Timely, easy, helpful!!

I spent 4 years trying to get a divorce. My now ex husband was more then willing to sign the papers. It was just a matter of finding the legal way in PA. I spent countless hours calling court houses and lawyers. Most of which wouldn't even talk to me without money upfront. I have 2 kids and a mortgag...e I cant afford to pay just to talk to someone. Cairns law office not only offered a free consultation on my case but it took them 4 months start to finish. Including my now ex dragging his feet a little. I was skeptical at first thinking it was to good of a deal. At the end of all of this it was simple, pain free, and by far the cheapest way to go! I would 10 out of 10 recommend them to anyone in need of a civil divorce.

Efficient service

Everything done thru email and snail mail. Clear, concise directions at every step. Divorce granted a week sooner than the lower end of the allotted time range I paid for. I was always kept apprised of the progress.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
