GREAT DIVORCE LAWYER

I'm so very fortunate that I found Jim Cairns to represent me. He has made the whole divorce process very, very easy. With the step by step instructions that he clearly lays out for you to follow, you cannot go wrong. The affordability of my divorce was unbelievable. Communication is crucial, whene...ver I emailed him he got right back to me. I would highly recommend Jim Cairns. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Outstanding Service

He advertised that he would handle my case quickly, efficiently, and as painless as possible. He was right. I never expected things to go this smoothly. No hidden costs. You know what you will pay before you hire him. I absolutely recommend this lawyer. Outstanding service.

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.
