Bombardo Law Office, P.C.

This guy reminded me of «Get Saul ’ from Breaking Bad or the lawyer from Pelican brief that hid under his desk. I knew I should have ran as soon as I walked in. But for some stupid reason I signed with him to represent me in a custody case. It seems I paid a retainer for nothing. He was unprofessional and ineffective. I dismissed him. My new lawyer accomplished more in a few hours than he had done in months. I lost 6 months spent without seeing my children and the $XXXX was gone.
It wont use up yours or my time mimicking the Me M. review shown except to say YES I understand. He is positively unreachable, totally unprepared, chronically late. He does have his specialties, he excels at excuses while eluding and redirecting blame for his mistakes. Now that I think about it those movie lawyers actually accomplished something. Unfortunately this isn’t the movies.

Mr. Bombardo is a dedicated father who can relate to the struggles and obstacles faced by any single parent who is trying to establish a formal custody agreement. He was always reachable by phone, with the understandable exception of weekends, and he treated me with the utmost level of respect and integrity. I was happy with the outcome of my case, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for child custody. Should I need an attorney in the future to represent me in family court, I can say with confidence that I will hire Mr. Bombardo without hesitation.

I had always tried to work custody issues out with my ex without court. I had retained Richard and filed paperwork but was foolishly led to mediation by my ex against the advisement of Mr. Bombardo. A few months later it turned out to be a huge mistake and my daughter was in immense danger. I immediately called Richard and we filed new paperwork. He heard me in a world full of resentful exes how hard I tried. He fought for the safety and future of my daughter when it seemed like the judge and child’s lawyer couldn’t see through the lies from the other side. Richard’s persistence and dedication to protecting an innocent child is what saved my daughter from a lifetime of seeing drugs and all the devastation that came with it. Most of the time I called or texted I was met with an immediate response or returned within a day. We always talked the day or two before court so I knew what to expect and after court he would advise me on where we were going to go next. During the scariest time of my life I’m glad I had someone there to reasurre and regroup when curve balls were thrown. It was definitely because of Richard’s services that we won sole custody which seemed like an impossible effort. My daughter is now safe, well adjusted, and loving life and I owe my peace of mind to him.

The following reasons is why this attorney is only given a one star rating and if I could have rated it below that, I would have done so.
1. Only responded to our calls up until he got our money
2. Advised that we had certain rights and then retracted these statements
3. Many calls we had to place to this attorney, as the deadline approached for our court hearing, because he was not returning calls, until the night before the court hearing, which then he was rushing us through things and took away our ability to better prepare for this case.
4. During the hearing certain things were agreed upon in this hearing, but we never received any documentation from it. We placed several calls to this attorney and when he finally did call us back he stated that the document that he had received from the other party’s attorney was wrong and that he is having them resubmit it. We had to place many calls after this in attempt to gain insight as to what the status of this document was and still no response from this attorney a year later. I finally had to consult another attorney who advised us to call the court to see if there was any documents filed and which there was, the wrong one! Now we are left in a predicament because this attorney failed to do what he promised to do (take care of getting this document corrected).
5. Because of this attorneys lack of attentiveness to our case we are now left with a situation where we will not only have to invest more time to attempt to get this corrected (something he should have taken care of in the first place) but more money.
6. This attorney always had excuse after excuse for not returning our calls weeks, sometimes months and now years later, but when he did always had to rush off the phone.
It was unfortunate that we trusted in his word and only to discover that this man is less than honest.
My hopes by writing this review that is will prevent someone else experiencing that hardships that we did with him and that no one else will get taken advantage of by this attorney like we did
