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.
Two years ago we were living on the other side of the country and got “that” phone call that our 21 year old daughter was in trouble. After asking a few folks we trusted Attorney Lombardo was recommended to us. I thank God every day he was put in our path. This man is the man you want standing up for you when your world is about to fall apart. We are just finalizing this journey and if not for Mr. Lombardo our daughter would not be getting the second chance she is. Tomorrow this nightmare ends and it is thanks to Domenic Lombardo’s hard work, diligence and yes belief in our daughter that things have turned out the way they have. I can’t say enough to let you know your money is well spent when you hire attorney Lombardo. To the negative poster, all I can say is something is missing in your post. That is not the man we know and have come to admire so very much. Thank you Attorney Lombardo, you are one of the good guys. The world is a better place for people like you. We will never forget you and your number is firmly in the keeper file.
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.
Through his professionalism and compassion and high intellect, Mr. Lombardo has made a very unpleasant and stressful experience considerably more tolerable.

My starting point in defending any client accused of criminal conduct is for me to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case, for me to make a determination of whether or not the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt each and every element of the charged offense to a jury. You're not guilty unless you plead guilty or unless a jury concludes that you're guilty. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt - that means that there's no other explanation for the evidence except that which points to your guilt.
If at the close of a jury trial the state of the evidence is such that there are two interpretations of the evidence both of which are based in reason, one of which points to your guilt and the other of which points to your innocence, a jury is legally obligated to adopt the interpretation favoring innocence and reject the interpretation favoring a conviction.
