Excellent

Mr. Cairns handled my divorce. This was a very easy process for me. He is very knowledgable and the instructions and paperwork were very easy to follow. It made what is a very difficult time, easier.

I was happy I made the decision to hire Cairns

I was going through a divorce and I spoke with so many lawyers and the thought of fees and overall costs were so outrageous and stressful. I came across Cairns Law Office and crossed my fingers. Cairns is amazing. They made it so simple with step by step instructions, and they answered all my ...questions in a timely manner. The best part is that it was only a fraction of what I would have paid a lawyer in my area to do. I 100% recommend this law firm and hope that if you are reading this, and need a divorce, it will be as easy as mine.

Quick and Easy!

I am on active duty in the military and stationed outside of Pennsylvania, but I am considered a Pennsylvania resident. Attorney Cairns made my divorce process quick and easy. I was surprised at how quickly my paperwork was processed and finalized! I highly recommend Attorney Cairns to anyone who ...is filing for divorce.

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.
