Dad That Got Primary Custody

I had a very unique divorce case. My ex wife filed for ONLY custody/child support. I ultimately filed for divorce myself. With my ex wife filing the way she did, caused me to see three different judges to hear each separate case. Richard handled ALL 3. We won ALL 3 cases. I also reside outside of New... York, which made things difficult at times, but Richard got the job done! Night or day time, this Lawyer will fight for you. If you NEED an AGGRESSIVE attorney, Richard is your man. I have primary custody of my son!!!!!

Richard Bombardo went above and beyond all expectations! I am a father who lives out of state and wanted to file for primary physical custody of my son. Richard gave me an honest consultation that it would be an uphill battle winning primary physical custody, given all the odds stacked against me. No...t only did Richard help me WIN primary physical custody… I also got everything else I wanted in the custody agreement for my child. Richard is knowledgeable, thorough, and transparent. He was aggressive in court and passionately advocated for me. Richard answered all my questions in a timely matter and was available day and night to accommodate my availability. I absolutely recommend Richard Bombardo to anyone needing an attorney who is actually going to fight for you.

Professional and Flexible

I retained Richard over 3 years ago for a divorce with kids. I am in the millitary so court was complicated between moving, millitary deployments and constant chages with a difficult ex. Richard was patient and flexible in this difficult time. He drafted serveral separation agreements and was an ab...solute force in court. I would definitely recommend him. He has decades of experience and knows what he is doing

Super Hero!!!!

Mr. Bombardo is nothing short of a superhero. My case was in a extremely difficult place when I came to him. Without going into full detail, the situation was dire and my rights as father were being viciously attacked. Furthermore I was victim to my previous attorney selling me down the river to the ...opposing side for about 2 years. Mr. Bombardo not only turned this case around on its heels, he saved my children. He immediately changed the narrative and checked the opposing side. From his first appearance on my behalf my case changed. He was a true advocate for myself and my children. Mr. Bombardo truly cares about his clients, treats his job with the upmost professionalism and is highly ETHICAL (which is difficult to find these days). The end result of my case was nothing short of amazing given the circumstances prior to hiring him. If you are considering hiring Mr. Bombardo, please look no further, you will not find a better attorney.

Determined & Compassionate

Mr. Bombardo helped me through my divorce. He went above and beyond and really squeezed the retainer, as the divorce was supposed to be uncontested and turned more time consuming than expected. Divorce is ugly and even in the lows, he was always kind to me with every question asked and my low/frustra...ted moments… to have his support meant a lot. And at the end of the day, a lot of outcomes rely on the judge, and I am glad to have Richard on my side as I got the best settlement. And ultimately, my freedom, thank you Richard for all your patience, tenacity, fight, and humor.

Family lawyer | Dec 22

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"He is extremely professional and takes pride in his representation and presentation to the court and counsel. He vehemently advocates for his clients yet is always agreeable and open to reasonable settlements to avoid the unknowns of trial. He always keeps his Client’s goals as a priority. He sometimes gets a little loud in court but that just reflects his passion in advocating for his clients. It is never personal which makes working with him enjoyable in an area of law that is extremely toxic. Client’s that wrote negative reviews most likely did not understand the process or went against what was recommended to them. He is a lawyer I would want on my side if I needed on for a divorce or family law matter."
