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 it’s not going to a court case, which saved me a lot 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 knowledgeable lawyer you can get.
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 to develop their case. Domenic is familiar with the judges, D.A., courtroom departments and who these people are. He has developed personal-building relationships with these people and it was evident over the time of my trial. It took nearly a year for this case to go to trial. After numerous court appearances and the stress of having pending felony charges, it was time for trial. Domenic was more prepared for the case than the D.A. He knew far more facts surrounding the case. Prior to the trial Domenic had two different investigators issuing subpoenas to numerous persons involved in the case. He also had these investigators staying updated with any changes or developments regarding witnesses. The cost of the entire case was costly. However, it was worth every penny when that not guilty verdict on all charges was read.
Domenic presented the case in an articulate manner and dissected every police report in a way that the truth eventually surfaced in court. Domenic Lombardo is one of the best criminal lawyers in San Diego. He also has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this lawyer.
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.

This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. I highly recommend Domenic to anyone interested in finding the best criminal lawyer in San Diego!
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 deal with my anxiety. My case seemed fairly straightforward, 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 law, but if you are in a position where you need excellent legal defense counsel, you need Domenic and Jay on your side. On my final court day with Domenic, I couldn’t help but notice how well respected he was by the other counsel in the court. They know him, because he is a truly successful defense attorney. Thanks again guys!
