About
Founded 2000
Eric M. Albritton is a skilled attorney specializing in both trial and appellate law, bringing extensive experience to his practice. He has adeptly represented both plaintiffs and defendants across numerous civil litigation arenas, encompassing business disputes, employment issues, personal injuries, and patent infringement cases. Notably, Mr. Albritton's work in patent law includes advocacy for inventors as well as those accused of infringement—ranging from solo creators to large-scale technology firms—covering various technologies such as cellular networks, medical devices, video compression methods, and standard essential patents (SEPs). Beyond civil matters, he has also defended witnesses and clients entangled in state or federal criminal proceedings while maintaining a significant pro bono commitment; this commitment included advocating for a death row inmate through complex habeas corpus actions over two decades that ultimately led to the reduction of the sentence from death to life imprisonment.
With more than 65 jury trials under his belt along with multiple appeals before prestigious courts—including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit—the United States Supreme Court stands testament to Mr. Albritton’s expertise in legal counsel. His distinguished career earned him an AV rating among peers; since 2009 he has been recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer while also being honored by ABOTA membership alongside induction into the Texas Verdicts Hall of Fame.
A proud alumnus who graduated at the top of his class from Baylor University—with honors including Phi Beta Kappa recognition—he further honed his legal acumen at Berkeley Law School where he served as Managing Editor for Ecology Law Quarterly before clerking for notable judges like William Wayne Justice on district court level alongside Henry A Politz on appeals court stage within Eastern District Texas judiciary system.
