High Integrity Experienced Knowledgeable!

James Vercollone is the ultimate professional, he is a person of the highest integrity. I am so thankful I finally found James to represent me in a very long difficult divorce. James was my third attorney and my ex husband also had three different attorneys, so I have seen how different family law ...attorneys work. James is knowledgeable and experienced and it is evident in his written communications to Opposing Counsel and his Courtroom successes. Also, incredibly important he was excellent at responding in a timely manner to all my questions and concerns no matter how small. His communication skills cannot be matched. James is always calm, compassionate, respectful and will tell you the truth. Family Law is complicated and the court system is not easy to navigate, James knows all the ins and outs of it all and will be by your side throughout the difficult, emotionally draining process. I highly recommend James without reservation. He is a five star attorney!

Above and beyond in service !

I hired James in 2020 my divorce was a complicated but took over two years because of disagreements. James fought for me every step of the way and was very thorough and knowledgeable on how to handle every situation. He handled my case very professionally as well as keeping my feelings and wants als...o at the fore front. We had to file several different motions and James always kept me updated and explained every step of every process I was never left in the dark I always felt comfortable and in the end, I listened to his advice instead of my emotions and the outcome I couldn’t have been happier with. James is extremely professional and a great people person.

reliable, professional, experienced and informative

My divorce took almost 3 years and was quite contentious. One of the things that I liked best about working with James is that he explained everything that I asked about. This helped me not only feel confident that he knew how to best counsel me on how to proceed, it helped me understand the terrain ...so that I could make the most informed decision. He was always calm, reassuring, and easy to get a hold of. He even worked when he was on vacation and my ex was pushing to get the financial settlement done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in San Diego going through the hell that I went through.

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!
