing home negligence, pharmacy errors, and late-stage cancer missed diagnosis. These cases require medical expert support and a litigation team willing to go up against well-funded healthcare defendants.
Defective Drugs and Medical Devices: When pharmaceutical products or medical devices cause harm due to design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings, the firm pursues product liability claims.
Jones Act and Maritime Claims: Maritime workers injured at sea have rights under the Jones Act and general maritime law that differ from standard workers compensation claims. The firm handles these specialized matters.
Toxic Exposure and Industrial Accidents: Exposure to hazardous substances and workplace industrial accidents produce serious injuries that often involve complex causation analysis and multiple responsible parties.
Aviation Accidents: Aviation claims involve federal regulatory frameworks and typically multiple potential defendants, from the operator to the manufacturer to the maintenance company.
Insurance Disputes: When insurers wrongly deny or undervalue claims, the firm pursues recovery on behalf of policyholders.
Commercial Disputes and Construction Law: The firm handles commercial litigation matters and construction law disputes, expanding its civil practice beyond personal injury.
Attorney Profile and Firm Philosophy
Greg Albert founded the firm in 2016 after establishing a track record that includes $1.5 billion in client recoveries across his first seven years of practice. His approach to the practice is built on two pillars: selecting cases where the firm can truly help, and then giving those cases the attention they require.
The client empowerment philosophy is a practical expression of this approach. The firm invests in educating clients about their own cases so that clients become active participants rather than passive recipients of legal services. This is not incidental to the firm’s quality; it is part of the firm’s strategy. Informed clients make better decisions, provide better information, and achieve better outcomes.

FAQ
What does “deep investment in selected cases” mean in practice?
It means the firm reviews its caseload carefully and accepts only matters where it believes it can make a genuine difference for the client. Once a case is accepted, the firm allocates the attention, research, expert resources, and attorney time required to pursue it fully. This is a deliberate choice against the high-volume model where many cases receive minimal individual attention.
How does client empowerment work in practice?
The firm keeps clients informed about what is happening in their case, explains the strategic decisions being made, and invites clients to participate in those decisions. Clients who understand their cases are better positioned to evaluate settlement offers, prepare for depositions, and make informed choices at every stage.
What is Erb’s palsy and when can it give rise to a legal claim?
Erb’s palsy is a birth injury affecting the brachial plexus, the network of nerves controlling arm movement. It can result from excessive traction during delivery or improper use of delivery instruments. When it results from a healthcare provider’s deviation from the standard of care, it may form the basis of a medical malpractice claim.
What makes a maritime Jones Act case different from a standard workers compensation claim?
The Jones Act applies specifically to seamen injured in the course of employment. It provides a cause of action for negligence that does not exist under standard workers compensation law, and it allows recovery for pain and suffering, which most state workers comp systems do not. Additionally, general maritime law provides maintenance and cure benefits. The combined remedies can be substantially larger than standard workers compensation benefits.
Does the firm handle cases against government entities?
Yes. Greg Albert’s background includes civil litigation against government entities, and the firm’s current practice includes constitutional and civil rights claims, DOC and DCYF liability cases, and other matters where government actors or agencies are the defendants. Claims against government entities often require compliance with specific notice procedures and shorter claim-filing deadlines than standard civil claims.
