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!

Excellent Experience!

I was fortunate to have Richard Bombardo for my attorney for a rather complicated case. He took the time to get all the details about what had happened along with making sure to go over them with me too; to be clear he had all the facts correct. His dedication is excellent. He was always sure to kee...p in touch with me throughout the process, I called him many times, too. He was always sure to return my phone calls and was more than happy to answer any of my questions. He understood how important this case was to me and took it of just as much importance to himself. He really helped to make the whole process so much better! Great Experience!

Completely disappointed with performance.

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.

This review is completely false. I cannot even recognize who this is because not a shred of it is true. I have been a Divorce and Family Law attorney for 27 years, and before that I was a former active duty U.S. Marine. Meek and timid is not part of my personality. I have never been silent on any case I have ever handled. I have also never failed to obtain evidence for a case. Whoever this is, is making up lies solely to damage my reputation. That is not something I will stand for. I treat all cases with the same professional attention and aggressiveness that the case requires. I also have never refused to argue issues on behalf of a client.

Avoid this Lawyer

I hired Richard Bombardo at a time when I was desperate for legal help to protect my niece and nephews. His work was slow and sloppy; to border on incompetent. He was very rude and actually screamed at me that I was "ungrateful for his help". I was lucky I realized so quickly what a detriment ...Mr. Bombardo was, and I hired a different attorney who has been great. But that lesson cost me a few thousand dollars with no benefit. Please save yourself the struggle and avoid this lawyer.

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."
