One of the best law firms in San Diego. My attorney and the firm were very easy to work with and genuinely cared about my case as well as my personal well being during the whole ordeal. Highly recommend this firm.

Could not be happier with this team. Excellent communicators, quick to respond to all parties, professional, extremely friendly, and understanding. I would refer to anyone in need of a trusted source.

Mike Tiffany

Honest, caring, organized, nothing bad to say about anyone at this firm that assisted with my case. It was a breath of fresh air to have them represent me after my previous attorney dropped the ball. They were super professional from start to finish. I hope I don’t need a family law attorney again - but if I do I know who to call. Money well spent if you want to feel like your case is being handled and have peace of mind during the process. Chelcee and Andrea were amazing. My only regret was not hiring them from the beginning of my case.

SRP

If you have to go through the ugly process of getting divorced, you ABSOLUTELY want Mehry Mohseni on YOUR side. Mehry is a trusted advisor and partner and is always looking out for your best interests. She keeps the process on track, keeps the ex and their counsel honest, and is not afraid to give her clients critical feedback when she thinks that they have unrealistic wants or expectations. As your attorney she will tell you what she thinks you need to hear vs. what you want to hear...which is priceless. I cant recommend Mehry more highly. Do yourself a favor if you are going through a divorce and retain Mehry NOW....before your ex does.

Stece

My experience with this law firm has been nothing short of wonderful! Jaime and Shannon were always there to answer any questions that I had and made the process as easy for me as they could. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing family legal advice.

Stefani T

I was referred to Ryan Goulet by one of our family friends. We had high expectations going into this partnership as the referral source is someone we admire. The expectations were met and then some! Ryan was on top of his game from the very first phone conversation we had, until the entire dispute was resolved. He has incredible response time and any questions I had or clarification I needed, he made sure were answered. He is a no-nonsense type of guy, and is looking out for his clients best interest. I am beyond happy with my experience using Cage & Miles - specifically Ryan, and I suggest them to everyone who asks. If you are looking for a team to really work for you and help you get through whatever situation you are in with as little stress as possible, Cage & Miles is where you want to go!

Stephanie Jones

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. They worked hard on my case and were always keeping me informed on any changes or details of my case. They genuinely really do care about their clients and it's shows! 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

Naomi Fribourg is AMAZING! She has been my anchor throughout my divorce process. I do not believe I would have gotten my dissolution completed and still have my sanity if I did not have her in my corner. She walked me through every ludicrous attacks. I could not have done it without her. Thank you Naomi. You are a ROCK STAR!

Valessa Fox

After a really bad experience with my first attorney, I decided to switch to Cage & Miles because a friend recommended them. So far, Ms. Cage has been amazing! The complete opposite of my last attorney (I'll have some mercy and leave his name out of this review). Ms. Cage has made me feel like her only client from the get go. She is very attentive to my needs and always responds promptly to my questions. My case is not over but so far Jamie seems to know her stuff and I am confident that she will fight for me. I'll try to update this review once it's over.

Valerie B

My attorney was extremely knowledgeable and explained every detail of my case. I loved my experience with Vanessa Gomez and her team

Veronica Price

Very professional service at all times. I was kept proactively informed of all progress. I felt listened to and understood throughout the process. My case was managed efficiently, by a knowledgeable team. I believe this helped to keep my costs as low as possible
