I Urge You to Consider This Review From a Naples Local Since 1979

Christopher Lombardo is a good man and his reputation proceeds him as such. I have had the privilege of working with him on behalf of local charities in Naples, FL. I had already resolved that he was an intelligent, accomplished and caring individual. What surprised me when I needed legal help, was... that this man who serves throughout our community with the heart of a teddy bear, shows up in legal matters with the spirit and commanding presence of a lion! His confidence is infectious and reassuring while going through the process. Chris is a winning attorney who is respected as a lawyer throughout Naples for his excellent track record and great ability for communication. He had the fortitude to represent the facts and the law in such a way that even the opposing side could not help but to agree. He is clearly passionate about the law, standing up for what is right and for the use of common sense. It would be difficult to choose one word to describe Chris Lombardo to you, but the word FERVOR came to mind in recollecting the way he spoke with me and on my behalf: “Great warmth and earnestness of feeling; passion; zeal: to defend a cause with fervor”. You will find that both he AND his team at Woodward Pires and Lombardo are everything you would imagine and could ever expect in a law firm. I give him my highest praise and deepest gratitude. If you are familiar with the famous “Lion and Serpent” Sculpture by Antoine-Louis Barye, then you will understand what kind of attorney Christopher Lombardo is. If you are not familiar, I invite you to Google it so you can see the image I see, when I speak of Chris. I strongly recommend using his services.

Very dependable, dedicated and goes above and beyond for his clients.

Chris worked diligently for me throughout my divorce. I could not have asked for a better lawyer or law firm to represent me. He works tirelessly for his clients and always kept me informed of everything that he was working on for me. He is very knowledgeable and will fight for what is fair. As a per...son he is one of the kindest human beings you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. He made some of the most difficult times in my life bearable because he treated me with kindness and understanding and not like just someone who was a paycheck for him. He talks to you and listens to what you have to say. If you ever need a lawyer I definitely recommend Chris Lombardo. He is the absolute best.

Chris Lombardo is simply the best!

I wanted to articulate my experience with Christopher Lombardo who has literally been my savior thanks to his skill sets which are second to none. I first hired a female attorney who I believed would be able to relate to me as another woman and exude compassion and empathy with respect to my situati...on which was as bad as it gets. As I was going through the divorce, I discovered that she did not have the requisite financial skills to protect me financially. Her discovery was inadequate and hurt me significantly for my financial future. I was being harassed by my ex and my attorney advised me to do nothing about it. I made the decision to leave the first attorney because I felt that she was not adequately representing me. I then secured another female attorney with the primary charge of selling my home and ensuring that I be reimbursed for my legal fees as per a court stipulation. My ex refused to reimburse the legal fees. The second attorney was working on going back to court to get my legal fees and in the process, my ex filed a Motion for a Special Magistrate to sell the marital home. Her legal representation was so inferior that she ended up getting sued personally. She was incompetent and had a chip on her shoulder in regards to me. And to make matters worse, she made derogatory comments to me. In addition, the legal fees she charged me were excessive. I knew that I had to change course because nothing positive was being accomplished. So, I had a friend help me research other attorneys. Our selection made was Christopher Lombardo. I am pleased to say that Mr. Lombardo competently, and rigorously took on my matters with a sense of urgency. The marital house was finally sold after he was able to talk sense to my ex's attorney. Chris is as savvy as they come, has many years of experience and knows how to negotiate with other attorneys without running up huge bills. He has always treated me with the utmost of kindness and respect. Without his expertise, I know that I would still be trying to navigate a deal and would have been forced to frivolously spend another $40,000. Quite simply, he is the best attorney I have ever used. In addition his team members including Rebecca Wade and Scott Pauzer were extremely helpful and prompt when dealing with my issues. I would strongly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone who is dealing with divorce matters.

Capable - Reliable - Resolute

We found this law firm through family friends, as I needed representation in a high-conflict custody situation to advocate for my children. In the past, we had been held hostage through litigation with no representation. Mr. Lombardo's confidence is reassuring, and he is capable, and determined to ...do what is right for their well being. He and his staff are prepared and attentive. I'm ever-so-grateful our friends guided us to a great legal team that is tenacious in representing the best interests of my children.
