Quick and Easy

I contacted this law firm to inquire about a quick online divorce. I was hesitant about the process, but decided to hire them based on the instant communication, detailed information, and upfront fees. Cairns Law Firm made my divorce extremely simple; the ability to follow basic written instructions ...(very clearly and simply written) and taking care of minimal paperwork were the only things required of me. Email correspondence was easy, and I ALWAYS received a response in less than 24 hours for every email I sent. I am hoping that I never need their services in the future, but I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone seeking a simple no fault divorce.

Exactly what I needed at a phenomenal price.

My wife and I were going to try to handle the filing on our own. Neither of us have any experience, or the free time. After reading the reviews I was sold. The communication was quick and efficient. Everything was smooth easy to accomplish. The service made a very difficult life event a smooth t...ransition. I am so very thankful that this was available. Anyone who can file an uncontested divorce would do themselves a favor to call this office.

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.
