I am confident that the people of the Middle District of Florida will be well served by Brian in this important leadership role."
The District includes 35 of the 67 counties in Florida and extends from the Florida-Georgia border near Jacksonville to the southern most boundary of Naples. The headquarters is located in Tampa, with branch offices in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Ft. Myers.
Albritton concentrates his criminal and civil practice in three related areas: white collar criminal defense; prosecuting and defending claims relating to trade secret theft, noncompetition agreements and other restrictive covenants; and advising clients and handling litigation involving telemarketing, direct mail marketing, consumer and unfair and deceptive trade practice claims brought by the Federal Trade Commission and Attorneys General.
