cheap and easy

I have never written a review before but after i got my divorce quickly and painlessly, i had to give cairns a good review. I was skeptical at first. But they told me i could get my divorce done in 3 months. And i did indeed get it done in exactly 3 months. Thanks cairns! Yay divorce!

Fast, easy divorce online.

I was looking for an affordable divorce after having been legally separated for a number of years. Even though my ex-husband lives in another part of the world, each step of the divorce was clearly explained. Questions were answered in less than 24 hours by Attorney Cairns. After I filed all the pap...erwork, the divorce was granted in less than three weeks. Thank you!

Great Experience!

Working with the Cairns Law Offices has been great, I had no idea what to expect or how this whole process worked. But David was really terrific. I always got immediate responses to my questions and emails through out the proceedings. I was slightly sceptical about filing for Divorce over the inte...rnet, and after meeting with another attorney for a consultation who informed me this would cost me about $800 I was a littly leary. But let me assure you this attorney is on the up and up and would work with him again if the need ever arises.

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.
