About Daniel J.
Daniel J. Corbett built a steady legal path after leaving Ohio University with a degree in public relations journalism in 2002 and finishing law school at the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. He moved from newsroom thinking to legal practice and kept a practical, results-oriented approach to his work.
Corbett earned his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2006. His undergraduate study in public relations journalism at Ohio University preceded that, giving him training in writing and communication that has carried through his legal career. Those skills showed early in roles that required clear drafting and careful attention to procedure.
His early professional years trace a conventional progression through internships and clerkships into private practice. In 2006 he interned at Lafkas Patent, LLC. A year later he served as a law clerk at Fried & Davis, LLC. By 2009 he was practicing as a lawyer at Elliott & Davis, PC, where he handled matters that called for courtroom preparation and client advising.
Those positions exposed him to a mix of questions. The patent internship provided experience in technical filings and intellectual property processes. The clerkship and subsequent associate role offered hands-on involvement in litigation tasks and case management. Colleagues describe his work as steady and methodical, the kind of legal work that depends on careful preparation rather than showmanship.
Corbett is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania. His background spans courtroom procedure, client counseling, and document drafting. He has experience preparing pleadings, researching statutory and case law, and assisting in discovery and trial preparation. Over time he has combined earlier patent-related exposure with litigation practice, creating a practical toolkit for handling disputes that touch on technical or business issues.
He has kept a low public profile, focusing on the day-to-day work of representing clients and managing cases. As of 2026 he practices law in Pennsylvania and applies his courtroom and patent-related experience to serving clients in state matters, concentrating on litigation and client counseling.
