About Patrick J.
Patrick J. Lanciotti earned his J.D. from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. He completed a legal education grounded in traditional doctrine and practical training. The law school’s curriculum gave him classroom exposure to civil procedure, evidence and constitutional law, and practical experience that shaped his early approach to practice.
After law school Lanciotti secured admission to practice in both New York and New Jersey. Those dual admissions allow him to handle matters across state lines and to advise clients on procedural differences between the two systems. He entered private practice as an associate at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC, taking on tasks common to early-career litigation attorneys while building courtroom and case-management skills.
At Napoli Shkolnik he has worked on the range of duties expected of an associate attorney. He prepares pleadings, conducts legal research, takes and defends depositions, and assists in motion practice. He has also participated in client interviews and helped assemble factual records for trial teams. Those experiences have reinforced an attention to detail and a practice style that emphasizes preparation and clear communication.
Lanciotti’s admissions to the New York and New Jersey bars frame the scope of his work. Being licensed in both states means he can file in multiple forums and coordinate strategy when cases cross jurisdictions. That practical flexibility matters for clients whose matters involve multi-state issues, and it has shaped how he approaches scheduling, discovery and case planning.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and steady. He is an associate who takes on parts of larger matters and follows them from initial drafting through later stages of litigation. His role often places him in hands-on positions for discovery and trial preparation. He also contributes to team briefings and collaborates with senior attorneys on trial strategy and settlement analysis.
Outside day-to-day casework he maintains professional ties appropriate to a practicing attorney. He stays current on procedural developments and continues to develop the courtroom and litigation skills that support his work as an associate. He practices at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC, where his current practice concentrates on litigation and representing clients in state and federal matters.
