Process expert, highly responsive

James is an expert in the San Diego County family court system. He knows the judges, how the system works, and will advise you accordingly on what to expect. He is also very responsive and efficient and his rates are reasonable.

Superb Lawyer!!!

James met all my expectations and then some in a timely fashion. We managed to come to a commencement with the other party, therefore preventing any further costly court appearances. I may have had to pay for his services, but he saved me far more in the long run. I highly recommend this lawyer to an...yone that needs assistance in his field of expertise.

Honest, Professional, Compassionate

James was referred to me by a friend who had used his services during her divorce. I'd already called a few attorneys and was not happy with any of them, but as soon as I spoke with James, I felt comfortable. He took his time and answered all my questions thoroughly. When we finally met, I realized h...e would be the best attorney to take on my divorce proceedings. James was calm, honest, knowledgeable, and very professional. I always felt like he was doing everything he could to represent me. My case ended up getting more complicated and lasting much longer than anyone anticipated, but James faithfully did all he could, and all that I asked, to ensure the case was moving forward. He kept me informed, answered my questions, and dealt with the judge and opposing counsel in a very professional but firm manner. I felt like he also did his best to keep my costs down throughout the case. Prayers were answered when my husband and I recently decided to reconcile! Though James didn't end up having to follow through with the divorce, I felt like he even handled this change in situation with grace and dignity. If you are looking for a hard working, honest, professional attorney with real integrity, I highly recommend James Vercollone!

Posted by Ricardo | March 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Knowledgeable Family Law Specialist

A few months back my son's mother filed for a modification of child support and child custody. I was referred to James by a friend who thought very highly of him; after hiring James I understand the high praise. James was accessible, friendly, professional, and made it a point to limit my legal fee...s. I am appreciative that James tried to settle the dispute with the opposing party prior to us leaving it in the hands of the judge. Unfortunately, the other party preferred to have our case heard by the judge. While James argued my case he gave facts and supported his argument by citing the law in support of those facts. I was very impressed by James knowledge of the law and his presence in the court room. I left the court room that day with a smile on my face, all thanks to James. I do and will continue to refer James to people dealing with child custody or divorce.

Reduction/Termination of Support Payments

James was excellent in achieving the results I was seeking, He knew exactly what needed to be done and executed the process timely. After 17 years of paying spousal support, I now have a greatly reduced amount that will go to ZERO at the end 2015. James did not handle my original divorce, although... I truly wish he had. I would recommend James to everyone!
