Meredith A. Johnstone is a native New Mexican and a graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law.   Meredith also earned her  Master’s in Business in Administration from the University of New Mexico Robert O. Anderson School of Management.  Since her admission to the State Bar of New Mexico in 2010, Meredith has practiced exclusively in the area of family law.

Meredith has a proud and long history of involvement in the family law community in New Mexico as her father practiced family law here for almost forty years.  Meredith grew up working in her father’s law firm, and  so she understands, and has carried with her into her own practice, the compassion,  knowledge, care, and advocacy that is required when representing a client in a family law matter.  Meredith believes it is very important to make an early determination in how best to proceed in each family law matter, as no case is the same.  Whether it be litigation, mediation, or collaboration, Meredith’s priority is to get her client through their legal issue in the most efficient way possible.  The relationships and reputation that Meredith has developed due to her long-standing dedication and commitment to the family law community are invaluable when assisting her clients in resolution of their legal issues.

Meredith’s involvement and accomplishments in the legal community include:

• Current President of the New Mexico Collaborative Practice Group
• Current Board Member on the Family Law Section of the State Bar of New Mexico
• Current Board Member on the University of New Mexico School of Law Alumni Association
• Selected as a Super Lawyers’ Rising Star in 2018.

When not practicing family law, Meredith enjoys playing volleyball and golf, and is proud to say that her golf handicap is continuing to drop each season!  Meredith can also be found at the UNM basketball and football games cheering on her Lobos!
