I’m an 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. Lombardo’s knowledge of the system (he’s a former Public Defender, I believe) and his thoroughness. I will not hesitate to recommend him to a friend or family member in the future, should the need arise.
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/worst 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 DMV, District Attorney and Prosecutor inside and outside the court room. His advice was not only beneficial to myself, but also made an impact to the Judge during my sentencing. The end result was 2 felonies dropped down to 1 misdemeanor, no jail time, less than 3 days of public service along with a 3 month court ordered program (versus 9 month program). If you’re considering retaining Domenic to defend you for your multiple DUI felony case, look no further! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with his services and that he will get you best possible outcome you deserve.
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. Lombardo 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 a lot 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 everything you have done for my case.
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.
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 been 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 upfront flat fee to resolve my case. He listened to my explanation and gave me an honest evaluation. But most of all, he pushed me to help myself. He continued to encourage me to do the most I could to get the best outcome. I was facing possible jail time, or extended probation, which would’ve meant losing my job, being away from my family, and who knows what else. Mr. Lombardo got me through with the best outcome I could hope for. He knew exactly how to handle it, he knew the judges and court officials involved, and he did a great job at keeping me going through the whole thing. I would highly recommend him.
