Looking Back & Moving Forward: The Skeen Firm’s 2025 Year in Review (and What’s Next in 2026)
Looking Back & Moving Forward: The Skeen Firm’s 2025 Year in Review (and What’s Next in 2026)
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year of growth, learning, and serving everyday Pennsylvanians and West Virginians with Everyday Legal Advice®—no legalese, no nonsense, just clear guidance when it matters most.
This year reaffirmed what we’ve believed from the start: people want straightforward legal help that respects their time, their goals, and their bottom line. Here’s a look at what we accomplished together—and what you can expect from us in 2026.
A Year of Practical, Everyday Legal Guidance
In 2025, our blog continued to focus on the legal issues people actually face in their lives and businesses.
We shared insights on family law, helping couples and individuals better understand topics like prenuptial agreements, separation, and planning ahead for major life changes.
For small business owners, we published guidance on issues like partnerships, contracts, and resolving disputes before they escalate. Entrepreneurs across Pennsylvania and West Virginia rely on clear legal foundations to grow confidently.
We also expanded our content around estate planning, breaking down common misconceptions and explaining why tools like wills and trusts aren’t just for the ultra-wealthy—they’re for anyone who wants peace of mind.
Each article is written with one goal in mind: to give you the information you need to make informed decisions before a legal issue becomes a legal crisis.
Civil Litigation: Protecting Your Rights When Disputes Arise
In 2025, we also continued to guide clients through civil litigation matters, helping individuals and businesses resolve disputes efficiently and strategically.
Whether involving contract disputes, business conflicts, or other civil claims, litigation can be overwhelming. Our focus is on helping clients understand their options, assess risk, and pursue outcomes that align with their long-term goals—inside or outside the courtroom.
By pairing practical legal advice with a clear strategy, we help clients move forward confidently when disputes can’t be avoided.
What 2025 Taught Us
This year brought valuable insight into what our clients and readers care about most.
Plain-English legal advice matters.
The content that resonated most was clear, practical, and focused on real outcomes—which is exactly what Everyday Legal Advice® stands for. Learn more about our approach on our About The Skeen Firm page.
