I Highly Recommend Allan Rombro!

I hired Allan in a DWI case, and from the first contact I felt comfortable and calm. Allan is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took time to answer all questions (and they were many) and he provided suggestions for how I could be proactive in my case. He was checking in throughout the long... process, providing information about the latest updates, and made sure that I as a client was feeling safe and secure. The outcome was perfect, a pbj and no points in my driver's license or in my records. Allan's professional approach and supportive attitude are amazing and I would highly recommend him as your lawyer!

Excellent Lawyer!!!

I was charged with a DUI last year, and Allan Rombro agreed to take my case. He was outstanding in every way possible during my case and in the court room. I received a Probation which ended up unrestricted, no points on my license, and not on my record. His experience in working with the judge for a... reasonable outcome was what resulted, and it was a tough judge. Place faith and trust in Allan Rombro! He does the best for his clients and I am so very greatful!!!

NOLLE PROSEQUI

Me and my family had been pulled over and searched 3 times in a one week period. All 3 times the cops claimed they pulled us over because we went over the line, which was a lie & all 3 times they said their dog detected heroin, methamphetamine or ecstacy & they found neither of those any of the times... we were pulled over. However, on the last stop after searching yet again for an hour, they were letting us go but then decided to search our person. When doing so, they found a suboxone in my wallet that I had forgot was there because it had been there for months. I'm a recovering heroin addict and there's a heroin epidemic going on so I kept the suboxone incase I ever got a craving, I knew I wouldn't be able to use. Well the officer told my girlfriend that I was getting arrested and that he really didn't want to arrest me for something that petty & it was a waste of paperwork but he would let me go if I cooperated. When we got to the station, he asked me who was doing burglaries and I told him I didn't know, I was on parole & don't hang around people that do that kind of stuff. Well the cop swore I was lying and locked me up. I bailed out & was scared to death because I was backing up 8 years plus 4 years for the suboxone. The cop even went as far as to call my probation officer and ream her out for not violating me before I was found guilty. Rombro took my case & I was thinking at the best I would get maybe 3 years.. he actually went in there and got my charges null prossed. I had planned to take it to a jury trial just to buy myself more time before going to prison but Rombro pointed out that it was an illegal stop & search & actually got the charges dropped. This man saved my life & did more than I thought any lawyer could do. I had put my life on hold, quit college & just knew I was going away for a few years. But now I have my life back and I can start my school work back up to better my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a real lawyer that will really look into and fight your case.

Dui , with hit and run

My Rombro was a fantastic lawyer. I had so many concerns with my dui case but the whole time we were waiting he kept in contact with me and my family letting us know what was going on and putting us at ease. The states attorney wanted jail time , I also had a hit and run. When she asked the judge for... jail time my heart sank, but with Mr.Rombro help I walked away with dmp classes. I couldn't believe it! Thank you so much for all your help and letting me stay home with my 2 year old son.

A dedicated, experienced and highly competent advocate!

Allan Rombro has my highest possible recommendation! I hired Allan to represent me on a criminal matter that resulted from my divorce lawyer's failure and missing a deadline related to an ex parte order connected to my divorce and custody case. It was a complicated mess and Allan cut through the red... tape that my own highly paid divorce lawyer could not manage to navigate. I was impressed by Allan's professionalism and accessiblity throughout the whole process. He answers his phone and even when I called him late on a weekend evening. He explained every step and clarified all of my options--which really helped given that I had never before had any dealings with the criminal justice system. After he obtained a full DISMISSAL, he followed up to make sure all was properly filed even items that were not part of our case. In sum, I recommend Allan--his is a great lawyer and a decent person who genuinely cares.
