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 if not it was 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

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going. He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which actually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

Richard was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful with my case. At no point did I feel like I had to search for answers as Richard updated me every step of the way throughout my trial. Most often he would call me back within the hour, and there was not ever a time I did not get a call back within 24 hours through our several month interaction. I had the experience with a different attorney a few years ago, and the difference was night and day. Many attorneys take on too many cases that they cannot handle, and it is clear that Richard does not operate that way. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Richard, and feel fortunate to have found someone who is so passionate about his work, and truly cared about my case. I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hardly enough words of praise that can be offered to Rich Bombardo for what he has done for us. Last year, I filed a custody violation/modification petition in St. Lawrence County. Several lawyers I consulted either flat out turned my case down, or told me that my petition was a waste of time due to the fact that I lived out of state. Despite the many hurdles and intricacies of the case, the outcome met and exceeded our expectations. We are convinced there is no other attorney that could have gotten us such an impressive result. He will tell you when you first talk to him about the fact that he picked Georgetown over Albany for his Juris Doctoris because he wanted to learn from true litigators: individuals that practice law in the courtroom, not just on paper. Whatever those Georgetown Law professors taught him they should be very proud. His skills as an experienced litigator gets the job done. St. Lawrence County Family Court is a tight-knit community and a somewhat hostile environment for an outsider. He walked into the judge’s chamber and came out with a better than expected outcome despite those hurdles. Logic tells me it was something he said or did behind those closed doors that got that result! Rich is a realistic optimist in his legal strategy. His extensive experience in several counties allows him to quickly determine what is possible and what is probable. He will never lie or advise you to waste your time on the highly improbable or unlikely. On the whole, he works prudently but aggressively to maximize your outcome. In the background, he is also constantly looking for ways to improve that outcome. Often times when you talk to him, he’ll think of that one more thing that could be done. Rich is very aware of the fact that Family Law is messy and therefore expensive when it comes to going to court. He charges what you’d expect a lawyer would charge. But he makes sure that you get maximum return from your retainer. He doesn’t give you piddly charges here and there that add up to thousands. He estimates how much it will cost, charges accordingly and works like hell to stay within that estimate. Finally and most importantly, his passion and confidence is contagious both in and out of the court room. Even if your situation is bleak or uncertain, he makes you feel like everything is going to be okay regardless of the outcome. And he makes it clear that he is your advocate and he will be with you every step of the way. In my case, he allowed me to close the book on a very painful chapter of my life so I could move on. When I first got divorced, I agreed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and took really bad advice from local attorneys. The original custody arrangement allowed my ex-wife power over my children that affected me, my professional life and my relationships. Rich got us more visitation time with my children and closed loop holes my ex-wife could manipulate. There are now real consequences for my ex-wife’s poor behavior. I have a closer relationship with my youngest son because we get to spend more time together. And some the content of the order requires measures that will maybe someday lead to reconnecting with my oldest son who has alienated me because of my ex-wife’s treatment. All of this would not be possible without Rich. He gave me back a part of my life. I just can’t say enough about Rich. He’s a good lawyer and a good person in general. He was my attorney in that custody matter and I continue to work with him today. He fights like hell for his clients. He fights for Parent’s Rights with no persuasion towards Father or Mother. He’s just a damn good attorney who loves his job. I would be more than glad to personally talk to anyone considering Rich as their attorney.

Mr. Bombardo did everything in his will power to make sure I was divorced and happy. He always had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond any situations that may have created any challenges for my case. He is thorough, professional and patient. Mr. Bombardo always made himself available to answer all of my questions, and trust me I had plenty.

You couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Richard Bombardo. He handled a very difficult matter for me in a very calm and deliberate matter. When I worried about details he reminded me that it was his responsibility to take care of the details, and he did so. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned phone calls. He was well prepared and won my case for me. His professional manner was very reassuring and he is clearly competent. In addition, he was honest and very clear about all of the possible outcomes. He promised to do his best for me but did not guarantee any outcomes. I highly recommend Mr. Bombardo to anyone who is in need of a Family Law attorney.

