On Your Side

We hired Dominick to provide legal advice and support during my son's probation period. Dominick responded to calls and texts quickly with sound, rational advice. Having him on speed dial gave my family comfort. There is no substitute for having a good lawyer to contact when dealing with law enforce...ment; we plan on keeping Dominick in our contacts and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommended!!

Dom and Pat came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. They are a team. Pat seems calm and unflappable and Dominick was the big personality guy. This approach worked for me. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. The support staff was friendly and professional. Everybody at the ...firm seemed to be working on my case and knew what was going on every time I had any questions. They made me feel like I was more than just a file and that they actually cared about me as a person. Great result, great guys. Thanks!

Best lawyer evef!

Dom and Pat are two of the finest men I've ever met. I received two duis and my life was a disaster. They showed me caring and compassion and genuinely seemed to care about me as a person. They managed to resolve my legal problems and helped me to get sober and get my life back on track. I will forev...er be grateful to these two guys. They are an awesome team and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer. Smart, funny and professional. When I was at a low point and couldn't imagine my life getting better,these guys were there for me.

Highly recommended

Dom helped me out when I had 3 cases in 3 counties. I was overwhelmed and very concerned. Dom won one case at trial and got the other 2 felonies reduced to misdemeanors. I am forever grateful to this man.

Great lawyer

I hired mr Dolci to represent me for a felony drug charge. He won my case by filing a motion to prove the cops didn't have probable cause to search my car. He made the cop look like a liar. It was great! The case was over in two months and I walked out a free man. We hadn't even payed our full fee t...o him. He offered to waive the balance of his money. I payed it anyway. This is the guy I want in my "favorites". Awesome dude. Also, he's funny as hell.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
