Attorney Timothy Czekaj
pronounced /check-eye/
Attorney Timothy Czekaj (pronounced check-eye) is a dedicated litigator with a never-say-die attitude that he developed on the football field in college. While attending Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky, he undertook the daunting task of joining the I-AA Colonel football team as a walk-on. His hard work and perseverance paid off and he earned a contributing role on the team while maintaining Colonel Scholar status, which is reserved for athletes who excel academically.
After hanging up his cleats and graduating with a bachelor of business administration in accounting, Timothy Czekaj attended law school at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in Detroit, Michigan. While in law school, Czekaj worked for a family law attorney, gaining valuable insight into the workings of family law. He also participated in an externship program where he observed the Honorable Vera Massey-Jones as she presided over high-profile criminal cases on a daily basis. He became familiar with the unique processes and procedures of criminal courts as well as the techniques of some of the best attorneys in Detroit.
Timothy Czekaj considers it an honor and a privilege to provide services to people when they need it most. He has represented clients in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, focusing on family law, divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, PFAs, Children & Youth matters, dependency, bankruptcy, mortgage foreclosures and debt negotiations, tax assessment appeals, landlord/tenant law, criminal law, and general civil litigation. He has represented clients in more than 20 counties throughout Pennsylvania, and he currently serves as solicitor to the Dauphin County Clerk of Courts.
Attorney Czekaj lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with his wife and children. Away from work, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and rooting for the Steelers, Pens, and Buccos.
