Great service and

James Cairns was very helpful. He explained the entire process in-depth, so I was able to understand the process without confusion or questions. The process can be stressful and long, but he informed me on how long each step would take to be completed, so I did not feel as stressed. The entire proces...s seemed to be completed as quickly as possible in the least worrisome way.

Excellent service

I filed for divorce on July 30, 2020 and it was final on September 15, 2020. This law firm answered any questions I had and responded in a timely manner. Most law firms do not respond but this one did. I would recommend this law firm if you are getting a non contested divorce. I am very happy with th...e outcome. Thank you so much

Fantastic Experience

So easy to use and fast! They were very clear in the instructions for completing and returning the divorce paperwork. They made my divorce very easy and it was done in less than 4 weeks from the date that my divorce was filed! I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for helping ...me close that chapter in my life!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
