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.
I was charged with a firearms misdemeanor in California back in February 2009 and I was clueless in finding an attorney to help me get out of this mess. I’m from Texas and happened to come across some good reviews on Mr. Lombardo. We got in contact and I trusted him with taking care of me while in Texas and while deployed to Iraq. He got my charge dropped to a lesser crime in order to keep my job and also got my 3 year probation dropped in just a matter of a few months after I had contacted him. He was fast to get on my case and always kept me informed throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Mr. Lombardo as he helped me retain my job and saved my career.
A high level of professionalism and integrity. I highly recommend Mr. Lombardo’s office.
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 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.
