I never find any other business on Google with hundreds of 5 stars reviews. And now I know why.

I had a no-fault divorce case with Cairns Law Offices which has been granted recently. The whole process went smoothly, with no mentioned effort at my end, and it was the most affordable option I've found. The best part was the timeline that took them to complete the whole process was less than what ...they promised me. They have answered all my questions through email promptly with no extra charges. Not one single cent was charged to my account more than what was mentioned on their website or the agreement I consent before. An amazing firm that I would definitely recommend. And I hope one day they become a spread corporate through the nationwide not just Pennsylvania to help others as they helped me.

Extremely Helpful

James Cairns was very helpful throughout my whole divorce process. I received all of my paperwork very quickly and he replied to my email questions within a day. My divorce was granted quickly and the cost was very reasonable. There were no hidden fees and if there was an additional fee for a servic...e it was clearly spelled out before you chose the service. I am happy I chose this law firm to process my divorce as it made a difficult choice a little easier to deal with. If you are going through an uncontested divorce I highly recommend his law firm.

Jim Cairns

I was a little hesitant at first, I didn't think this was the real deal until I realized he was in my town and actually seen the law office. I then knew I could trust that he was the real thing. I am 100% satisfied with Cairns Law Office. He was a huge help thru the entire process. Thanks again Jim!

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.
