Divorce review

This was, hands down, the easiest and efficient process for my divorce. Highly recommended! Extremely thorough instructions!

Hello Lori, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a kind review. We at Cairns Law Offices strive to make this a very easy and pain-free process. Glad we were able to help. Thank you for the high recommendation.

Excellent service

When I first reached out to Cairns law firm I was skeptical, first because I didn’t believe it would be as simple as they explained and with a cost that I could afford. I was able to quiet quick responses with any questions that I’d had as well as quick feedback when there was some I needed to respon...d too. Overall my divorce is final thanks to them. It made a trying time a lot less painful.

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.
