Review Jamie L. Cage

Excellent

Posted by

Jamie has helped me with my continued divorce issues like the change in our Parenting Plan and Child Support. Her knowledge is remarkable. She is quick to respond and very accurate with what to expect when moving forward in the system. Jamie doesn’t waste my time and is black and white.

She Beat the Odds for Me

Posted by

I came to Jamie with a contested adoption case that was, as she put it, "an uphill battle." She was honest with me from the beginning that the odds were against me. Always responsive and professional, she made all the difference in getting me what I wanted.

Jamie was the best lawyer I could have ever imagined. She was always nice and helpful and fought hard for my family. She is very smart and understands the law. She always made sure I understood what was going on in my case and never pressured me into anything I didn’t want. She always replied fast to all my emails or phone calls. She cared about me and my family and did everything she could to support us. She is the best lawyer in Denver and I would recommend her for anyone who needs legal help.

Jamie helped me every step of the way through a rough divorce . She made sure I understood the financial risk I was taking . She also helped me keep my legal fees down by using her paralegal when possible. She never talked over my head and checked in on me often. She is very kind and understanding but tough when it comes to business

Great Attorney!

Posted by

Jamie is great! She is a very professional, caring, yet no-nonsense attorney who doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. She lets you know your options, and will talk through them with you as many times as it takes. She always tries to do what is in the best interest of you and your family from both an emotional and financial perspective, rather than what is best or easiest for her. I had a very lengthy, contentious battle with a very difficult party and she definitely brought her "A" game to court. She was an amazing litigator which is what you want when your life and your children(s) lives are dependent on the outcome.

Perfect For Your Family

Posted by

Jamie was so easy to work with and understood exactly what was needed to get our case handled. Jamie was always able to respond in a timely manner and made sure that you knew which options were cost effective and gave the best representation. She was upfront, friendly, and above all else, personable and made sure that whatever decisions were made, it benefited the kids. Jamie Rutten has represented my family a few times in separate matters and has always done an amazing job. I'd recommend Jamie for anyone going through Family Court matters.

Nicholas Gaunt, Family Attorney on Apr 6, 2019
Relationship: Worked together on matter

A few days ago one of my clients in Central Texas needed our assistance in returning their grandchild to CO. Jamie was their local CO council and did a REMARKABLE job with getting all the documents we needed to our local judge. When they arrived and I reviewed them, I was simply delighted at the quality of work she had done that saved me hours of research and risking the change that I might appear unprepared to a client that had retained us only the day before (this was a capias hearing, so emotions were already high). Jamie's concise grasp of the matter(s) and her team's rapid response to the developing situation on the ground in TX allowed us to prevail. I highly endorse this attorney. VERY impressed and grateful.

Halleh Omidi, Family Attorney on Mar 8, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse Jamie. She is an extremely dedicated and passionate attorney. As opposing counsel, she was professional and courteous at all times. Jamie is very knowledgeable and experienced. I would not hesitate to refer anyone in need of family law representation to Jamie.
