Hired Attorney James D. Cairns III

For couples that agree on how assets should be split and amicable through the divorce process, Cairns Law is safe, easy, and affordable. I saved thousands of dollars by filing my divorce through Cairns rather than a traditional lawyer. I looked into filing on my own and the process seemed very confusing. I went with Cairns and it couldn't have been easier.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy and quickly the process was. I was expecting a more difficult process. The cost was what caught my attention over the internet. I researched a few sites for customer feedback and it was very favorable.

They made a difficult time a little less difficult by being exactly who they say they are and doing exactly what they say they will do. There was no confusion or lack of respect.

After 2 years of struggling to get divorced, I found this firm and within 6 months I got divorced! I paid for all of the premium options, which welas a bit kore expensive, but it was WELL worth it. Absolutely recommend them for anyone who needs a divorce. I'm finally free and it's all thanks to Cairns Law Offices.

Fast, easy to follow instructions, and affordable. However, I would caution anyone that has a spouse that may not fully agree to the divorce and/or its terms. Cairns service is for straight forward divorces only. If you want to speak to someone on the phone, I would recommend hiring an attorney and not going the online route.

Working with this law office was extremely easy and affordable. This was for a non contested divorce and once signatures were notarized I was divorced within a month.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
