I sincerely believe that Mr. Lombardo saved my son from true disaster and my family will be indebted to him for ever. Thanks to his efforts the outcome of the case was beyond our best expectations. On top of that he went beyond his professional obligations to educate and advise my son so that he could get back on the right track in life. I strongly recommend him if you have a loved one in trouble.
Mr. Lombardo is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable in his field, he always keeps you informed, and knows the system very well. I was looking at 3 years in prison and I did 30 days public work service, drug rehabilitation, and three years probation. After a little over a year of probation Mr. Lombardo was able to get my case expunged. I would highly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone needing a lawyer in his field. He is worth every penny.
I was arrested on multiple felony charges last year in San Diego, CA. My father lived in another state and found Domenic by luck to represent me. Domenic is highly respected in the courtroom and there to help. He was always available by phone, even on the weekends, no phone tag. Domenic is now handling the expungement of the felony charges that I was arrested for last year. Amazing!
I would seriously recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone in trouble, he is truly a good lawyer and person.
Thank you, Domenic, for all you have done and continue to do.
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.
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.

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.
