About Sheneshia
Sheneshia B. Fitts is a Senior Attorney with Triangle Divorce Lawyers who represents clients in Raleigh and communities throughout Wake, Vance, Granville, Franklin, and Warren counties. She has practiced North Carolina family law for 14 years and handles divorce, child custody, child support, separation agreements, equitable distribution, property division, and mediation.
Sheneshia is particularly well-suited for clients facing child custody disputes, property division matters, and family law cases where practical settlement options may be available. She focuses on clear communication, helping clients understand their options, identify their goals, and develop a strategy based on what matters most to them. When appropriate, she works toward settlement while remaining prepared to advocate for her clients in court.
Throughout her career, Sheneshia has gained courtroom experience across a broad range of family law matters, including domestic violence cases and juvenile proceedings involving abuse, neglect, and dependency. She also has experience with mediation, estate planning, and probate. Before joining Triangle Divorce Lawyers, Sheneshia spent seven years in solo practice handling family law and estate planning matters.
Sheneshia believes clients should feel informed and supported throughout the legal process. She helps them understand what they can control, what their next steps may look like, and how today's decisions may affect their longer-term goals. She encourages clients not to let a temporary legal dispute define their future and instead helps them focus on moving toward their next chapter with greater clarity and confidence.
Her connection to family law is personal. As a child of divorced parents, Sheneshia understands how deeply family transitions can affect everyone involved, particularly children. That experience initially drew her to family law, and today she finds meaning in helping clients move through difficult periods and emerge with greater peace, strength, and hope for the future.
Before beginning her legal career, Sheneshia served five years in the United States Navy. Her military service contributes to the discipline, perspective, and commitment to service she brings to her work with clients.
Sheneshia earned her Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University School of Law. She attended the University of South Carolina and earned an associate degree in Paralegal Studies from Midlands Technical College. She also gives back to the community by presenting free estate planning workshops designed to make information about estate planning and probate more accessible.
Outside the office, Sheneshia enjoys reading, traveling, and hiking. She especially enjoys spending time with her sons, whether they are watching a scary movie, enjoying a meal together, or cheering them on from the sidelines at their sporting events.
