Legal Help Without the Traditional Law Firm Guesswork
Legal problems already create enough uncertainty. Hiring a lawyer should not create more.
At The Skeen Firm, we help clients understand the problem, the strategy, the economics, and the next step. Our attorneys represent clients across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio in family law, business litigation, business law, estate planning, probate, civil litigation, criminal defense, bankruptcy, and oil and gas matters.

Two Ways We Are Changing How Legal Fees Work
Flat-Fee Family Law in Pennsylvania, West Virginia & Ohio
Divorce, custody, and support matters already involve enough uncertainty. Your legal bill should not create more.
The Skeen Firm offers flat-fee options for qualifying family law matters so clients can better understand anticipated legal fees before representation begins.
- Divorce and uncontested divorce
- Child custody and parenting matters
- Support-related matters
- Custody modifications
- Family court litigation
- Clearer pricing before engagement
Business Litigation That Makes Business Sense
A lawsuit should solve a business problem—not become another one. We represent businesses and owners in serious commercial disputes throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.
For qualifying plaintiff-side matters, our success-fee model combines defined early-stage fees with compensation tied to recovery.
- Breach of contract claims
- Partnership and LLC disputes
- Shareholder litigation
- Fiduciary duty claims
- Business fraud
- Acquisition and ownership disputes
Lawyers for Individuals, Families & Businesses
Our practice areas are intentionally connected. Families own businesses. Business owners need estate plans. Contracts become lawsuits. Financial problems affect both companies and households.

That is especially important for busy professionals, parents, business owners, and clients who do not live near one of our physical offices.

Find Your Area →The Strategy Should Connect to the Result You Actually Need
We do not measure success by how complicated we can make a legal problem. We measure it by whether the strategy helps move the client toward the right outcome.
Clear Communication
You should understand what is happening, what matters, what your options are, and what comes next.
Transparent Economics
Where appropriate, we use alternative fee structures that provide greater visibility into legal costs.
Practical Strategy
The objective is not legal activity for its own sake. The objective is solving the client's problem.
Sophisticated Legal Advice Should Still Make Sense
Everyday Legal Advice® does not mean every legal problem is simple. Many are not.
It means the advice should be understandable. The strategy should connect to the client's actual objective. The lawyer should explain what matters and why. And the legal process should not be made more complicated simply because lawyers are involved.
