Legal Services for Families, Businesses & Individuals
The Skeen Firm provides practical legal representation across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. Our practice is built around solving real problems with clear strategy, transparent expectations and modern legal service.
Legal Problems Rarely Stay in One Box
A divorce can affect a business. A business dispute can become litigation. An estate plan may need to address closely held companies, real estate, mineral interests or assets in multiple states.
The Skeen Firm works across interconnected practice areas so the legal strategy can focus on the actual problem instead of forcing every matter into a narrow category.

Two significant areas of our practice, each structured around clearer strategy, practical outcomes and more transparent pricing where possible.
