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 on vacation, but that did not stop him from giving 100% and he immediately began working on my case. He called me from a cell phone in Mexico, and I could hear the waves crashing against the sand. Even before I had officially hired Mr. Lombardo, he was already contacting the D.A.’s office on behalf of my case. Mr. Lombardo kept me informed every step of the way. He seemed to have genuine concern for me and my case, and if he sensed any discomfort from me he promptly made me feel at ease. When the day came to go to court, Mr. Lombardo quickly resolved my case with the judge and the D.A and managed to get me an incredible deal. I truly believe that if I would have had any other attorney, I would have gotten such a deal. To sum up my review of Mr. Domenic Lombardo, I simply say that if you hire any other attorney, you are making a mistake.
I hired Mr. Lombardo for my daughter, Jasmin, in March 2010. I was surprised when he offered to go and talk with Jasmin in jail before I even retained 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 the best defense attorney you can buy. He has my vote for conduct, knowledge and professionalism. Thank you, Domenic!

My starting point in defending any client accused of criminal conduct is for me to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case, for me to make a determination of whether or not the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt each and every element of the charged offense to a jury. You're not guilty unless you plead guilty or unless a jury concludes that you're guilty. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt - that means that there's no other explanation for the evidence except that which points to your guilt.
If at the close of a jury trial the state of the evidence is such that there are two interpretations of the evidence both of which are based in reason, one of which points to your guilt and the other of which points to your innocence, a jury is legally obligated to adopt the interpretation favoring innocence and reject the interpretation favoring a conviction.
