Richard J. Bombardo

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.

I had always tried to work custody issues out with my ex without court. I had retained Richard and filed paperwork but was foolishly led to mediation by my ex against the advisement of Mr. Bombardo. A few months later it turned out to be a huge mistake and my daughter was in immense danger. I immedia...tely called Richard and we filed new paperwork. He heard me in a world full of resentful exes how hard I tried. He fought for the safety and future of my daughter when it seemed like the judge and child's lawyer couldn't see through the lies from the other side. Richard's persistence and dedication to protecting an innocent child is what saved my daughter from a lifetime of seeing drugs and all the devastation that came with it. Most of the time I called or texted I was met with an immediate response if not it was returned within a day. We always talked the day or two before court so I knew what to expect and after court he would advise me on where we were going to go next. During the scariest time of my life I'm glad I had someone there to reasurre and regroup when curve balls were thrown. It was definitely because of Richard's services that we won sole custody which seemed like an impossible effort. My daughter is now safe, well adjusted , and loving life and I owe my peace of mind to him

My case was unusually complex and required the evidence to be requested from several states. Which he failed to obtain after constant assurances on his part that it was “taken care of”. My location is across the country which required a bit of travel so all my interactions were via phone. After e...xplaining to me he didn’t get any other the evidence to properly handle the case, he explained he wasn’t going to litigate any of the litany of issues with my child’s mother. He got paid $3,500 to sit and be stone silent through out any of the court proceedings, unless directed to answer by the judge. When I left that court I was thoroughly disgusted. And...like the other one star review, I was often told as well of his being on a vacation. Unless you’re a New York resident I would stay out of this particular mans employment.

Richard seem very lazy and incompetent. He can't even spell words right on documents and never returns calls. He always says that he was on vacation or had a big court hearing. After my case was half over, he just ran off with my money. He will take advantage of you. I'm surprised this guy didn't los...e his law license??? When you get paid to do a job and just walk off, it's stealing.
