About Cheryl
Cheryl Faas earned her law degree from Willamette University College of Law in 1998. She completed the program at a time when the legal landscape in the western United States was shifting, and she entered the profession as those changes were taking shape. Her academic record places her among a generation of lawyers who trained under a curriculum that emphasized both doctrinal law and practical skills.
Her career has been centered in Arizona, where she is licensed to practice. Over the years she has worked in roles that required courtroom appearances, client counseling and legal drafting. Colleagues describe her as steady in litigation settings and attentive when preparing transactional documents. She has dealt with the routines of case management, discovery and court procedures, building practical knowledge of how Arizona courts operate.
Faas’s experience spans matters that bring lawyers into courtrooms and those that keep them behind desks. She has represented clients at hearings and conferences, prepared pleadings and motions, and advised on procedural strategy. She has also worked on negotiated resolutions and settlement discussions when those options were appropriate. The work demands careful fact development and clear legal writing, and those tasks have been a consistent part of her practice.
Clients and peers have noted her methodical approach to the work. She tends to prioritize clarity and predictability. In court, she aims to present a clean record and a straightforward argument. In meetings, she focuses on explaining the practical implications of legal choices. That style has helped her navigate complex procedural steps and the shifting timetables that often define civil matters.
Outside of casework, she has maintained an interest in staying current with developments in Arizona law. Attending continuing legal education and reviewing recent decisions are routine parts of how she prepares for new matters. These habits reflect a pragmatic approach to professional development rather than public-facing scholarly activity.
Today Cheryl Faas continues to practice law in Arizona, handling matters that bring clients before the state’s courts and administrative forums and providing counsel on procedural and strategic issues.
