James Vercollone just "gets it done"!

James navigated my 5+ year divorce through 5 different judges, overly aggressive opposing attorneys, and even my vindictive ex-wife who was self-represented for a couple years. James takes it all in stride, never getting too high or too low, always working in a completely professional manner. I hav...e hired and built 100+ person computer design teams and have had to become an accurate read of character and competency through that process. I hired James because I could tell he was HONEST and SMART, two qualities I hold in high regard. I was not disappointed. James was honest in all the dealings I have been involved with him in, and he always took the high road even in the face of malicious attacks on my character by the opposing attorney and my ex wife. James navigated a very complex breach of fiduciary duty trial masterfully. He is open to his client's ideas and openly strategizes with you, but will not let you get too far "off the reservation" as it were! He is an excellent read of the judge's temperament and inclinations both in real time and when processing the court proceedings at the end of the day. I cannot give someone a higher recommendation that James, which is especially meaningful in a profession that has many people of questionable values (sorry if you are a lawyer, your colleagues give you a bad rap). No matter what your family law matter, James will just "get it done" by negotiation, settlement, or trial. I have tried all three paths with James at the helm and was impressed and ultimately very satisfied with a fair judgement.

Awesome Lawyer

James is awesome! Helping me through the process of receiving child support for my adult son with special needs. He kept me up to date the whole way through. James is very caring. I highly recommend his services.

Wonderful, professional, supportive with the best result possibke

A horrible divorce with a ton of exposure. Mr Vercollone was consistently supportive despite hostile, awful situation. An expert in the laws. Went to Court when we had to, avoided when we could. Would not have gotten through without his help. He was always there for me. Much appreciated.

Posted by Omar | June 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

An excellent Family Law Attorney

Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences anyone will ever undergo. James was able to make this process go very smoothly for me. He made sure every question I had was answered, looked out for my best interests, and I was very pleased with the outcome of my divorce. I strongly recommend James ...for any family law matters.

Posted by Kathy | February 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Nothing short of Amazing!

I hired Attorney Vercollone to assist me with the custody of my grandson. We live in Kentucky and the matter of custody was held in San Diego. He was amazing. Very professional, compassionate and understanding. His communicate was top notch. He answered all my emails and calls in a timely matter.... Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain all legal matters in a language I understood. I was truly blessed to work with such a great attorney. I would recommend Attorney Vercollone to anyone I know and would use his services again if need be.
