During my time with cage and miles I felt comforted in what life through my way. I felt that I picked a firm that cared about the stresses life can present. From the moment I called to the very end. I was in the loop with what was happening, what was going to happen and was kept assured I was getting the best representation! Cage and Miles intake department and lawyers are professionals and know the law best. If you want a firm to truly take care of you. I recommend cage and miles!

Former Client

Our experience with Steven Brummer was excellent. We were working through a stressful situation but Steven and his team were so helpful and completely put us at ease. Everything was well explained and we knew we were in good hands. Thank you Steven.

Adam Johnson

I could not recommend Cage & Miles enough. I was involved in a tough custody case, Christina Alkire and Brenda Rozynek were there for me every step of the way.

Adam Valdez

My review is for my experience with John Sylvester. John is a top tier attorney all around. He is an excellent advocate and has in depth knowledge of family law issues. He is also excellent in court--very persuasive, well-prepared, organized, and detailed oriented. He is kind, professional, and fair with billing. He was honest with me when I was faced with a hard litigation decision and never took advantage of me for additional fees. I highly recommend John if you need an attorney who is honest and compassionate, well-versed in the law, and excels in the courtroom.

Alexa White

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

VANESSA and TANIA are awesome. First time being in a custody battle and they were able to answer all my questions and give me a piece of mind. When my court day came VANESSA was able to get me exactly what she had said she could get me when it came to custody. She went into that court room and argued my case with confidence. I walked out on my very first court day with my case resolved and exactly with the outcome I wanted. She’s awesome and will definitely refer her. Her and Tania work wonderful together and are very easy to get a hold of and respond quickly.

Alyssa Jutras

Divorce is a messy business and not always pleasant. Shannon Miles was very knowledgable and matter of fact (which I really appreciated). Her team at Cage & Miles were easy to work with, professional, thorough, and cared about providing a good experience for their clients. I appreciate all of their hard work and follow up to get my divorce finalized. I would recommend them if you need a good lawyer.

Amy Allen

Amazing team of experts - I could not have navigated the past 4 years without their help for custody, child support, bankruptcy and even a name change. Thank you so much Steve and Rob for making my 4 children your priority.

Ana T

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

My lawyer, Tracey Hoppes was incredibly empathetic, responsive, and caring in such a busy time for her, and always made me feel like a priority.

Andrew Parry

Hi - I am eternally grateful for Traci Hoppes and her team at Cage & Miles - on the contrary of being a divorce attorney, she has saved our marriage. Traci is a CFLS (Certified Family Law Specialist) with an abundance of experience and expertise in her field of practice. She is also gifted with her experience and understanding of addiction and how to navigate these troubled waters. She has saved my young children from harm's way, and this is not a debt in which I can repay. Traci has forced my wife to look at herself and made her accountable for her actions, this in turn has brought about her sobriety and her joining AA. She is two years sober now and still working on herself. I am proud of her and her continued sobriety. Thank you again, Traci all the best to you!

Andy Chien

My experience with Steven Brumer was excellent. Though I'm not personally in bankruptcy, I'm connected to one, and the situation is quite complicated. I was referred to Steven, thinking I'd need an advocate. He gave me a very good "education" on how the system works, and ideas on how to navigate it. It was that advice that empowered me to begin the process myself - something I would have been afraid to do before - and as it turned out, I was successful on my own. Thank you so much, Steven! If you need an attorney who is expert at his craft as well as an excellent communicator, and undoubtedly an excellent advocate, I can't recommend Steven Brumer highly enough.

Anita McKewen

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

I hired John Sylvester two years ago while I was going through several issues in my family law case. To date, he has helped me resolve every single one of those issues in my favor. His professionalism and knowledge of the law is second to none. He was always responsive when I had questions. He helped me understand how everything worked, from RFOs, to subpoenas, to trial litigation. John always had a plan, and he was always prepared. He was able to take all the information I gave him and make sense of it all. John never pushed me to spend more money and Rebecca the co-owner was kind enough to work out the financial aspects of my bills with me. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with John, and I have already recommended him to friends and family who want the best family attorney in San Diego.

Anthony C

I was represented by Cage & Miles and their legal Team. Let me start by saying that there is no better law firm to help you with a personal legal matter that you have no idea where to start. I worked mostly with Ryan an Amazing, Knowledgeable, Ambitious, Professional young man with such Integrity. Never leaves an e-mail without being answered promptly. Answers all your questions in layman's terms. He speaks to you with such respect and never lets you feel shot down. It was a long and weary 2+years but there is no other law firm I would have wanted to stand next to me. Thank you!

Ari Hernandez

I cannot say enough good things about Maria and Cinthia and the firm! After a terrible experience with another firm who constantly had me working with different people, never following up with me, and dragging my case out for over a year, costing me so much money, I was discouraged to say the least. I came here where they listened to me, always got back to me quickly, and charged me fairly! Thanks to Maria listening to me and working with me, she got my case settled and got me everything I wanted within a few months of me switching to her as my lawyer. This firm helped me feel like I got my life back and they were such a blessing. They always communicated efficiently and I couldn't recommend a better firm!

Ashley a

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

My ex is a total asshole, I can't thank Cage & Miles enough for putting him in his place and helping me and my daughter get out of a really bad situation. Use Cage & Miles if your husband thinks he can take advantage of you!

Ashley L

They are very good company to deal with the family law, I had Mehry Mohseni and Stephanie they did an awesome job. They will let you know what is going on in your case, help you how the court works and put you in the picture when you go inside the court what you expect to happen. They will prepare you for your court day very well.I’ll recommend them to anyone going through these kind of problems they will do their best for you.

Aya Lockman

Deanne Arthur is like a quiet tiger in the storm--calm, strategic, and relentless. She was my second attorney in a complex case involving international law, and she cut through the noise, closed loopholes I hadn't even considered, and kept the court focused on facts and not family law politics. If you need a lawyer who stays steady under pressure and fights smart, she's the one.

B Haswah/Sofia H.

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

I would give 1000 stars if I could! Jillian Duggan-Herd is the BEST! She and her firm handled my child custody matter with determination, fierceness and FOUGHT for me and my kids. The empathy for her clients is top notch and the knowledge she and the staff have was unmatched in the courtroom. I retained her firm twice and will do so again if need be. I had retained 2 lawyers prior to her and I wish I found Jillian sooner!!! Her firm is the ONLY one I trust. Thank you Jillian!!!
