Highly Recommended

Mr. Bombardo is a dedicated father who can relate to the struggles and obstacles faced by any single parent who is trying to establish a formal custody agreement. He was always reachable by phone, with the understandable exception of weekends, and he treated me with the utmost level of respect and in...tegrity. I was happy with the outcome of my case, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for child custody. Should I need an attorney in the future to represent me in family court, I can say with confidence that I will hire Mr. Bombardo without hesitation.

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.

Saved my child's life

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

I really like and respect Richard Bombardo, he won my custody case and I will use him in the future.

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included... in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going. He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

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.

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."
