Reviews

I highly recommend the services of Cage & Miles, LLP. Jillian Duggan-Herd has been representing me for years and I trust her sincerely. She was recommended by another attorney in San Diego who referred to her as "the best."

Excellent experience! Maria Spear (Family Law Lawyer @ Cage & Milles, LLP) was excellent. Not only did she take the time to review my case, but also was quick in responding truthfully to any questions or concerns that I had. As family law can be a sensitive matter Maria showed the utmost professionalism in handling my case. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone that is looking for an honest and professional lawyer. Cage & Miles, LLP as a whole had excellent customer service from the paralegals to the billing department.

Jamie Learakos is one of the best attorney's managing and leading clients through complex family law structure by providing on point assertion throughout the process. She's constantly available and responsive which is critically important navigating through the complexities and dynamics of family law.

Steven Brumer is an excellent attorney and is very compassionate with his clients. He is thorough and easy to work with, always gives a quick response. I cannot say enough about his excellent work-highly recommended!

Steven set my mind at ease immediately. My situation felt incredibly difficult and extreme. After our initial consultation I knew that when the time came for me to act that Steven was the perfect professional for me to hire. He was very diligent dotting every “i” and crossing every “t” while carefully explaining each step through completion. I can’t imagine anyone else doing a finer job. Thank you!

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!!!

Jillian Duggan-Herd and her team are exceptional! They helped me through an extremely difficult time with compassion, empathy, and professionalism. They were always available for questions and would respond in a timely manner. I have no hesitation in recommending her or utilizing her again if I ever have the need.

Fantastic experience with the firm. I was represented by Jamie Learakos and she did an amazing job which resulted in outcome beyond what I expected in my family case. She is very thorough and was extremely professional in helping me understand the process and expectations from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Jillian Duggan-Herd guided me through a very stressful and contentious process with a level of care and expertise that far exceeded my expectations. During some very dark times, when I feared for the safety of my child, Jillian’s steady counsel was a source of comfort and hope. She handled my crisis with efficiency and professionalism, and I could not have asked for a better outcome! Jillian has fought hard for me at every turn. Her knowledge and experience enabled us to navigate the obstacles that threatened to derail the process, including situations involving returning my child from another state. Throughout the entire trying ordeal, Jillian and her team kept me well-informed and well-prepared.

I highly recommend Jillian Duggan-Herd, Certified Family Law Specialist, Chelsea E. Flamenco, Paralegal and the entire team at Cage & Miles, LLP. I hired Jillian Duggan-Herd to represent me in my divorce. Jillian was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her to always be better prepared than opposing counsel. Jillian’s knowledge of the law and judicial system was outstanding. After my divorce proceedings I reached out to Jillian, she provided guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post-divorce, inspires me to be a better person and standing up for myself -- which has been crucial in helping my son and I move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend Jillian Duggan-Herd, Certified Family Law Specialist, as well as Chelsea E. Flamenco, Paralegal and the entire team at Cage & Miles, LLP.

It's not easy to combine pragmatism with something as personal as family law. Maria Spear has a unique ability to clearly and quickly distill empirical truth from the excess information and emotion that tend to muddy the waters of family and custody litigation. Unfortunately, it took an an extensive trial and error process to find this group. Heine is quoted saying "Experience is a good school. But the fees are high." As someone who is not big on online reviews, I'm writing this in thought of the next person who experiences the pains and uncertainty of this process: there is no substitute for excellent legal counsel when your family affairs' are in jeopardy. Cage & Mills is an excellent firm.

I am highly appreciative of Ms. Duggan-Herd's representation in my child custody case. With thoroughness and empathy, she tackled negotiations that were overwhelming and upsetting. Thank you, Jillian, for your work!
