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.
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.
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!
