Client Testimonials

I highly recommend Cage and Miles if you’re going through a divorce. From the start, Jaime walked me through the process, gathering information and all the while was very empathetic to what I was going through. In nearly every situation, she was able to predict exactly what my ex would do, and in hind sight I wish I had followed more of her advice. This is an emotional time in one’s life, and I let past feelings cloud my decisions.

Bill J

You cannot go wrong with Cage & Miles. They are truly exceptional. I found Cage & Miles at an incredibly difficult time in my life and I found everyone at the firm to be very compassionate to my situation. Jaime is extremely knowledgable and put me at ease. She answered all of my questions and listened to my concerns. I want to thank Jaime and the rest of Cage & Miles for their time, compassion, and exceptional legal advise.

Audra P

It's not very often we experience customer service worthy of special recognition. Recently I experienced a complicated legal issue that gained national and international media coverage. Jaime and her team represented me and patiently explained the alternatives and possible outcomes. Most of my previous experience with legal representation has been disappointing. Cage and Miles set the bar for legal support and earned my highest recommendation. Jaime will represent me in any future legal issues.

Don L

Jaime and her team were amazing. They kept me well informed and I felt like my feelings were being heard. I really had a good team on my side through the entire process. I highly recommend them!

Diana D

I was looking for a lawyer that was familiar with same sex marriage. So I was searching and seaching and I found these wonderful ladies and they helped me so much. I couldn't do it without them. It was quick and easy and they handled everything for me. I couldn't of done it without their help. Thank you Jamie and Shannon. I really appreciate it. Also, I would highly recommend them to anyone including the LGBT community. :-)

Gustavo Salinas Jr

I had a really hard time finding a lawyer in San Diego that was familiar with gay marriage and domestic partnership laws... I was so relieved when I finally had my consultation with Cage & Miles. These attorneys have dealt with many cases similar to mine and were able to help me thru the whole process! I'm so thankful! :)

Gustavo S

I cannot say enough great things about Cage and Miles. I've worked with Jaime and her team for over 2 years now for my divorce modifications. They have come through every single time when I needed them. Jaime and her team are not the type of lawyers that takes your money and do minimal work. They go far and beyond for anything even if the issues are small. They caught things that I did not even notice. Jaime especially takes her time listening to me and giving me the most honest opinion. Initially, I was dealing with my ex-husband by myself to save money, but it became very stressful. I decided to hire an attorney and turned to a professional that can take that stress away. I interviewed a few lawyers in my area, but no one compared to Jaime and her team. I highly recommend everyone to use Cage and Miles.

Katie S

Jaime Cage and her team were invaluable in helping me through a challenging marriage dissolution. I expressed a sincere interest in placing my children first and then have the rest follow. I was not interested in a complicated process that would make an already challenging situation more difficult. Jaime ensured we stuck to my goal every step of the way. Thanks to Jaime I wrapped up this process in two months and can now focus on being the best dad possible.

Jose A

Jaime and Jill are superb! Cage & Miles helped with my MSA over two years ago and recently with post judgment work. I had an incredibly challenging situation and Jaime and Jill helped guide me every step of the way so I was informed and always proactive in resolving the issues at hand. In the end, we succeeded in having the court support my requests because of Cage & Miles honest approach to advocating on my behalf

Jose Arzate

Jaime Cage helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. My ex-spouse had promised in the beginning that our divorce process would be "amicable" but instead hired 3 different attorneys to fight every step of the way. I had Jaime the entire time, and her calm demeanor helped me stay the course, even when opposing counsel continued to demand document after document. She even made sure that any battle I wanted to pursue was worth the attorney fees I would end up paying. She always kept me appraised of developments. I have recommended her to family members who are going through divorces.

Justin G

My experience with Cage and Miles has been exceptional.

Shannon, Jaime, and the entire staff have been outstanding. I highly recommend seeking help from Cage and Miles!!!

I can't even put into words how amazing Jaime and her team were to me. I'm in tears writing this because I will forever be so thankful for their help.

It's always scary trying to find someone you can trust with your case but Jaime, Karen and the rest of the team made me feel secure about letting them handle my case.

Wendy J

Susanne McCall

I was referred to Cage & Miles by a friend, and went in for a consultation with Jaime Cage. I knew right away it was a good fit. Jaime listened carefully, answered all my questions, and was very helpful and supportive. Throughout the whole process, she and her support staff were always there if I had a question or concern. I really appreciate all the did for me! I would highly recommend Jaime Cage

Ann L

Jaime & Shannon did a great job for me. I always felt like I knew what was going on with my case and like they listened to what I wanted. A few times I was pretty upset about my case and Jaime explained everything to me so I could understand and calm down. It's amazing how much they know off of the top of their heads. They are great attorneys and people, and I would recommmend them to anyone else in a heart beat.

Alex G

Great firm. They have been over the top exceptional! I have a "high conflict" case and Jaime has been amazing with every tantrum my ex throws our way. They are also knowledgeable about personality disorders which are helpful in my case. Jaime and Shannon take the time to explain the divorce process and help make a smooth transition for you and your family.

Amy C

I was represented by Jaime and Mehry. I moved and decided to get a lawyer in SD county instead of keeping my lawyers from IE. The best decision ever!!!! They are very professional and respond very quickly. They are very confident in court and thats what you need. I seen lawyers who are lost for words or fumble. They are fierce!! Thank you so much for all your help. Keeping my family safe and getting my restraining order renewed for another 5 years. This is very difficult task to do. I am keeping them in retainer just in case.....

Brendis Rodriguez

Bronson Harker

Jaime is amazing! She was a referral from a friend and she took care of my needs during my divorce. What was amazing was that her consultation was free and never felt pushed to use services. As everyone knows divorce is tough enough and feel Jaime was sensitive to that. As a Christian I am always looking for kind and good people. Jaime is not only been so kind but as a Christian she made it easy and less scary for me. I can only say I was blessed to have her as my attorney. Even if your not Christian, kind people is important to this service. I highly recommend this office to everyone. Carrol

Carrol G

I went to cage and miles after I was referred to them by a friend who's family member had used their services. My wife had filed for a divorce and wanted full custody, and was calling me an unfit parent and denying me even supervised visits. Going to cage and miles I had hesitation they possibly wouldn't be able to help me, but they're great at what they do and helped me get custody of my children I knew i deserved. Thank you very much Jaime Cage I recommend her to anyone needing a very good divorce lawyer.
