San Diego Domestic Violence Attorney
Protecting Your Safety, Rights, and Future
Domestic violence cases require swift legal action — whether you need protection or are defending against false accusations. At Annis & Vercollone, we help clients across
San Diego County file or contest restraining orders, navigate sensitive family dynamics, and protect what matters most with experienced, strategic legal representation.
Why Legal Help Is Critical in Domestic Violence Cases
California courts take domestic violence seriously. A restraining order can affect where you live, your access to children, gun rights, and your standing in ongoing custody or divorce matters. Whether you are seeking protection or defending against an order, your case must be presented with care, evidence, and clarity. As a
Certified Family Law Specialist, James R. Vercollone knows how to handle these cases with urgency and legal precision.

Focused Strategy. Clear Counsel. Real Results.
We approach domestic violence cases with equal parts compassion and strength. These matters are often emotionally charged and complex. Our job is to give you legal clarity, protect your rights, and move quickly to secure the safety or defense you need — without delay or missteps.
