Albro L. Lundy III

Albro L. Lundy III is an award-winning litigator with billions of dollars in verdicts and settlements to his credit. He epitomizes the ultimate in a trial lawyer: not only is he a true warrior in the mold of his fighter pilot father (POW/MIA Maj. Albro L. Lundy Jr.), but he is also a deeply caring man who is willing to sacrifice for his client's cause. A fighter pilot in the courtroom, if you have a dispute, you need to hire Albro.

Each of the partners here at Baker, Burton & Lundy believes we have an obligation to give back to our community both through our legal profession and community service. We believe that those who are blessed with the opportunity to go to law school and practice law also have the obligation to use that skill and expertise to promote justice. To those who are given much, much is expected. Albro Lundy takes that verse very seriously.
