Ross Veta is sincere, smart, and sophisticated. He provided ongoing support through a very emotionally, intense legal situation and was always available to answer questions and help me understand the proceedings and expectations. I highly recommend Ross Veta.

Ross has helped me with my Estate Plan and provided legal advice on many subjects. He is prepared, efficient, easy to talk to, and explains things in a way that non-legal people can understand. Unlike most lawyers, he does not ‘tell you what you want to hear’ – he makes sure that you know the truth about your case and what the chances are of winning it.

Back in 2016 I was left in a quandary; without prior knowledge, my wife left me unilaterally and unexpectedly, and ran off with our 2 year old son. She charged me with Domestic Violence, and filed a Restraining Order against me, with a court appearance that was scheduled 2 days after I was served. It was timed so it coincided with another (older) son’s graduation from Marine Corps boot camp (that I attended, which meant I had to live under a TRO and wait a month for the formal hearing with a judge). Her lawyer was a prominent divorce attorney in the Mission Valley area, so I was quite concerned about defending myself against him and the bogus and spurious charges levied against me. I had to act quickly, so I entered my name into a link on the internet while looking for an attorney to represent me, and voila, I received a call from Ross Veta almost immediately. I was skeptical at first, but after an initial consultation, it was clear he was the right person for the task at hand due to his ‘calming effect’ on the situation I was facing. Ross and I worked together like a team, which is what people really need to do if they intend on prevailing in their case. My estranged wife’s declaration was not only full of lies, distortions, and half-truths, but errors, including the wrong date we were married, with many other absurd allegations that Ross knew how to handle. I don’t know if these errors were hers, or from her attorney, but her declaration was poorly written, and her attorney should have ensured that these absurd allegations were not part of her declaration; they clearly made her out to be foolish and petty. Ross took full advantage of the opposing party’s weak case against me, and focused on those things that truly mattered to the judge. Divorce is an extremely emotional experience, as it was with me, since my estranged wife tried to drag me through the mud, and I was unable to have contact with our young son. I was a great husband to this woman, and supportive through one miscarriage she had, and then the birth of our beautiful son. Ross Veta saw right through everything, and came up with a game plan to deal with each allegation. Needless to say, Ross Veta kept the focus on putting emotions aside and getting through this most difficult time of my life. Ross has a demeanor that can’t be matched and is a very likable person, something that’s rare in the legal profession. If you’re faced with divorce or any legal issue, you can’t go wrong with Ross Veta. The outcome? After 2 days of testimony, including two of my adult children appearing before the judge as witnesses, and before Ross Veta could cross-examine my estranged wife; the judge stopped the proceedings and denied the Restraining Order. He also ordered that I get visitation with my son, who I hadn’t seen in a little over a month, the very next day. After appearing at FCS, I was awarded joint custody and 50 percent visitation. The real kicker was Ross Veta even managed to get my attorney fees reimbursed from the DV case!! Without any hesitation, I also retained Ross Veta to represent me in the subsequent divorce case I filed (as the petitioner), while my estranged wife retained another prominent attorney in the Del Mar area, yet this went as smoothly as it could be. Thanks again for everything Ross!
