Excellent service & experience

Joe set up a revocable trust, will, power-of-attorney, and healthcare proxy for me, all with minimal fuss or busy work. I had an initial meeting with him to go over my personal situation and goals, and he clearly explained the purpose of each legal agreement, how they worked, and what the steps woul...d be to get them filed. He then prepared all the paperwork, sent them to me for review, and finally met in person with me to sign. It was quick, easy, and complete. He delivers all of the executed agreements in super handy organizer, and is always available to answer questions. I've worked with lots of lawyers, and this experience was top-notch.

Family Trust & Will

We hired Joe Lento to prepare a trust and a will. He provided prompt service and anwsered all our questions and concerns. Even though i have been in the real estate industry for years, i did not realize how important having a trust is to protect your assets. When an issue came up during a refinance o...f our home, Joe contacted the lender and resolved the issue. I would highly recomment Joe Lento for family trust and will preparation.

Highly Recommended!

I was searching for an Attorney to assist with my mother's Estate Planning when I came across Joe's name recommended in a Facebook post on a local page. I had already met with 3 other Attorney's but each left me overloaded with legal jargon, an astronomical cost estimate, concern that they were not p...roviding the best advice based on our circumstances, and/or the clear impression they were very busy and didn't have time to educate and explain the process as well as complete create our documents. From my 1st outreach to Mr Lento he was very personable, easy to talk to, took the time to explain all options in detail to us and the caveats of each, offered us guidance as well as shared his recommendations as to how we should handle each part of the Estate Planning. I knew right from that phone call that he was the right Attorney for us. He was then quick to respond to all the questions I emailed him. He was very accomodating of my mother who lives an hour away and isn't savvy with email so instead took the time to speak with her over the phone as well. The COVID restrictions had started just as we started our process but he made sure everyone's safety was a priority so we had to delay our signing with witnesses until it was safe to do so. When that time came we all were in masks wore, had our own pens, sat distanced, we again given the opportunity to ask more questions and in and out in under 30 minutes. I'm 100% confidential we received significantly better and more valuable service than we would've from any of the other Attorney's and ended up paying 1/3 of what others were trying to charge me. If I knew it could've been this easy, I wouldn't have procrastinated for about a year and a half! Hopefully this will save someone else the time and stress trying to decide on an Estate Planning Attorney. I'd highly recommend your search stops here. Thanks for everything!

Our experience getting a Durable Power of Attorney and Healthcare Proxy was simple and easy. Mr. Lento was thorough in explaining all aspects of both documents, and quick to complete the process. Highly recommend his services.

Assistance with transfer of 'title of deed to homestead'
