You need someone who knows the system — and how to work it to your advantage.

A Legal Mind That Works for You

I’m Dominic Paul Candino, a Buffalo native and lifelong fighter for people who need real help — not empty promises.



For over 25 years, I’ve worked courtroom by courtroom across Erie, Niagara, and surrounding counties to defend good people during their worst moments. I’ve built my reputation on strategy, stamina, and straight talk — because that’s what gets results.

From DWI defense and felony charges to family law disputes and personal injury cases, I fight to help you get your life back — because legal challenges don’t define you. What you do next does.
