Due to recent arrest and possible felony conviction, I needed professional, experienced legal counsel immediately. Not really knowing how to go about obtaining such, I noticed a web ad for Domenic Lombardo defense attorney, 19 years of success. I highly doubt that I could have made a better choice. He and his associate Jay Temple are very professional, confidential, knowledgeable and thorough defense attorneys. Their knowledge of the law and process to get the best outcome possible is truly incredible. At any time they were happy to answer any questions I had, which also helped dwell my anxiety. My case seemed fairly straight forward, and I didn't have much hope. With Domenic and Jay on my side, I gradually became less anxious, and more hopeful. My case ended with a dismissal, these guys really know what they are doing! I can't say enough about their professionalism and knowledge of the...
Two years ago we were living on the other side of the country and got "that" phone call that our 21 year old daughter was in trouble. After asking a few folks we trusted Attorney Lombardo was recommended to us. I thank God every day he was put in our path. This man is the man you want standing up for you when your world is about to fall apart. We are just finalizing this journey and if not for Mr. Lombardo our daughter would not be getting the second chance she is. Tomorrow this nightmare ends and it is thanks to Domenic Lombardo's hard work, diligence and yes belief in our daughter that things have turned out the way they have. I can't say enough to let you know your money is well spent when you hire attorney Lombardo. To the negative poster, all I can say is something...
Domenic was superb. He has a winning attitude about him and carries himself with tremendous pride. It is evident that Domenic takes his practice and clients very seriously. When you meed Domenic, he has this warming sense about him, but in his eyes you can see that this is a man who doesn't lose. When I was accused of a horrible crime I scoured the internet looking for someone to help me through this terrible time. I had never been in legal trouble before and didn't know where I should turn nor who I could trust. I searched on sites like this one, called a few numbers, and interviewed a handful of criminal defense attorneys. Hands down Domenic was the best; there were no close seconds. Domenic dissected my case down to the bare essentials and kept me ease throughout the legal process, explaining every details and assuring me...
The second I met Domenic I knew he was the attorney I was going to hire. I had met with many other attorneys; however Domenic was the only one that put my mind at ease and made me feel like everything was going to be alright. He discussed every possible outcome of my case, and explained everything I needed to know. He took away the "fear of the unknown"; I was confident that he would get me the best possible outcome for my case. He said "I will not stop until I get what I want". When I was arrested he was in vacation in Mexico But that did not stop him from giving 100%, and he immediately began working on my case. He called me from a cellphone in Mexico, and I could hear the waves crashing against the sand. Even before I had officially hired Mr. Lombardo, he...
I was pulled over in my home state a couple months ago for an expired registration, and minutes later I was in the back of a police cruiser. I thought I had satisfied the terms of my felony probation 10 years ago, but it turned out that I hadn't and a warrant had issued for my arrest and extradition. Luckily, it was so far, that they didn't want to extradite me. I immediately went online searching for information and representation for my situation. I came upon Mr. Lombardo's site, which is very well put together, and got an initial feeling that he specialized in my type of case: probation violation. Long story short, I called him, and he got right to work. He gave me an up front flat fee to resolve my case. He listened to my explanation and gave me an honest evaluation. But most of...
I hired Mr. Lombardo for my daughter, Jasmin in March '10. I was surprise when he offered to go and talk with Jasmin in jail before I even retain him as an attorney. Also, the fact that I could reach him any time was very refreshing from an attorney! He is extremely polite. He RESPONDS, he CARES, he PERFORMS. He is reasonable and does his homework in advance. The result was my daughter was released without a strike. Domenic Lombardo is a best defense attorney you can buy. He has my vote for conduct, knowledge and professionalism. Thank you Domenic!

