Life changer here yall!!!!!

My story I got married in 2006 and by 2007 I knew that I'd gotten married for all the wrong reasons. He went to jail after a drunk fight and I left. It took him 8 yrs to find me threw fb and he was still the old him. I made it clear to him that I was happy and wanted no parts of him! He told me that... if paid for it (Divorce) he'd sign.. well baby it was about 1:00 in the morning when he said this. I googled cheap divorce in my state (Pa) and I read the reviews and choose them CAIRNS .... It was a fast and very easy process all you have to do is READ! It was about 2 1/2 months and as of 6-1-2017 I have my DIVORCE decree in a frame lol. I'm in a really great place in my life and it felt like FREEDOM!!!! I can marry the man of my dreams! I can truly ENJOY LIFE... I recommend them to everyone because they helped CHANGE AND TAKE BACK MY LIFE!!!

Excellent Attorney, Honest, Easy To Deal With, And So Inexpensive

I refused to pay outrageous lawyer fees for a divorce that was uncontested. James Cairns advised me step by step during the entire process. He provided exact costs and a time frame that ended up on the shortest side of the time frame and a support system that was never out of touch, he did 98% of the... work and other than me having to follow simple directions, this had to be the easiest divorce ever! I highly recommend this lawyer as he was totally upfront and honest and easy to deal with!

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.
