Totally awesome lawyer and human being.

I had never filed for a divorce before and David was so helpful and very understanding. He made the whole process quick and painless as possible for me and was fantastic at answering my questions and helping me understand. He is so polite and understanding. I can never thank him enough.

divorce is stressful but Mr. Cairns help relieve some of that!

Don't hesitiate to use Mr. Cairns to handle your divorce. My ex and I need to end our marriage, but we didn't need high fees and more stress added to what is already a tough situation. We looked into other law firms and they were so expensive and always looking for a way for us to argue or fight wi...th each other (maybe to drag out the legal process and charge more $$? who knows?). We are adults. We know what we want. We just needed help making sure everything was handled properly. Mr. Cairns and his firm did just that. We can't thank him enough for his assistance.

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.
