Discover your path to harmony
Cage & Miles will tailor your experience with our dedicated team of highly experienced litigators, whose passion is to avoid litigation through peaceful, timely, and cost-effective resolutions.
We outperform the competition
The vast majority of mediation services do not provide expert guidance, and are often led by inexperienced litigators or paralegals that cannot give you legal advice. When you work with Cage & Miles, you know you're working with the best of the best, and are with an attorney that has a lifetime of insights that are more likely to produce a successful outcome.
Comparable results for a fraction of the cost
The willingness to make compromise and find common ground will ultimately produce an outcome that is similar to that of litigation, but without the drawn out legal battles and painful emotional toll. This commitment typically produces a financial outcome that is highly desirable compared to litigation.
What we look for in our mediation clients
Successful mediation is a two way street.
These are some of the traits we look for when working with our clients.
- The willingness to communicate openly and listen to each other's perspectives
- Openness to work together to find common ground and resolve conflicts peacefully.
- The desire to come to a mutually beneficial solution.
Our Mediation Team
"Over the past 16 years I have litigated many diverse family law matters. I specialize and work with families who may be dealing with complex parenting issues, including families who may or may not be dealing with high assets and complex business valuations. Now retired from litigation, I am committed to working with families utilizing all of my life's experience and expertise to find healthy solutions on the path of peacemaking. I offer in person and online mediation."
"Mediation allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level, really understanding their unique needs and concerns. Mediation is a collaborative journey where we focus on finding solutions that truly work for the whole family, not just ‘winning’ a case. I’m passionate about offering this option because it creates a space where we can work together respectfully and thoughtfully, which ultimately brings more peace and closure for everyone involved."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mediation Confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of mediation. We respect your privacy, and everything shared in mediation stays between the people in the room, within legal limits. This allows you to speak openly, knowing your information is protected. Rest assured that we maintain strict confidentiality, even though litigation records are public.
Will my voice be heard during mediation?
Absolutely. Our goal is to ensure each person feels heard and understood. A mediator is trained to facilitate conversations that encourage openness and respect, and they’ll make sure both of you have the time and space to express your needs, concerns, and ideas for a solution. We believe that feeling listened to is essential in finding a lasting resolution. blandit elit feugiat egestas. Mauris risus leo, tristique nec dignissim ac, ultrices a neque.