Richard made my divorce process seem effortless on my part. He was very prompt in returning any calls/texts I made to him (always responded within a day or two. Talked to me like I was his only client, though I knew he was quite busy! Very respectful attorney!!

He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

Richard was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful with my case. At no point did I feel like I had to search for answers as Richard updated me every step of the way throughout my trial. Most often he would call me back within the hour, and there was not ever a time I did not get a call back within 24 hours through our several month interaction. I had the experience with a different attorney a few years ago, and the difference was night and day. Many attorneys take on too many cases that they cannot handle, and it is clear that Richard does not operate that way. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Richard, and feel fortunate to have found someone who is so passionate about his work, and truly cared about my case. I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hardly enough words of praise that can be offered to Rich Bombardo for what he has done for us. Last year, I filed a custody violation/modification petition in St. Lawrence County. Several lawyers I consulted either flat out turned my case down, or told me that my petition was a waste of time due to the fact that I lived out of state. Despite the many hurdles and intricacies of the case, the outcome met and exceeded our expectations. We are convinced there is no other attorney that could have gotten us such an impressive result. He will tell you when you first talk to him about the fact that he picked Georgetown over Albany for his Juris Doctoris because he wanted to learn from true litigators: individuals that practice law in the courtroom, not just on paper. Whatever those Georgetown Law professors taught him they should be very proud. His skills as an experienced litigator gets the job done. St. Lawrence County Family Court is a tight-knit community and a somewhat hostile environment for an outsider. He walked into the judge’s chamber and came out with a better than expected outcome despite those hurdles. Logic tells me it was something he said or did behind those closed doors that got that result! Rich is a realistic optimist in his legal strategy. His extensive experience in several counties allows him to quickly determine what is possible and what is probable. He will never lie or advise you to waste your time on the highly improbable or unlikely. On the whole, he works prudently but aggressively to maximize your outcome. In the background, he is also constantly looking for ways to improve that outcome. Often times when you talk to him, he’ll think of that one more thing that could be done. Rich is very aware of the fact that Family Law is messy and therefore expensive when it comes to going to court. He charges what you’d expect a lawyer would charge. But he makes sure that you get maximum return from your retainer. He doesn’t give you piddly charges here and there that add up to thousands. He estimates how much it will cost, charges accordingly and works like hell to stay within that estimate. Finally and most importantly, his passion and confidence is contagious both in and out of the court room. Even if your situation is bleak or uncertain, he makes you feel like everything is going to be okay regardless of the outcome. And he makes it clear that he is your advocate and he will be with you every step of the way. In my case, he allowed me to close the book on a very painful chapter of my life so I could move on. When I first got divorced, I agreed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and took really bad advice from local attorneys. The original custody arrangement allowed my ex-wife power over my children that affected me, my professional life and my relationships. Rich got us more visitation time with my children and closed loop holes my ex-wife could manipulate. There are now real consequences for my ex-wife’s poor behavior. I have a closer relationship with my youngest son because we get to spend more time together. And some the content of the order requires measures that will maybe someday lead to reconnecting with my oldest son who has alienated me because of my ex-wife’s treatment. All of this would not be possible without Rich. He gave me back a part of my life. I just can’t say enough about Rich. He’s a good lawyer and a good person in general. He was my attorney in that custody matter and I continue to work with him today. He fights like hell for his clients. He fights for Parent’s Rights with no persuasion towards Father or Mother. He’s just a damn good attorney who loves his job. I would be more than glad to personally talk to anyone considering Rich as their attorney.

Mr. Bombardo did everything in his will power to make sure I was divorced and happy. He always had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond any situations that may have created any challenges for my case. He is thorough, professional and patient. Mr. Bombardo always made himself available to answer all of my questions, and trust me I had plenty.

You couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Richard Bombardo. He handled a very difficult matter for me in a very calm and deliberate matter. When I worried about details he reminded me that it was his responsibility to take care of the details, and he did so. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned phone calls. He was well prepared and won my case for me. His professional manner was very reassuring and he is clearly competent. In addition, he was honest and very clear about all of the possible outcomes. He promised to do his best for me but did not guarantee any outcomes. I highly recommend Mr. Bombardo to anyone who is in need of a Family Law attorney.

Richard made my divorce process seem effortless on my part. He was very prompt in returning any calls/texts I made to him (always responded within a day or two. Talked to me like I was his only client, though I knew he was quite busy! Very respectful attorney!!

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 if not it was 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

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going. He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which actually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender.

He will tell you when you first talk to him about the fact that he picked Georgetown over Albany for his Juris Doctoris because he wanted to learn from true litigators: individuals that practice law in the courtroom, not just on paper. Whatever those Georgetown Law professors taught him they should be very proud. His skills as an experienced litigator gets the job done. St. Lawrence County Family Court is a tight-knit community and a somewhat hostile environment for an outsider. He walked into the judge’s chamber and came out with a better than expected outcome despite those hurdles. Logic tells me it was something he said or did behind those closed doors that got that result! Rich is a realistic optimist in his legal strategy. His extensive experience in several counties allows him to quickly determine what is possible and what is probable. He will never lie or advise you to waste your time on the highly improbable or unlikely. On the whole, he works prudently but aggressively to maximize your outcome. In the background, he is also constantly looking for ways to improve that outcome. Often times when you talk to him, he’ll think of that one more thing that could be done. Rich is very aware of the fact that Family Law is messy and therefore expensive when it comes to going to court. He charges what you’d expect a lawyer would charge. But he makes sure that you get maximum return from your retainer. He doesn’t give you piddly charges here and there that add up to thousands. He estimates how much it will cost, charges accordingly and works like hell to stay within that estimate. Finally and most importantly, his passion and confidence is contagious both in and out of the court room. Even if your situation is bleak or uncertain, he makes you feel like everything is going to be okay regardless of the outcome. And he makes it clear that he is your advocate and he will be with you every step of the way. In my case, he allowed me to close the book on a very painful chapter of my life so I could move on. When I first got divorced, I agreed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and took really bad advice from local attorneys. The original custody arrangement allowed my ex-wife power over my children that affected me, my professional life and my relationships. Rich got us more visitation time with my children and closed loop holes my ex-wife could manipulate. There are now real consequences for my ex-wife’s poor behavior. I have a closer relationship with my youngest son because we get to spend more time together. And some the content of the order requires measures that will maybe someday lead to reconnecting with my oldest son who has alienated me because of my ex-wife’s treatment. All of this would not be possible without Rich. He gave me back a part of my life. I just can’t say enough about Rich. He’s a good lawyer and a good person in general. He was my attorney in that custody matter and I continue to work with him today. He fights like hell for his clients. He fights for Parent’s Rights with no persuasion towards Father or Mother. He’s just a damn good attorney who loves his job. I would be more than glad to personally talk to anyone considering Rich as their attorney.

Mr. Bombardo did everything in his will power to make sure I was divorced and happy. He always had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond any situations that may have created any challenges for my case. He is thorough, professional and patient. Mr. Bombardo always made himself available to answer all of my questions, and trust me I had plenty.

You couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Richard Bombardo. He handled a very difficult matter for me in a very calm and deliberate matter. When I worried about details he reminded me that it was his responsibility to take care of the details, and he did so. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned phone calls. He was well prepared and won my case for me. His professional manner was very reassuring and he is clearly competent. In addition, he was honest and very clear about all of the possible outcomes. He promised to do his best for me but did not guarantee any outcomes. I highly recommend Mr. Bombardo to anyone who is in need of a Family Law attorney.