I'm at Attorney, but don't practice in Criminal Law. When a family member needed criminal representation recently, I was given Mr. Lombardo's name by one of my law partners. I'm glad that he did: For a very fair price, Mr. Lombardo represented my relative over the 2-1/2 months it took to resolve his case. Throughout that time, Mr. Lombardo was only a phone call or e-mail away; I know that he always responded promptly to developments in the case. At my relative's request, I sat in on several meetings, and found Mr. Lombardo to be empathetic and thorough. He explained the intricacies of the criminal justice system in a way that my relative could understand, and also was very frank about the pros and cons of the case's possible result. It turned out that the result was good one, and I think that's in no small part due to Mr....
We are not talking an easy case. My husband was charged with several felonies
involving firearms. It was Mr Lombardo who personally took the case. He understood that my late husband was a good man but was dealing with some depression and drinking issues that got him into this mess. It was my initial request when i was seeking someone to represent him that he did not need the incarceration but mandatory treatment. Mr Lombardo agreed
I was impressed, as was my late husband, on how Mr. Lombardo handled the case. We were well informed what was happening, what he was planing to do and what he foreseen as the possible outcome.
At the initial hearing he was very professional and respected by his peers. We were able to avoid a mandatory restraining order. While we waited for the next hearing he research thoroughly to get every possible...
I could not be more pleased with the services of Domenic Lombardo. I retained Mr. Lombardo after hiring another very prominent attorney in the Los Angeles area. There was no comparison. I should never have looked outside of San Diego county for my defense. My case was a San Diego criminal matter and the knowledge of the San Diego Courts Mr. Lombardo provided made all of the difference.
I have hired many lawyers in the past. It is rare to find an attorney that is honest with you, listens to what you want, and does what he says.
Look no further than Dominic Lombardo if you are searching for a criminal defense attorney in San Diego county.
Mr. Lombardo has helped in a few disputes which have been brought against me. His knowledge and extensive research of each of my cases were surperb and to the fullest. He has all of the necessary skills and contacts in order to get the job done. He is very professional in his demeanor and his attitude towards the profession he has choosen. He will be respectful of your needs and will tell it how it is.
Mr. Lombardo has been a very easy attorney to work with and i have had desirable results on all of my dealings with him. I was facing a string of bad judgements, and he produced positive results for me.
I would highly reccommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone whom is seeking a skilled and professional advocate to your situation. He is honest and truely caring of his clients. He has done nothing but right by...
I have used several lawyers in the San Diego area. No one comes close to Mr. Lombardo. He doesn't miss a detail. He is a master at his work. I have retained his services 5 times. I have high regards for Domenic. He is a superior in his quality of work.
I retained an attorney to handle my case back in November. The previous attorney never returned my calls, emails or text messages after he was paid his retainer. My situation was urgent so I searched out a new attorney and explored my options. That is when I found Domenic Lombardo to handle my case. It is very difficult to make a decision on which attorney would best represent your matter. I have retained several attorneys in my past for various situations. Let me say Domenic Lombardo is by far one of the most professional and responsive attorney’s I have had represent me in legal matters. He represented me and handled my matter in an expedient and aggressive nature. Domenic Lombardo is very knowledgeable of the law and considerate of his client’s legal situation. I would recommend Mr. Domenic Lombardo to anyone in need of an excellent attorney.
A professional and efficient attorney. Kept client well informed on legal procedures. Never once was I left in the dark about my case, I was notified on a regular basis, and was assured that he was doing his job. I highly recommend this attorney for his professionalism and experience.
Mr. Lombardo is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable in his field, he always keeps you inforned, and knows the system very well. I was looking at 3 years in prison and I did 30 days public work service, drug rehabilitation, and three years probation. After a little over a year of probation Mr. Lombardo was able to get my case expunged. I would highly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone needing a lawyer in his field. He is worth every penny.

