Marie-Eve Nowlan
Marie-Eve is originally from Edmundston, New Brunswick. She completed her Juris Doctor at the Université de Moncton and was admitted to the Law Society of New Brunswick in 2021. Before studying the law, she completed a Bachelors Degree in Social Science, majoring in political science with a minor in Criminology.
Marie-Eve believes that justice and the protection of legal rights should be accessible to everyone, and that is why she chose to become a lawyer. The process can sometimes be complex to navigate, and you can count on her to welcome you into her office to go over everything and answer all of your questions. For Marie-Eve, every day is a new opportunity to help someone new.
‘’I love everything about the complexity of the law. Studying it to be able to help people understand it and, more importantly, understand how it can make their situation better is one of my biggest accomplishments to date. I look forward to every client meeting because I love to keep them up to date on their file and answer any questions they may have. I’m part of an exceptional team and I feel equipped to succeed as a lawyer.’’
When not at work, she enjoys spending time outdoors, discovering new music with her husband, and playing with her cat, Katniss.
