Chambers Opens The Chambers Law Office

Cheyenne Chambers has opened The Chambers Law Office after working as a senior trial attorney within the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. With over a decade of complex litigation experience in state and federal court, Chambers practices appellate, civil rights, criminal defense, and estate planning law. Her civil rights practice includes constitutional law, education rights, employment discrimination, and police misconduct.

Chambers was previously a member of NCAJ from 2018 to 2022. Now rejoined, she is a member of the Civil Rights, Criminal Defense and Employment Law Sections and the Women’s Caucus.

Chambers has been mentioned by The Charlotte Observer twice as a potential judicial nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (2022 and 2023). She is best known for successfully arguing Tully v. City of Wilmington, 810 S.E.2d 208 (N.C. 2018), before the Supreme Court of North Carolina, a landmark case which created a new cause of action for government employees under Article I, Section 1, of the North Carolina Constitution.

Chambers graduated cum laude from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, where she served as the Executive Editor of the Ohio State Law Journal, and Parliamentarian of the Black Law Students Association.  After law school, Cheyenne clerked for the Honorable Paul J. Watford of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and years later, became a Partner at a civil rights law firm in North Carolina. Cheyenne joined the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department under the Biden Administration, where she focused her practice on employment discrimination and assisted the Office of Legal Policy with the vetting of candidates for federal judgeships.

Outside of seeking justice for her clients, Cheyenne enjoys mentoring law students and young attorneys, serving it up on the tennis court, playing the violin, and traveling to new destinations.
