I could not be more pleased with the services of Domenic Lombardo. I retained Mr. Lombardo after hiring another very prominent attorney in the Los Angeles area. There was no comparison.

I have hired many lawyers in the past. It is rare to find an attorney that is honest with you, listens to what you want, and does what he says.

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.
Trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed. Mr. Lombardo was “Excellent” in all of the above. Very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend him. Told him “I hope I never have to call you again but… your number is in my phone”.
Through his professionalism and compassion and high intellect, Mr. Lombardo has made a very unpleasant and stressful experience considerably more tolerable. He consistently and vigorously advocates for his clients and possesses a fiery determination to defend persons like me who have been wrongly charged with a crime. 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.
I would never wish what I went through on anyone and nor would I ever want to go through it again. I believe all experiences good or bad have something to be taken away from them and in this case it changed my life for the better. If it was not for Domenic, I do not know where I would be today. Because of his unquestioned commitment and passion to see my case through, I would proudly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone. Thank you again, Domenic!

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.
