Excellent Attorney!!

I am very happy with the services I received from James Cairns who was my divorce Attorney. The entire process was very easy and the time from start to finish was less than what I expected.

Absolute best option for a simple, uncontested divorce!

Cairns Law Firm was extremely easy to work with! I was able to obtain affordable & timely settlement agreement, divorce and QDRO filings by simply following a series of clear instructions and completing a few forms, provided by the firm. All of my email questions were addressed by Attorney Cairns a...nd his team, for no extra charge, within 1-2 business days. The whole process was pretty seamless. Attorney Cairns is definitely the man to hire for simple, uncontested divorce services. With their help, I am finally free!

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.
