exceptional results

I hired Mr. Bombardo to take care of some legal issues and he was courteous and prompt and provided me with excellent results. If I run into any other legal issues I'll be sure to use him because he was fair in calculating his fees and was honest and up front as to what they were going to be.

Mr, Bombardo

Mr. Bombardo was very thorough in my divorce proceedings. I could always reach him by phone. If not, Mr. Bombardo would promptly return my call. He worked hard to ensure all my questions were answered. His demeanor was courteous and respectful. I would definitely recommend Mr. Richard Bombardo ...to future clients.

Great Experience

Richard Bombardo was an excellent choice for a lawyer. I had seen and talked to many other lawyers in the area and none of them came close to his experience and knowledge of divorces/child custody. My case was complicated, but he was firm and dedicated to getting what I wanted. In the initial consult...ation, he did not waste time. He immediately wanted facts and wanted to get to work on the case. He was respectful and firm to my insulting and cruel ex, which in turn led my ex to give me what I wanted (full custody). I couldn't thank Richard enough for his hard work and dedication to my case. Thanks to him I now have full custody of my child. I would recommend him to anyone going through the tough time of a complicated divorce. He will be completely honest. He will get the job done.

BEST attorney ever!

I feel indebted to Richard for far more than he charged for his services. Feel free to read that first sentence several times; as it is rare to enjoy a great value for your hard earned cash today. My only regret is not finding Richard much earlier. Richard took the time to give an overview of his ...strategy, kept me informed; and explained his next steps in detail, answering my questions, listening to my feedback, and engaging me as a partner in the process to reach a satisfying goal. Richard was always professional, genuine, easily accessible, and responsive to the point of exceeding my expectations. He followed through to our goal even when faced with some daunting challenges. This area of expertise involves clients who are under considerable stress; and these situations are always of a lose-lose nature for the dueling parties, as concessions are to be expected. One might surmise that a few client responses, detailing a possible negative experience, were the result of not being properly engaged in their own endeavors, or perhaps not gaining an understanding of the complicated judicial system. Although it is always better to reach an agreement outside of court, it is sometimes necessary to go before a judge and let a stranger determine your future in regards to the issue at hand. Either way, I recommend Richard Bombardo to get the job done while keeping his client’s best interest a priority.

A Strong and Profesional Attorney

Last year I went through a difficult Divorce to which my X wife tried everything in her powers to unjustifiably press legal charges against me for made up events. My Attorney Richard Bombardo did an amazing job preventing any of these false charges to be recognized and help the Judge recognize my wif...e’s erratic behavior, to which the judge provided a stern warning to my X preventing further instances. Going through a Divorce was the hardest life event I have ever encountered and I was very pleased with the legal services Richard provided. Richard’s experience as a seasoned Divorce attorney was evident in my Divorce and I have already recommended Richard to a few friends that are going through similar situations. As an Attorney Richard Bombardo is experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate and will work hard for you in whatever situation you may be going through. In regards to cost, I've compared my legal fees vs my friends that used other Attorney's and my overall cost was far less. Richard never "Nickeled or Dime" me over quick conversations!

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."
