EASIEST divorce I ever had!!!!

This entire process was so easy and painless. If I could get married 100 times and end up divorced 100 times I would use James David Cairns III every single time.

Fast, painless, clean, divorce

The Cairns law firm was just what I was looking for. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. Everything went according as said, and there were no hidden fee's, and more importantly the price was not expensive. Not that I ever look to get divorced again, but I would use and recommend the C...airns law firm.

Fast and Easy

I just want to say that this was the best $300 I ever spent. I want to thank the whole team they did an excellent job with keeping me informed on what was going and how long I was going to have to wait. I chose the 4 to 6 week and it took just that. The only thing that help me up was my husband signi...ng. But the min I returned the paper work my divorce was finalized 2 weeks later. Great service and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a divorce attorney

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.
