Corbett & Gwilliam PLLC
This report reviews the public web footprint available on May 18, 2026. Corbett & Gwilliam PLLC's public evidence is now best tracked through the current live attorney profiles for David Corbett and Aaron Gwilliam rather than the former firm domain. Those live profiles still show independent Avvo 10.0 ratings for both attorneys, a combined 46 five-star client reviews, Super Lawyers recognition across nine years for Aaron Gwilliam and six years for David Corbett, and clean disciplinary records for both.
Two attorneys, two independent Avvo 10.0 (Superb) ratings, zero disciplinary findings on either Utah Bar record, Super Lawyers selection for both partners across multiple consecutive years, and 46 combined five-star client reviews with named reviewers describing specific outcomes. The credential stack here is verifiable on multiple independent platforms and does not rely on self-reported claims.
Firm overview
Corbett & Gwilliam PLLC was a two-attorney South Jordan, Utah practice combining the work of David Mark Corbett and Aaron Gwilliam. The strongest current public footprint is now split across David Corbett's South Jordan family/criminal/personal-injury profiles and Aaron Gwilliam's South Jordan workers' compensation profiles, which still reflect the same complementary split documented in the earlier firm evidence.
The firm appears in directories under multiple names — "Corbett Law," "Corbett Gwilliam, PLLC," and "Corbett & Gwilliam PLLC" — reflecting standard directory variation for a relatively young partnership. Both partners are independently listed on Avvo, Super Lawyers, Justia, and state bar lookup systems under their individual names with consistent firm association.