Domenic Lombardo is a lawyer who knows the law! I highly recommend him. I have used him on several occasions and have referred many friends & family to him. Every single referral has reported an A+ rating back to me. Domenic is powerful, assertive, trustworthy and reliable. He is prompt in returning my calls and responding to emails. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. I highly recommend Domenic to anyone interested in the best criminal lawyer in San Diego!
Through his professionalism and compassion and high intellect, Mr. Lombardo has made a very unpleasant and stressful experience considerably more tolerable. He consistently and vigorously adovocates for his clients and possesses a fiery determination to defend persons like me who have been wrongly charged with a crime. I have the highest regard and profound respect for Attorney Lombardo and would heartily recommend him to those in need of a top criminal defense attorney in San Diego.
I was arrested on multiple felony charges last year in San Diego, CA. My father lived in another state and found Domenic by luck to represent me. Domenic is highly respected in the courtroom and there to help. He was always available by phone, even on the weekends, no phone tag. Domenic is now handling the expongment of the felony charges that I was arrested for last year. Amazing!!!
I would seriously recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone in trouble, he is truly a good lawyer and person.
Thank You Domenic for all you have done and continue to do.
I Obtained Mr.lombardo when i wanted to have my probation changed from formal to summary,because my husband is in the military and we were moving to another state. When we went to court the D.A and the probation office was against me leaving and mr. lomardo told the judge my situation and the judge approved the change of my probation to summary. i really wished i would have obtained him in the beginning when i was arrested,but i had paid alot of money to another attorney in vista,ca that really did nothing for me. i would recommend mr. lombardo to anyone needing a defense attorney. he is very smart,wise,honest and fees are very reasonable. Thank you so much Mr.Lombardo for every thing you done for my case.
Thanks,
Tashina

I was charged with a firearms misdamenor in California back in feb 2009 i was clueless in finding an attorney to help me get out of this mess. Im from Texas and happend to come across some good reviews on Mr. Lombardo. we got in contact and i trusted him with taking care of me while in Texas and while deployed to Iraq. He got my charged dropped to a lesser crime in order to keep my job and also got my 3yr probation dropped in just a matter of a few months after i had contacted him. He was fast to get on my case and always kept me informed throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Mr. Lombardo as he helped retain my job and saved my career.
I was a cliant for Mr. Lombardo in March '10. He spent 3 hours to hear the case before talking about money or retained as my attorney. I could reach him any time! He is extreamely polite. He RESPONDS, he CARES, he PERFORMS. He is reasonable and does his homework in advance. He has my vote for conduct, knowledge, and professionalism. Dominic Lombardo is a best defense attorney you can buy. Thank you Domenic for winning my case.

I sincerely believe that Mr. Lombardo saved my son from true disaster and my family will be indebted to him for ever. Thanks to his efforts the outcome of the case was beyond our best expectations. On top of that he went beyond his professional obligations to educate and advise my son so that he could get back on the right track in life. I strongly recommend him if you have a loved one in trouble.

This Attorney is "ONE OF A KIND". Never in my LIFE TIME have I come across an Attorney so knowledgeable, efficient and responsive to his clients. It is unbelievable, the service he provides. As a paralegal, I have been around lots of Attorney's, this one is just amazing!
I am so very grateful for the services he provided for me. Once again, THANK YOU! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! for your outstanding service.
The Law offices of Domenic Lombardo handled my late husband's case.

