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.

The Best

Chris Lombardo handled my divorce case quickly and effectively, and he helped guide me through one of the most difficult times. He negotiated the way through all of the hurdles of divorce and completed our complicated case in just seven months. I highly recommend him.

Smart, Integral,

Chris Lombardo was my attorney through a very long and painful divorce and parenting issues. I truly cannot imagine going through such a difficult and painful time without him as my attorney. He not only was smart, integral, and incredibly thorough, but he was compassionate and able to help me laugh ...during a painful time. His knowledge of Florida family law and court experience is unsurpassed. I felt confident knowing that he was defending me. I would highly recommend Mr. Lombardo to anyone in need of an attorney.

Best lawyer in Naples

Chris was outstanding and helped me more than I could ever hope. I came to him after working with a terrible lawyer and he resolved a divorce which had gone on for years...in a few short months. And he did so with laughter and humor. He handled my stress and tears with grace and understanding and he ...made me feel my case mattered. I cannot thank him and his paralegal, Anita, enough. I would give him extra stars if I could.
