Posted by Michael | October 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation
Took a little longer than expected, but I filed during covid-19 shutdown.
I hired my lawyer during covid-19. They were very prompt with emails back and forth. They send detailed emails with pdf for you to print out sign and notarized then send back to them within weeks you are divorced! I highly recommend and the price is pretty reasonable. Simple and sweet if your divorce...

Awesome Service during Pandemic
Going through a divorce is never expected and can be challenging with what to do with property, life insurance, custody and all the things that can go with it. Cairns Law made this process smooth and explained everything along the way. I would definitely recommend their uncontested divorce.

I uncontested divorce and name change
The entire process was quick, informative and very easy. Must follow their directions precisely. My divorce and name change was completed in less than 45 days. I did chose the expedited option but the entire process was seamless. I highly recommend.
