An agreeable unpleasantness

Divorce is an unpleasant misfortune in any case. The opportunity to accomplish the necessary for a less than onerous cost was a welcome relief in the midst of a miserable experience.

Speedy Divorce

I had an excellent experience using Cairns Law Office for my divorce. I was in a time crunch with an upcoming deployment and they were very helpful throughout the entire process. Additionally they made a normally confusing experience very straight forward. There were never any hidden fees and every i...ndividual I worked with was happy to answer any questions I had and explain things in detail. I received my official divorce decree WEEKS before I even anticipated to see it, which was perfect for someone in my situation. Best of all, their prices were very reasonable, and I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of a Divorce Lawyer.

Avvo Rating

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.
