Mr. Lombardo is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable in his field, he always keeps you informed, 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 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.
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 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 attorneys 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.
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.
