About Tomekia
Biography
Growing up, Tomekia Lee-Chaney experienced firsthand the effects of a divorce. She vowed to become a family law attorney at first thinking divorce attorneys help reconcile marriages. But as the years progressed she learned lawyers are actually there to minimize the effects of a divorce.
“I chose to remain steadfast in my dreams to practice family law, but to do so in a manner that would cause the least amount of change and hardship for children who are now like I was once before,” Ms. Lee-Chaney said.
She is a trial attorney by nature and loves being in the courtroom.
“Anytime I have the ability to try a contested family matter, I never miss the opportunity,” Ms. Lee-Chaney said. “I am a trial litigator who advocates for my client without any hesitation.”
