Smooth as silk divorce

Divorce is never really easy but it happens. I am so happy that I picked James David Cairns III for my attorney. Not only was the fee reasonable, but smooth as silk and fast! I was informed in great detail every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Divorce is difficult but we are here to make it easier for our clients.

Made a seemingly difficult process easy

I hesitated going through divorce since I've heard horror stories about lawyers rooking you for every little thing, potentially costing you thousands of dollars out of pocket. Who wouldn't be scared of that? Then, one lucky Google search lawyer for Divorce Lawyers PA, I found mypadivorcelawyer.... From my first simple inquiry, they were there walking me through the process. Their fees include all court costs. A flat fee from a lawyer? How unheard of! You can even start the ball rolling for a small payment to help those of us who are now cash strapped thanks to certain circumstances. Straight forward, kind, helpful, empathetic, and HONEST are other adjectives I would use to describe Cairns practice aside from the ratings adjectives. They were even kind enough to answer my multiple questions on the same subject and not in a placating way. This is one sincere practice and I would recommend them hands down to any Pennsylvanian who needs to get a divorce especially a no fault one.

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.
