I endorse this lawyer. I have met Mr. Dominick here on Avvo.com, and look forward to referring him work in the future since I do not practice in San Bernardino and Riverside County, and I am impressed with his practice. I spend a good deal of time on Avvo answering questions, offering comments et al. Mr. Dominick gained my attention by is excellent analysis/opinions/input on numerous legal issues that we were both commenting on. I checked out his website and am also quite impressed by his practice ane experience. If you are considering an attorney for probate/trust/estate planning in those counties - I recommend that you consider Mr. Dominick - as I will for my clients with matters in those counties.

I've known Tom since 2004. He has one of the best reputations in the Inland Empire. I've used him as an attorney in the past, I've had cases we've worked on together, and I've had cases were we were against each other. In all these interactions Tom was always a gentlemen. It is easy for me to highly recommend Tom as an attorney in the Probate, Trust, Estate Planning, and Real Estate areas.
