About

I was born in the United Kingdom, raised in Nigeria and emigrated from there to the United States on September 3, 1984. I have made the Unired States my forever home since then. I am a United States citizen and living out my dream to practice law and represent the under-represented in this country. I love what I do and have no problem litigating and trying cases. I love challenges and look forward to more. I have tried cases in both federal and state courts in North Carolina.

I was facing several felony charges and She came on top, I owed her my freedom and peace, She is a fighter, not a plea attorney like the ones appointedappointed by Mecklenburg Courts.

She fights for her clients. She knows her facts and law. She tries a lot of cases and does not roll over for anyone. She represents the poorest of the poor but you wouldn't know it by the way she fights for them. She has her rules and case law when the judge asks for proof about her argument. She is very passionate in what she does.

She was my brother's attorney and help save his life. Chiege was able to identify key points and essential details in order to show that my brother had acted in self defense in a terrible incident that occurred within my family. Chiege is extremely intelligent, articulate and a very kind human being that can see when the law is not working properly. Her performance alone and the way she carried herself was amazing. I would compare her to al pacino in 'And justice for all', andy Garcia in 'Nightfalls on Manhattan' or even Cher in 'Suspect' or Denzel in 'Philadelphia'. It was truly amazing to watch her work and I thank her so much for saving my brother's life. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is the victim of something unjust. She made me realize that even though the system is completely broken, there still is a small portion or sliver of complete justice left in this country. I will never forget her...

She took the time to understand my issues and gave me some advise on how to handle the problem. I really appreciate her efforts in doing so and giving me a new avenue to correct my problem. Above and beyond!!!
