About Kira
Kira Albrecht earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature and philosophy from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2011 and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2014. While at Chicago-Kent she completed a Certificate in Business Law and worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Science, Law and Technology. Those early academic roles exposed her to intersections of law, technology and policy.
Her legal career began during and immediately after law school. She held summer and clerk positions that ranged from small firms to academic research. After graduation she joined DiTommaso Lubin, P.C., first as a law clerk in 2013 and then as an associate in 2014. Those years offered regular courtroom exposure and case preparation work in civil matters.
In 2015 she worked in contract roles at Mayer Brown LLP and Kirkland and Ellis LLP and served as a judicial research assistant to the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. That mix of large-firm contract drafting and federal-court research added litigation perspective and sharpened her analytical skills. She later worked on network real estate projects for Mobilitie in 2016, which broadened her experience in commercial transactions and infrastructure agreements.
Albrecht returned to traditional law firm practice in subsequent years. She was an associate at Beermann LLP in 2019. By 2020 she had joined Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC as a family law lawyer. Across those positions she handled client counseling, negotiated settlements, and managed both motion practice and discovery in contested matters.
Her track record shows a practitioner who has moved between litigation support, transactional work and courtroom roles. The combination of federal-court research assistance, contract drafting for national firms, and practice at smaller firms gives her a range of procedural and substantive experience. She has practiced in Illinois throughout her career and continues to work in the state’s legal environment.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in legal research and steady in case management. Her background in English literature and philosophy informs the attention she pays to written advocacy and the structure of arguments. She currently practices family law at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, handling divorce, custody and related family matters.
