Mr. Emerson guided my through a messy custody case. He handled every aspect of my case from custody to child support. The entire process could have been a nightmare, but Mr. Emerson was on top of every date and continually reminding me of paperwork and such on my end. If you want an attorney very attentive to your case as well as yourself I would highly Recomended Mr.Emerson.

Joe represented the responded and I was the petitioner. Family court was the worst experience of my life and dealing with my child's Mother in court was a roller coaster. But Joe is a stand up guy, treated me with respect and dignity, and I could clearly see he always had our son's interest in mind. Anybody is in good hands with this guy.

I feel like I can trust these guys to do what is best for me. They care and show it. The advice and guidance is both excellent and reassuring though this process.

I was so happy to have found Joe and his wonderful staff to help me with my divorce. From the first meeting until today's final hearing, this team was reassuring and communicative, and made the process very easy. I highly recommend Cairns Law.

Very professional, Jarica Carins was so helpful and knowledgable in family cases. Thanks For your time.

Jerica was GREAT at handling things very carefully, if there are assets, children, relationships, that need either handled delicately or firmly, she will know exactly what to do to protect you and do her best to keep you out of an elongated battle and minimize trauma to all involved parties.

I hired Joseph about a month ago for a nasty divorce which I am in the process of. She has filed false claims and with the help from Joseph we were able to have them dismissed in court. While we are still working on the divorce, I have to say he feels like more than a hired attorney. He has answered any questions, always offered his time beyond what was expected and has given honest inputs and opinions. He gives off the feeling that you are his only client with how much he seems invested in your case. Without his help thus far I feel as if this entire divorce would be out of my hands and I would be losing my daughter which is the most important part of my life. I would recommend him to any and everyone and wish I could as I feel like I owe him something for how great he has been,

Unfortunately my son will be getting a divorce. Through another referral I sent my son to Joe's firm and the kind of language my son used to describe how he was treated and the fast action taken as well as the advice were not typical of my son. He used words like "wow, he's good", "got straight down to business and I had an agreement ready to be delivered in 24 hours". He took great pains to walk him through every immediate detail and asked important questions about what he really wanted to have happen in the future. While it sounds not that uncommon, I assure you it is! If you need someone who cares and gets the job done, then Joe should be your next call.

I recently found myself in unfortunate circumstances regarding an ex-boyfriend and I needed to file an injunction against him for domestic violence. I had never dealt with any thing like this before and it was confusing, scary and a bit overwhelming. Although I asked for advice through the police dept. counseling personnel and realized I could go through steps and forms and a hearing myself, I am so glad I was not alone and Joseph Cairns was there to represent me. I was nervous about the entire process and didn’t know what was considered relevant or necessary for the court to make a decision in my favor. Joe was very patient and understanding when hearing the details of my somewhat embarrassing personal story and made me feel comfortable and reassured. When the hearing date and time arrived I was even more stressed out and nervous then I thought I’d be and thankfully Joe met me there early and was even protective before the hearing began. It was extremely comforting having him beside me in the unfamiliar atmosphere of the front of the courtroom especially with my ex standing on other side starring at me. Thanks to Joe, I feel I was so prepared that my ex must have known and what I thought would be a dramatic, horrific and even tearful display of emotion on either or both sides became a diplomatic and swift verdict. We won! I can never thank him enough because I know things would not have gone the way they did if he hadn’t been there. If I could ever offer anyone advice if they were going through a similar situation I would recommend wholeheartedly to get help from Joe. You need to have someone on your side whom is willing to fight for you and protect you. Thanks Joe (and Jarica too), I owe you!

My Family Law attorney is one of the best attorneys I have ever seen!! Every time we go to a hearing, mediation or any other court appearance, I always feel protected by someone who is willing to go to battle for my best interests and to tirelessly continue fighting for the best possible outcome for my case. Every time the Opposing Counsel (OC) sends a request for a hearing, MORE information, or some other request that is meant to intentionally aggrevate me, it's good to be able to review the documents with Joe so he can help me understand what the other side is entitled to and what they are not. Conversations with Joe always help put things in perspective so that the process is less scary. Joe Cairns with Cairns Law PA is who I'd recommend to anyone (EXCEPT MY SOON-TO-BE-EX WIFE) who is in need of assistance with family law issues. That includes divorce, child custody, child support (both initial and modifications), alimony (both initial and modifications) and even assistance with domestic violence. The experts at Cairns Law can handle it ALL.

I am a victim of domestic violence and Joe treated me like I was his only client, which i definitely wasn't! He treated me with respect and, most importantly, empathy. I feel like he became part of my family. He pretty much held my hand through everything. He really is an awesome lawyer. I recommend him 100%. He handled everything - from the injunction to the child custody to the divorce. He never made me feel like and idiot :).
