Jim Cairns Law Office

I found my dealings with Jim Cairns law to be exactly according to expectation. The requirements were well articulated and completed according to what was promised. Along the way I had a few questions, all of which were answered promptly and to my satisfaction. If you can file a mutual consent div...orce this is the way to go!

Painless legal process

Attorney Cairns handled my divorce and the process was very easy. There was a small misunderstanding in the wording on the instructions for getting the paperwork signed and out of quality customer service, I was not charged the customary $35 fee. Attorney Cairns was well worth the money spent on fi...ling my divorce. Not to mention that I didn't have to see the inside of a courthouse or prothonotary office.

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.
