Uncontested Divorce

I contacted Cairns as I had found the information online and was seeking a cost effective way to get my case handled. I was skeptical because I have a fobia about doing some things online. However there was a phone number so I called it and was pleased by the quick response and all the information I ...was able to get from the person I spoke with. After I submitted all the information and made my payment; I was contacted via email every step of the way with information and also step-by-step instructions about where my case was and what the next step would be. I would recommend this lawyer hands down. I am grateful that I was able to find such a cost effective method with such quality service as if I spent the thousands with a downtown law firm. Thanks again.

100% Pleased!

Mr. Cairns delivered exactly as he said he would. I even had a minor issue that he was able to work out within a day. He also was able to get my divorce completed well above my expectations as far as the time it took. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!

Easy as pie!

I wasn't sure if this inexpensive divorce was a scam or not. But a little research indicated it was legit, so I went for it. The process was smooth and without any problem. The divorce paperwork was processed promptly. The only negative comment I'd make is that their website needs to be improved a ...bit...there are a few places where the information is presented in a confusing manner.

Helpful & Timely

I was skeptical about the advertised uncontested divorce but also very tight on finances so l decided to take the risk and it was an incredibly easy, speedy, and affordable process. Thank you.

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.