Domenic was helpful from the very beginning. I had questions over the phone he helped me, until things took a turn for the worst and he had to call me in his office, we thought nothing was going to happen but it did and the D.A tried to get me on a felony charge,which domenic ended up proving there was no case so the D.A ended up rejecting the case,so its not going to a court case,which saved me alot of money and more than that a ton of stress,I can't thank him enough,and he is so easy to talk to, I felt like his friend and not just a lawyer,I recommend him to anyone who wants the best personal and knowlegable lawyer you can get.
I would never wish what I went through on anyone and nor would I ever want to go through it again. I believe all experiences good or bad have something to be taken away from them and in this case it changed my life for the better. If it was not for Domenic, I do not know where I would be today. Because of his unquestioned commitment and passion to see my case through, I would proudly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone. Thank you again, Domenic!
Trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed. Mr Lombardo was "Excellent" in all of the above. Very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend him. Told him "I hope I never have to call you again but... your number is in my phone".
Mr. Lombardo is the best. I was facing some very serious charges and was afraid of doing jail time. He was very caring and supportive. He guided me on what i had to do. Was very familiar with the laws. He got the felonies dropped and got probation instead of jail time. He is definitely the man you want on your side.
Domenic was more on top of things regarding my case then i had ever imagined. As this was my first time dealing with anything like this he made me feel extremely confident at the desired outcome. He was so confident and organized that it gave me the confidence I needed to take this thing on. My case was dismissed after Domenic destroyed the prosecutions case. He had my case dismissed before we ever went to trial. His rates are low for such superior service. I would recommend him to anyone engaged with the Legal system. Operates with 100% integrity.
Domenic was superb. He has a winning attitude about him and carries himself with tremendous pride. It is evident that Domenic takes his practice and clients very seriously.

We cannot speak highly enough of Domenic Lombardo. Recently our son and his friends were involved in a prank. Although there was no theft or damage to property, the police seemed determined to handle it as a felony. We found Mr Lombardo online through reviews like this one. We were extremely happy with his efficiency and professionalism. Mr Lombardo moved very quickly before a charge was formally filed and successfully convinced the police to drop the matter. Of course we hope never to have to deal with a police matter again but if it happens we will call him again. His fee was reasonable and worth every penny to us.
Domenic was an excellent attorney and handled my matter professionally and without wasting time. His knowledge and connections in the legal community made me feel at ease in a time of need. I would recommend him without a second thought.
After several disappointing meetings with typical DUI attorneys, I decided to hire a criminal lawyer for my unusual case. Domenic’s initial consultation surpassed all the competition. I found an attorney that gave me answers and did not feed me unnecessary sympathy and want to hold my hand through the process. He was all business when it came to the details of my case. Domenic was confident and strategic with all the decisions forward on my multiple felony DUI case. I preferred his style of no BS and realistic predictions towards the best/worse case scenarios of my charges. He always responded to all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and kept my mind at ease throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and amazing retention of my restriction and court dates was impressive. From the very beginning, he was a relentless advocate for me when dealing with the...
I was charged with two felony assault accounts. I had no priors. However, the most important facet to a D.A. is getting a criminal conviction. Both of these accounts entailed years in prison (one account alone was 3-4 years in prison. Jail was more likely based on having no priors. The case that was prosecuted was two felonies. I initially had another attorney that had a felony criminal record. Thus I fired him and began a search for a new attorney. I asked several knowledgeable people who I should hire. I was given several names and conducted a search. Domenic seemed to be the best choice after the research. The District Attorney would not agree to reduce the charges to a misdemeanor/no-contest.
Domenic was always on time, professional, and courteous. He explained the facts and how the case was going to develop. He also explained how the prosecution was going...
I had never been in trouble with the law before or had experience with any other lawyers, but when my revengeful (then) husband decided to make a false accusation of domestic violence against me, I knew that this was serious and I needed the best representation possible. It was then that I obtained Mr. Lombardo as my lawyer. Mr. Lombardo handled my case with great knowledge and professionalism. He was always responsive to my concerns and he was clearly well respected in the community, which gave him more leverage for negotiating. In the end, Mr. Lombardo was able to get the DA to drop the domestic violence charge against me. Nine months later, I received a letter from the Board of Registered Nursing which was threatening to take away my professional license due to said incident. I spoke to Mr. Lombardo about this and he showed great concern that I...
Have had the opportunity to engage Mr. Jay Temple through Mr Lombardo's firm and he has represented us extremely well and his results were beyond our expectations. He ALWAYS returns calls and emails, walked us through various scenarios, explained things in detail, followed up with finishing details, was extremely courteous and very friendly. Mr. Temple has restored my confidence in attorneys and I would gladly and with enthusiasm, recommend him and his firm to friends and relatives. In fact, I have already done so.
