Excellence in Customer Service

Korey Albury

After law school, I clerked for the Honorable J. Antonio DelCampo in the State Court of DeKalb County. While there, Judge DelCampo was not reversed on any of his decisions. Beginning in 2004, I litigated with Gray, Rust, St. Amand, Moffett & Brieske, concentrating primarily on wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases arising from construction and products liability litigation. I also worked on public sector matters, defending cities and counties from various claims.

In 2010, I had the privilege to open Albury & Hawkins, LLC with my esteemed partner and dedicated friend, Melissa Hawkins. We focused on both personal injury and family law cases. We understood that, as with most legal matters, these two specific areas of law provided for some of the most troubling and difficult times of our clients’ lives.

After 10 years of serving the community with my partner, I decided to practice exclusively personal injury, and opened Albury Law Group. Here, I take every opportunity to counsel with clients on both the legal and practical ramifications of their case decisions. Importantly, I believe that the law is a service industry and that the client is ultimately the “boss.” Indeed, I consider it an honor and a challenge to meet and exceed the expectations of my clients, my colleagues, and the court.

I have a sincere reverence for the law, how it is created, and how it continues to develop. I feel blessed that I am able to exercise my passion for research and writing while both helping people and earning a living to contribute to the well-being of my family and my community.

I enjoy spending time with my family, attending church, fitness, distance running, and jigsaw puzzles.
