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.

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.

The Best In A Courtroom!

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which ac...tually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

Amazing family court lawyer !

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was ...going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

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."