Richard made my divorce process seem effortless on my part. He was very prompt in returning any calls/texts I made to him (always responded within a day or two. Talked to me like I was his only client, though I knew he was quite busy! Very respectful attorney!!

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 if not it was 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

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going. He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which actually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

Richard was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful with my case. At no point did I feel like I had to search for answers as Richard updated me every step of the way throughout my trial. Most often he would call me back within the hour, and there was not ever a time I did not get a call back within 24 hours through our several month interaction. I had the experience with a different attorney a few years ago, and the difference was night and day. Many attorneys take on too many cases that they cannot handle, and it is clear that Richard does not operate that way. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Richard, and feel fortunate to have found someone who is so passionate about his work, and truly cared about my case. I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hardly enough words of praise that can be offered to Rich Bombardo for what he has done for us. Last year, I filed a custody violation/modification petition in St. Lawrence County. Several lawyers I consulted either flat out turned my case down, or told me that my petition was a waste of time due to the fact that I lived out of state. Despite the many hurdles and intricacies of the case, the outcome met and exceeded our expectations. We are convinced there is no other attorney that could have gotten us such an impressive result.

Mr. Bombardo did everything in his will power to make sure I was divorced and happy. He always had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond any situations that may have created any challenges for my case. He is thorough, professional and patient. Mr. Bombardo always made himself available to answer all of my questions, and trust me I had plenty.

You couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Richard Bombardo. He handled a very difficult matter for me in a very calm and deliberate matter. When I worried about details he reminded me that it was his responsibility to take care of the details, and he did so. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned phone calls. He was well prepared and won my case for me. His professional manner was very reassuring and he is clearly competent. In addition, he was honest and very clear about all of the possible outcomes. He promised to do his best for me but did not guarantee any outcomes. I highly recommend Mr. Bombardo to anyone who is in need of a Family Law attorney.

Richard made my divorce process seem effortless on my part. He was very prompt in returning any calls/texts I made to him (always responded within a day or two. Talked to me like I was his only client, though I knew he was quite busy! Very respectful attorney!!

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 if not it was 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

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going. He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which actually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

Richard was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful with my case. At no point did I feel like I had to search for answers as Richard updated me every step of the way throughout my trial. Most often he would call me back within the hour, and there was not ever a time I did not get a call back within 24 hours through our several month interaction. I had the experience with a different attorney a few years ago, and the difference was night and day. Many attorneys take on too many cases that they cannot handle, and it is clear that Richard does not operate that way. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Richard, and feel fortunate to have found someone who is so passionate about his work, and truly cared about my case. I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hardly enough words of praise that can be offered to Rich Bombardo for what he has done for us. Last year, I filed a custody violation/modification petition in St. Lawrence County. Several lawyers I consulted either flat out turned my case down, or told me that my petition was a waste of time due to the fact that I lived out of state. Despite the many hurdles and intricacies of the case, the outcome met and exceeded our expectations. We are convinced there is no other attorney that could have gotten us such an impressive result. He will tell you when you first talk to him about the fact that he picked Georgetown over Albany for his Juris Doctoris because he wanted to learn from true litigators: individuals that practice law in the courtroom, not just on paper. Whatever those Georgetown Law professors taught him they should be very proud. His skills as an experienced litigator gets the job done. St. Lawrence County Family Court is a tight-knit community and a somewhat hostile environment for an outsider. He walked into the judge’s chamber and came out with a better than expected outcome despite those hurdles. Logic tells me it was something he said or did behind those closed doors that got that result! Rich is a realistic optimist in his legal strategy. His extensive experience in several counties allows him to quickly determine what is possible and what is probable. He will never lie or advise you to waste your time on the highly improbable or unlikely. On the whole, he works prudently but aggressively to maximize your outcome. In the background, he is also constantly looking for ways to improve that outcome. Often times when you talk to him, he’ll think of that one more thing that could be done. Rich is very aware of the fact that Family Law is messy and therefore expensive when it comes to going to court. He charges what you’d expect a lawyer would charge. But he makes sure that you get maximum return from your retainer. He doesn’t give you piddly charges here and there that add up to thousands. He estimates how much it will cost, charges accordingly and works like hell to stay within that estimate. Finally and most importantly, his passion and confidence is contagious both in and out of the court room. Even if your situation is bleak or uncertain, he makes you feel like everything is going to be okay regardless of the outcome. And he makes it clear that he is your advocate and he will be with you every step of the way. In my case, he allowed me to close the book on a very painful chapter of my life so I could move on. When I first got divorced, I agreed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and took really bad advice from local attorneys. The original custody arrangement allowed my ex-wife power over my children that affected me, my professional life and my relationships. Rich got us more visitation time with my children and closed loop holes my ex-wife could manipulate. There are now real consequences for my ex-wife’s poor behavior. I have a closer relationship with my youngest son because we get to spend more time together. And some the content of the order requires measures that will maybe someday lead to reconnecting with my oldest son who has alienated me because of my ex-wife’s treatment. All of this would not be possible without Rich. He gave me back a part of my life. I just can’t say enough about Rich. He’s a good lawyer and a good person in general. He was my attorney in that custody matter and I continue to work with him today. He fights like hell for his clients. He fights for Parent’s Rights with no persuasion towards Father or Mother. He’s just a damn good attorney who loves his job. I would be more than glad to personally talk to anyone considering Rich as their attorney.

