QUINN LAW

Quinn Law is a law firm located in the heart of downtown Charlottetown serving clients both within and outside of the province. Quinn Law represents clients in Criminal Defence, Family Law, and General Litigation matters. Notwithstanding this, the aim at Quinn Law isn’t always towards a courtroom; it’s towards a resolution that balances our client’s goals pragmatically with recognizing and reducing the financial and emotional toll that the justice system often creates.

By focussing on litigation, we strive to provide streamlined and efficient service to our clients. We believe that a certain amount of specialization is necessary to achieve this. Most attorneys you will talk with do “a little of this and a little of that”, we prefer to focus on an exclusively litigation-based practice to best assist our clients.
