Good value, Good lawyer

This was my first time and hopefully last time I need to file for divorce. Anyways I found Cairns law to be very fair as far as cost and was very prompt on preparing paperwork and filing with the court. The whole process was completed in just over 4 months and that was including a 90 day waiting per...iod to file. So yes I am very happy with the whole experience. Thank you Cairns Law Office

Very affordable! Since ex put me in debt! Lawyer made my divorce possible! Thankful!

Yes, I recommend using this lawyer & website. It was affordable for me. I was worried because I have a house and Kids. Therefore, We did a settlement agreement. Both Parties have to agree to the agreement. It took a while for my spouse to finally agree but it was worth it. This was all I could afford.... Therefore, This lawyer made may divorce possible for me!

Mr. Cairns firm made it very easy for me to get my divorce. Not being familiar with doing things online made me hesitate at first but once I started I realized how easy it was. I would recommend Mr. Cairns to everyone.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