He is an incredibly straight forward and honest attorney and if you are honest and straight forward yourself about your case he is the perfect fit for you.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo has been handling my cases for the past 7 years. First a custody case, then a second custody case, and then a divorce case... all with the same woman. Knowing him for years, we developed a close relationship, which is not what you expect from an attorney. He made it personal, which actually made him more committed to the case. He wanted to win it for me. He's even taken on cases for me for discounts and one he did pro bono simply because he felt my pain of this woman dragging me back to court trying to drain my pockets while she received a public defender. He's one of the best court room attorneys. Some attorneys are good at paperwork and always want to settle, even if it's not in your best interest just to avoid losing a case. No. Mr. Bombardo can talk the talk and walk the walk. I've never lost once the case got close to trial and the other party always ended up settling. He's bluntfully honest. He will tell you right off the top whether your case is strong or weak. He will tell you what is the right option for you. But if your case ever goes to trial, he's the attorney you want. A lot of attorneys don't do well at trial, but this is where Mr. Bombardo shines in my opinion. So if you are in a trial where the other party is vindictive and refuses to settle, please go with Mr. Bombardo. He will guide you through and he really cares. As long as you're honest with him, he will defend you to the best of his ability.

I had a pretty complicated case, and it was the first time I have ever had to go through a custody battle, but Richard was extremely helpful and reassuring though the whole process. He was always easy to get ahold of and if he was going to be tied up in trials he made sure to let me know that he was going to be busy and would contact me as soon as he could. He walked me through the whole process evey step of the way. I was in diffrent state and worked around the distance. He continued to help me through the child support process after the custody trial. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a family court lawyer! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I!

