Empowering You with Expert Legal Guidance
At S. K. Pickens Law, we believe that every individual and business deserves exceptional, strategic legal advice tailored to their unique needs. Our Peterborough-based law firm is dedicated to providing high-quality representation in a variety of areas, including Family Law, Wills, and Criminal Law.
Our Story
Our team, comprising Shonagh K. Pickens and Sarah R. Koschman, met while working in the Criminal Justice System. With a combined 24 years of experience in the legal profession, we share a passion for justice, professionalism, and a commitment to serving our clients with integrity.
Family Law
Family Law can encompass many facets of family life, including marriage contracts and co-habitation agreements, separation and divorce, child custody issues, adoption, and division of family property. We understand that navigating family court matters can be emotionally challenging, which is why we take the time to listen to our clients' concerns and provide objective counsel throughout the process. Our goal is to resolve legal matters out of Court, whenever possible, to minimize stress and costs. In some cases, however, court proceedings may become necessary, and we are well-equipped to represent our clients in this setting.
Wills
Let us help you plan your future by preparing a Will that can legally protect your interests and ensure your wishes are followed. A Will is an essential document that provides guidance on the distribution of your estate, appointments of executors, and appointment of guardians for your children.
Criminal Law
With over 13 years of criminal law experience as an Assistant Crown Attorney, Shonagh K. Pickens is dedicated to ensuring that her clients receive the best possible outcome for their criminal matters. Whether through negotiations or trials, she is committed to upholding justice and protecting her clients' rights.
