Awesome way to obtain a divorce. Easy, painfree and fast.

You can't go wrong if you follow the directions, which are provided from the onset of your paperwork. The firm keeps you informed and updated throughout the process. This is my second entry as I posted a review when I initiated my divorce. Now that it is complete, definitely worth posting again.

If you want cheap, easy and fast, go with Cairns.

Found Cairns online, read all the great reviews. Once you sign-up via thier website, they send you step by step instructions on what paperwork needs to be completed and signed and/or notorized, then they file your paperwork with the court. Thier fee includes all court fees as well. It was so simple, ...was kept informed of progress along the way, had my divorce and name change affidavit within 6 weeks, and it cost me less that $250...

Such a simple process

I waited over 10 years to make this move. The process was simple and I was informed of every step. This law firm has set a standard that will be hard to beat. I have passed this information on to many people. Thanks for the best gift in a long time!

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.