Richard was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful with my case. At no point did I feel like I had to search for answers as Richard updated me every step of the way throughout my trial. Most often he would call me back within the hour, and there was not ever a time I did not get a call back within 24 hours through our several month interaction. I had the experience with a different attorney a few years ago, and the difference was night and day. Many attorneys take on too many cases that they cannot handle, and it is clear that Richard does not operate that way. I interviewed several attorneys before selecting Richard, and feel fortunate to have found someone who is so passionate about his work, and truly cared about my case. I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hardly enough words of praise that can be offered to Rich Bombardo for what he has done for us. Last year, I filed a custody violation/modification petition in St. Lawrence County. Several lawyers I consulted either flat out turned my case down, or told me that my petition was a waste of time due to the fact that I lived out of state. Despite the many hurdles and intricacies of the case, the outcome met and exceeded our expectations. We are convinced there is no other attorney that could have gotten us such an impressive result. He will tell you when you first talk to him about the fact that he picked Georgetown over Albany for his Juris Doctoris because he wanted to learn from true litigators: individuals that practice law in the courtroom, not just on paper. Whatever those Georgetown Law professors taught him they should be very proud. His skills as an experienced litigator gets the job done. St. Lawrence County Family Court is a tight-knit community and a somewhat hostile environment for an outsider. He walked into the judge’s chamber and came out with a better than expected outcome despite those hurdles. Logic tells me it was something he said or did behind those closed doors that got that result! Rich is a realistic optimist in his legal strategy. His extensive experience in several counties allows him to quickly determine what is possible and what is probable. He will never lie or advise you to waste your time on the highly improbable or unlikely. On the whole, he works prudently but aggressively to maximize your outcome. In the background, he is also constantly looking for ways to improve that outcome. Often times when you talk to him, he’ll think of that one more thing that could be done. Rich is very aware of the fact that Family Law is messy and therefore expensive when it comes to going to court. He charges what you’d expect a lawyer would charge. But he makes sure that you get maximum return from your retainer. He doesn’t give you piddly charges here and there that add up to thousands. He estimates how much it will cost, charges accordingly and works like hell to stay within that estimate. Finally and most importantly, his passion and confidence is contagious both in and out of the court room. Even if your situation is bleak or uncertain, he makes you feel like everything is going to be okay regardless of the outcome. And he makes it clear that he is your advocate and he will be with you every step of the way. In my case, he allowed me to close the book on a very painful chapter of my life so I could move on. When I first got divorced, I agreed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and took really bad advice from local attorneys. The original custody arrangement allowed my ex-wife power over my children that affected me, my professional life and my relationships. Rich got us more visitation time with my children and closed loop holes my ex-wife could manipulate. There are now real consequences for my ex-wife’s poor behavior. I have a closer relationship with my youngest son because we get to spend more time together. And some the content of the order requires measures that will maybe someday lead to reconnecting with my oldest son who has alienated me because of my ex-wife’s treatment. All of this would not be possible without Rich. He gave me back a part of my life. I just can’t say enough about Rich. He’s a good lawyer and a good person in general. He was my attorney in that custody matter and I continue to work with him today. He fights like hell for his clients. He fights for Parent’s Rights with no persuasion towards Father or Mother. He’s just a damn good attorney who loves his job. I would be more than glad to personally talk to anyone considering Rich as their attorney.

Mr. Bombardo did everything in his will power to make sure I was divorced and happy. He always had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond any situations that may have created any challenges for my case. He is thorough, professional and patient. Mr. Bombardo always made himself available to answer all of my questions, and trust me I had plenty.

You couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Richard Bombardo. He handled a very difficult matter for me in a very calm and deliberate matter. When I worried about details he reminded me that it was his responsibility to take care of the details, and he did so. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned phone calls. He was well prepared and won my case for me. His professional manner was very reassuring and he is clearly competent. In addition, he was honest and very clear about all of the possible outcomes. He promised to do his best for me but did not guarantee any outcomes. I highly recommend Mr. Bombardo to anyone who is in need of a Family Law attorney.

Richard made my divorce process seem effortless on my part. He was very prompt in returning any calls/texts I made to him (always responded within a day or two. Talked to me like I was his only client, though I knew he was quite busy! Very respectful attorney!!

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 if not it was 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

Richard was easy to get a hold of, discussed everything with me thoroughly, was incredibly fair with me about billing, and offered me sound legal advice while allowing me to make my own decisions. I won sole physical and primary custody of my son along with pretty much everything I hoped for included in my custody agreement. My case was very heavy in the evidence department and Richard spent hours going over it with me. Richard sincerely wanted me to win custody of my son and even followed up after my court case ended to see how the transfer of custody was going.
