About Gregory
Biography
Greg Albert is a Seattle personal injury and legal malpractice lawyer who has helped clients achieve nearly $1.5 billion in judgments and settlements.
In the Target Data Breach class action, he defended 46 states' consumer protection laws against dismissal resulting in a $10 million settlement for consumers. He also drafted original complaints quoted by congress in the Takata Airbag litigation and prosecuted thousands of privilege claims in the GM Ignition Switch case.
In 2013, Greg drafted the first dispositive legal briefing in the nation to decide whether Justice Thomas' Genesis v. Symczyk decision would allow Defendants to moot class actions. Greg's success there not only created the blueprint for mootness oppositions governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 68, but his clients received more than a $1 billion judgment.
Greg currently practices personal injury litigation and represents students who were bullied or assaulted at school. In 2016, Greg settled two separate cases on behalf of students who were sexually assaulted on school property or the school bus. He has also prosecuted numerous civil actions for police brutality, government liability, and psychiatric malpractice.
Greg grew up in Alaska where he enjoyed mountain climbing and fly fishing within minutes of home. He served four years in the Navy, earned a philosophy B.A. cum laude, and received his Juris Doctor from the University of Washington in 2009. When Greg is not in the office, you can find him scrambling up a mountain, adventuring in Latin America, or writing about himself in third person.

One of the worst lawyers in the state
He was very rude and I felt like he did not want to talk to me. I needed help in a civil matter and was referred to him by one of my friends

Exceptional, Competent, and Honest
Outstanding attorney. Extremely effective, diligent, and very intelligent. Friendly and easy to work with. Also has high ethical standards and a sense of morality - not your typical attorney. Greg saved our bacon after our first attorney passed away, and the second turned out to be "less than diligen...

Outstanding attention to detail
Gregory quickly informed me as to my standing, and the fact that I didn't need representation at this time.
