About Frank F.
Frank F. Daugherty moved from military service to law and business studies before opening his own practice. He earned an MBA from California State University, Dominguez Hills in 2008 and completed a Juris Doctor at California Southern University in 2011. He later added a Graduate Certificate in Intellectual Property from the University of California, San Diego.
He served in the United States Marine Corps and held the rank of First Sergeant in 1999. That period shaped the early part of his professional life. After leaving active duty, he pursued graduate study and then law school, combining operational experience with classroom training.
Daugherty is licensed to practice in California. He established The Law Office of Frank Daugherty in 2016 and has practiced under that name since. His practice grew out of a mix of legal education and prior leadership roles outside the profession.
His legal education included particular exposure to intellectual property through the UC San Diego certificate. The MBA adds a business dimension to his legal work. Together those credentials inform how he evaluates client problems and structures solutions.
Colleagues and clients see a lawyer who moves between detailed document work and broader business questions. He handles matters that touch on intellectual property and commercial concerns, applying both legal training and managerial experience. He also draws on the discipline and organizational practices from his time in the Marine Corps when managing casework and client communications.
Daugherty maintains an active solo practice in California and operates from The Law Office of Frank Daugherty. He offers counsel that reflects his combined background in law, business, and prior military service. His current practice emphasizes matters at the intersection of intellectual property and business-related legal issues.
