Mr. Lombardo has a 32 year track record as a successful San Diego criminal defense lawyer, over 26 of those years in his private law practice. He has demonstrated success for those facing criminal charges, a felony, or a misdemeanor in San Diego and throughout California. Examples of his case results include:

Case Dismissed
Released on Parole
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.
Domenic was more on top of things regarding my case then I had ever imagined. As this was my first time dealing with anything like this he made me feel extremely confident at the desired outcome. He was so confident and organized that it gave me the confidence I needed to take this thing on. My case was dismissed after Domenic destroyed the prosecution’s case. He had my case dismissed before we ever went to trial. His rates are low for such superior service. I would recommend him to anyone engaged with the legal system. Operates with 100% integrity.
This Attorney is “one of a kind“. Never in my lifetime have I come across an attorney so knowledgeable, efficient and responsive to his clients. It is unbelievable, the service he provides. As a paralegal, I have been around lots of attorneys. This one is just amazing!
I am so very grateful for the services he provided for me. Once again, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for your outstanding service.
Mr. Lombardo is the best. I was facing some very serious charges and was afraid of doing jail time. He was very caring and supportive. He guided me on what I had to do. Was very familiar with the laws. He got the felonies dropped and got probation instead of jail time. He is definitely the man you want on your side.
Domenic was superb. He has a winning attitude about him and carries himself with tremendous pride. It is evident that Domenic takes his practice and clients very seriously. When you meet Domenic, he has this warming sense about him, but in his eyes you can see that this is a man who doesn’t lose. When I was accused of a horrible crime I scoured the internet looking for someone to help me through this terrible time. I had never been in legal trouble before and didn’t know where I should turn nor who I could trust. I searched on sites like this one, called a few numbers, and interviewed a handful of criminal defense attorneys. Hands down Domenic was the best; there were no close seconds. Domenic dissected my case down to the bare essentials and kept me ease throughout the legal process, explaining every details and assuring me that things would work out and life would go on. It was a very scary time but Domenic pulled through and was able to have the DA drop case. The entire process unfolded just as he promised, and the plaintiff’s camp ended up looking disorganized and unprofessional in comparison to Mr. Lombardo. If you’re in a bind, please consider calling Domenic and sitting down with him. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

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.
