Great Service!
Hired Mr Cairns law firm to expedite my non contestant divorce. Very professional service and everything went as promised from start to finish. Divorce was actually completed before scheduled time frame which is very much appreciated. I will gladly recommend Mr Cairns services when a need arises.

Effective
He was very effective and prompt to reply to my messages. The divorce was done within the time frame and which was worth commending. The only bad side is that I haven't received the original copy 8 days after . Still waiting for it.

Replied last March 11, 2020Thank you for taking the time to review our firm. I am glad to know that your divorce was completed quickly. We wish you all the best moving forward. I am sorry that you have not received your divorce decree yet, however, once the decree leaves our office we are at the mercy of the US Postal Service to provide the service we paid for. Also, we give you several opportunities to select to have your divorce decree mailed to you via priority mail with tracking and elected not to have that service. No worries, we can always order a new decree from the court for you should the need arise.
