A native of the Roanoke Valley, legal assistant Cheyanne Cooper has been with Johnstone Law since the firm was established, but she has worked in local law firms since 2002, including with attorney Kristen Johnstone for over a decade. She is skilled in managing the many details of a family law matter that do not require an attorney’s training, allowing Johnstone Law to provide clients efficient, cost-effective service that is tailored to their needs.

Cheyanne’s responsibilities at Johnstone Law include attorney scheduling and preparing correspondence and documents like pleadings, debt and asset lists, witness affidavits, and child support worksheets. Clients may receive emails from Cheyanne regarding their legal matters or their work with the firm.

While clients may not have a lot of face-to-face time with Cheyanne, she’s an essential part of the team that works to ensure a good outcome for the client and their family. She takes pride in playing a role that helps families move forward. In the office, Cheyanne is known for her focus, her attention to detail, and her ability to anticipate the attorneys’ needs and turn tasks around quickly—sometimes before she is even asked!

Outside of work, Cheyanne enjoys going to the gym and spending time with her husband and three boys, as well as the family’s two dogs.
