Interstate Discovery Lawyers in San Diego 

Legal Assistance for Individuals & Attorneys

In divorce and family law matters, “discovery” is the process of gathering important information and evidence to support your case. This may include subpoenas for bank records, depositions of witnesses, or requests for documents. 

Discovery helps uncover facts about finances, property, or family circumstances that courts rely on when deciding issues such as child support, spousal support, or property division. In short, discovery is how both sides obtain the evidence to present a fair and complete picture to the judge.

Whether you are an attorney managing a case across state lines or an individual navigating a complicated family law matter, interstate discovery should not stand in the way of achieving a fair outcome. Our goal is simple: to make the process smooth, efficient, and reliable so that you can focus on the larger issues in your case.

Why Interstate Discovery Matters

Sometimes, the information or witnesses you need are located outside the state where your case is being heard. For example, you may need financial records from a California bank or testimony from someone living here when you reside in another state. 

Because each state has its own rules, an out-of-state subpoena cannot be automatically enforced in California. It must first be recognized and “domesticated” under California law. Without taking this step, critical evidence could be delayed or even lost.

How Andrew J. Botros, APC Can Help

At Andrew J. Botros, APC, we provide practical, cost-effective solutions, including:

• Domesticating subpoenas. We can convert your properly issued subpoena from another state into one enforceable in California for a flat fee. In many cases, we can complete this process in just two to three business days.
• Deposition support. If a deposition is needed in California, we can arrange a stenographer, videographer, or conference room at no additional cost.
• Court enforcement. If the other side refuses to comply, our experienced litigators will represent you in California court, filing motions to compel or opposing protective orders, as necessary.
• Process serving. Through our statewide network of process servers, we handle service of subpoenas and other discovery documents so that your requests are correctly enforced.

What to Expect

Most interstate discovery matters can be handled quickly, often within days. Our flat-fee structure makes costs predictable and transparent, which is particularly helpful for clients managing cases across state lines. 

Generally, the party requesting discovery is responsible for covering these expenses, though the court may later decide how costs should be allocated. What matters most is that the evidence you need is properly obtained, on time, and in a way that complies with California law.
