I was charged with a firearms misdemeanor in California back in February 2009 and I was clueless in finding an attorney to help me get out of this mess. I’m from Texas and happened 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 charge dropped to a lesser crime in order to keep my job and also got my 3 year 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 me retain my job and saved my career.
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 planning to do and what he had 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 researched thoroughly to get every possible means to cut my late husband’s sentencing. He said we may not even go to trial, and added if he had a crystal ball my late husband would get probation and mandatory treatment.
I recommend Domenic Lombardo and his office staff gets the highest recommendation. It’s no wonder he is considered one of San Diego’s finest criminal lawyers. He may be a little pricey but the money was well worth what for what you get. Thank you, Domenic Lombardo.
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!
Through his professionalism and compassion and high intellect, Mr. Lombardo has made a very unpleasant and stressful experience considerably more tolerable.

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.
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 meet 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 that things would work out and life would go on. It was a very scary time but Domenic pulled through and was able to have the DA drop case. The entire process unfolded just as he promised, and the plaintiff’s camp ended up looking disorganized and unprofessional in comparison to Mr. Lombardo. If you’re in a bind, please consider calling Domenic and sitting down with him. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
