Affordable, Fast, and Excellent Work!!

I paid on September 1st and my divorce was completed on October 28th, now that is fast. I did pay for the expedited service. The process of answering the initial questions was easy and any questions I had were answered quickly. If you and your ex can agree on terms then this is the way to go.

Hassle Free Divorce

Great experience, I answered the questions, made payment and returned the paperwork; our divorce was granted, no issues fast and easy, quick turn around without expediting. Thank you for making this a peaceful, hassle free process.

Low Cost, Quick, and Stress Free

After 23 years of marriage, my wife tells me she wants out. Fine with me but lawyers are costly. I googled, found Cairns, and read some reviews and then decided to take the chance. They were helpful, low cost, stress free, and quick. I was legally out of this mess in just under 4 months and it didn't... kill me to do it. I would highly recommend Cairns for uncontested divorce.

Very easy, just follow the instructions!

After a failed 8year marriage I need help! Cairns is professional, fast, and helpful in the paperwork! Just remember to fill out everything they send and it'll go smoothly!

Simple and straight-forward

Very simple procedure for divorce, especially with all the detailed instructions and reminders they sent. Was very fast, efficient, and no surprises!

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.
