H. Kirby Albright

H. Kirby Albright has amassed a wide range of litigation experience over the last 30 years, including successful representation of clients on both sides of eminent domain law.

Kirby recently spent several years assisting a major international company as it acquired right-of-way for a pipeline across the state of Michigan. But don’t count him out if you’re a landowner. Kirby once used a bright yellow yardstick during trial for a hotly contested case involving air space. You could say that yardstick is now valued at about $300,000, after Kirby landed a unanimous verdict in his client’s favor.

Kirby has been elected by his fellow shareholders to serve on the Fraser Trebilcock Board of Directors and he is also an officer of the Firm. He is currently serving as Vice President.
