Amazing!!

I put off getting a divorce because I though it would be too difficult without going to and attorney. I was leary about doing an online one but Jim made it so easy and fast. I am so glad that I can now move on with my life and I have to thank Jim Cairn's for that!

Impressive service!

If you have to go through a divorce and neither of you is contesting any aspect of dissolving the marriage, Mr. Cairns' service is the way to go. His professionalism, communication skills, and attention to detail were evident from my first visit to his website, where he clearly outlines and explains ...the process. I appreciated Mr. Cairns' accessibility and his prompt responses to my questions as well as the convenience of being able to handle practically everything online and at a very affordable fee. I was also pleasantly surprised at how quickly I received my divorce -- in even less time than the extremely reasonable timeframe which Mr. Cairns had advised might be necessary. I highly recommend Mr. Cairns!

Uncontested Pa common law divorce

I obtained my uncontested divorce through Mr. Cairns on line service. I paid in full, and received step by step easy to understand instructions. All correspondence was via e mail and no court appearance was necessary. Mr. Cairns kept me informed as the documents were being processed. My divorce was c...ompleted and I received the original divorce decree in about six weeks. I would recommend this service to anyone seeking an uncontested divorce. Bill S., New Port Richey Fl.

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.
