When your family is going through significant change, your choice of family law attorney can have a major impact on the outcome of your case and your family’s future. It’s important to work with an attorney who understands and cares about your needs—and has both the experience and the ability to achieve your goals in the way that is best for you.

At Johnstone Law, we take our responsibility to our clients seriously, because we know what’s at stake for them. We are honored when they refer their friends or family to us. Here are some of the reasons clients in Roanoke and Southwest Virginia choose to work with Johnstone Law—and why we might be right for you.

Decades of Experience in Virginia Family Law

There is simply no substitute for experience. Founding attorney Kristen Konrad Johnstone has over 27 years in Virginia family law matters, including divorce, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and more. She knows not only the law that applies to your case, but the local courts and attorneys who will be involved in the outcome. Associate attorney Michael Darmante has worked closely with Ms. Johnstone since graduating from law school in 2016. Our attorneys’ extensive experience in family law matters gives them a track record of positive results for their clients.

Family Law is All We Do

It doesn’t matter how long a law firm has been practicing family law if family law is not a priority to them. At Johnstone Law, family law is not just a service we offer- it’s all we do. That exclusive focus has helped us remain current with developments in the law and the issues that matter to our clients. Our clients always know that they, and their legal issues, are our central focus.

We Communicate and Empower

Lawsuits, including divorce, involve a lot of documents. But we understand that family law matters aren’t about the paper—they’re about the people. That’s why Johnstone Law’s priority isn’t pushing paper through the court system- it’s helping the real people involved in every case. We take time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. We help you to understand what to expect from the legal process. And we work hard to give you the resources and the confidence you need to move forward after your family law matter is resolved.

Your Family Comes First

Lengthy court battles are profitable for attorneys, but they are rarely good for families. While Johnstone Law’s attorneys have the experience and skill to fight for you at trial if necessary, we know that a negotiated resolution is usually less costly and better for your family in the long run. We prioritize getting you the results you need without unnecessary cost and conflict.
