Fast service, better than I expected

I needed legal assistance on a pretty tight timeline to be able to purchase a property. I found Cairns online, and they seemed to be set up mainly to handle a rapid turnaround, but not to provide much assistance along the way. This turned out to not be the case. During the filing of the paperwork, Ca...irns were available very promptly by email to discuss parameters of the case. The entire experience was way more pleasant than I had predicted it would be, and Cairns did an excellent, and timely, job. In fact, they went out of their way to obtain documents for me as quickly as they possibly could. I appreciated this service. I recommend this firm.

Very Pleased

I was sketchy about doing this over the internet as to maybe I would do it wrong. Everything went smooth and when I did get confused I was quickly helped by this law office. I did hire this attorney and I am so very pleased how quickly this was handled and I was kept in the loop the whole time. Thank... you for helping me to obtain my non contested divorce at a great price, and quick and so much help you explained everything and I was not over whelmed, I felt comfortable with the process!! Would recommend to anyone who is in this position!! Thank you

Online no fault divorce

I applied for a divorce and wanted my maiden name back. I completed all the paperwork on line. Followed the simple instructions and within about a month it was done. I am truly happy and very satisfied with the services.

Avvo Rating

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.
