About Pete
Pete Albanis studied two quite different fields as an undergraduate. He earned a B.A. from the University of Chicago, combining political science with romance languages. That mix of analytical training and close attention to language set the stage for law school. He completed his legal studies at DePaul College of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2002.
After law school he entered private practice. By 2009 he was working as a lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Public records and professional listings show him associated with that firm beginning in that year, and he has continued his work in that setting since then. The record does not list every stop along the way, but it does show a steady presence at Morgan & Morgan across multiple years.
Albanis is a member of The Illinois Bar and holds admission in numerous federal court bars. Those admissions allow him to represent clients in both state and federal forums. He appears in court and files matters in federal venues as well as before Illinois state tribunals. His professional memberships reflect a practice that spans trial and appellate settings.
Colleagues and listings describe a lawyer who blends courtroom work with written advocacy. His undergraduate focus on language and his law degree combine in practice. He prepares pleadings, argues motions, and handles hearings in a variety of matters that proceed through the courts. He has experience managing cases through the different stages litigation demands, from initial filings to appearances in federal court where his admissions permit him to practice.
At Morgan & Morgan he has been part of a larger team of attorneys and staff. The firm environment has given him access to resources for handling complex litigation and coordinating with co-counsel when matters require it. He has worked on cases that necessitate filings in multiple jurisdictions, relying on his memberships in several federal court bars.
Outside the courtroom his academic background remains a touchstone. The study of political systems and of languages informs how he frames legal arguments and communicates with clients. It also shapes his approach to written briefs and oral advocacy.
He is listed as a current member of The Illinois Bar and maintains active admission to federal courts. He currently represents clients in matters brought in both state and federal courts at Morgan & Morgan.
