Dominic Tomaio should be your next lawyer
Dominic Tomaio has been a very precise, consistent and dependable lawyer while going through a horific divorce and domestic violence. He has also helped me understand my rights in the court system and dealing with the law. I have recommended him to a family member, and two other friends of mine knowing that he would do the very best to represent them as he has done for me. I would highly recommend him to get the job done, despite the issues.

Post Judgement Client
Dominic is not only an excellent and very knowledgeable lawyer but also a fair and outright nice human being. He has a straight forward approach, can argue very well in front of a judge and has a sense of realism of what is achievable. Dominik is wonderful to work with and very efficient. Unlike many other divorce lawyers, Dominic is not trying to ignite conflict to generate fees. I fully appreciated his help and would recommend him strongly to any of my friends. In my experience with divorce lawyers, he is a rare "find".

Great mediatior!
Dominic handled my mediation and made it a very simple process. We were able to resolve all of our issues within 4 or 5 sessions with a fair agreement. Dominic was very easy to talk to and kept the situation calm through all of our sessions and made us both aware of what we needed to give in on or give more of in order to get through the process as quickly as possible and it didn't cost us a lot of money. I would recommend Dominic Tomaio as a mediator to anyone looking for a fair resolutions of their issues.
