SKILLS
ABOUT MERYN STEEVES
I am a collaboratively-trained Family Lawyer who has spent the past five years building my practice in Family Law, Real Estate, Wills & Estates, and Civil Litigation. My passion is for Family Law, with a focus on reasonable settlement. Originally from New Brunswick, I earned a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from St. Thomas University in Fredericton. During that degree, I spent a semester studying in Sweden, where I met my husband. After scoring in the 99th percentile on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), I was one of a small minority of students accepted to law school after only three years of undergraduate study. I attended the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University in Halifax, where I graduated with the Wanda Szubielski Prize in Law for the student with top marks in civil law subjects. During my studies, I earned a number of awards including the full-tuition President\'s Scholarship at St. Thomas University, a full-tuition Schulich Scholarship at Dalhousie University, and the Estate of E. Bligh Scholarship. I graduated from law school with a certificate in Health Law, and during my studies completed an internship at the legal department at the region\'s largest children\'s hospital. I summered and articled at one of the three largest law firms in Halifax before moving to Peterborough and joining John McGarrity at his full-service law firm. In 2023, my friend, Rob Hiseler, and I launched our own full-service firm, Passageway Law. When I\'m not working, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, horseback riding, weight lifting, reading, and travel. I volunteer as the Vice Chair of the Greater Peterborough Health Services Foundation (GPHSF) and Secretary of the Peterborough Law Association.
