Due to recent arrest and possible felony conviction, I needed professional, experienced legal counsel immediately. Not really knowing how to go about obtaining such, I noticed a web ad for Domenic Lombardo defense attorney, 19 years of success. I highly doubt that I could have made a better choice. He and his associate Jay Temple are very professional, confidential, knowledgeable and thorough defense attorneys. Their knowledge of the law and process to get the best outcome possible is truly incredible. At any time they were happy to answer any questions I had, which also helped deal with my anxiety. My case seemed fairly straightforward, and I didn’t have much hope. With Domenic and Jay on my side, I gradually became less anxious, and more hopeful. My case ended with a dismissal, these guys really know what they are doing! I can’t say enough about their professionalism and knowledge of the law, but if you are in a position where you need excellent legal defense counsel, you need Domenic and Jay on your side. On my final court day with Domenic, I couldn’t help but notice how well respected he was by the other counsel in the court. They know him, because he is a truly successful defense attorney. Thanks again guys!
Through his professionalism and compassion and high intellect, Mr. Lombardo has made a very unpleasant and stressful experience considerably more tolerable.

A professional and efficient attorney. Kept client well informed on legal procedures. Never once was I left in the dark about my case, I was notified on a regular basis, and was assured that he was doing his job. I highly recommend this attorney for his professionalism and experience.
I had never been in trouble with the law before or had experience with any other lawyers, but when my revengeful (then) husband decided to make a false accusation of domestic violence against me, I knew that this was serious and I needed the best representation possible. It was then that I obtained Mr. Lombardo as my lawyer. Mr. Lombardo handled my case with great knowledge and professionalism. He was always responsive to my concerns and he was clearly well respected in the community, which gave him more leverage for negotiating. In the end, Mr. Lombardo was able to get the DA to drop the domestic violence charge against me. Nine months later, I received a letter from the Board of Registered Nursing which was threatening to take away my professional license due to said incident. I spoke to Mr. Lombardo about this and he showed great concern that I not lose my professional license and he handled the issue with the Board that same day, no charge! How many lawyers would do that? That just goes to show Mr. Lombardo’s genuine concern for the well-being of his clients. He is truly a one of a kind lawyer, not only the best at what he does but also willing to go the extra mile for his clients. If you are looking for the best legal representation, Mr. Lombardo is the lawyer to get.
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.

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.
