Professional, fast, and thorough

Mr. Lento took his time and explained every step of the process of creating a trust in simple ways that were easy to understand. He took so much time to listen to my desires and customize this estate planning. I also did not feel rushed at all like I have with other professionals but also had the fee...ling that he was able to turn things around quickly when needed. I'd highly recommend his services.

Trust, will and healthcare proxy

My husband and I procrastinated way too long to do a will and trust thinking of the hassle involved. But, to the contrary, Joe made it simple and easy for us while thoroughly providing us with courteous, caring and proficient service. We were comfortable asking as many questions needed to understand ...the process. And as all is now completed, Joe, continues to make us aware of him being available for any further questions. We highly recommend Joe Lento for all your estate planning.

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!

Great attorney!

Attorney Joseph Lento is outstanding and epitomizes every sense of the meaning a “true professional. “ My husband and I worked with him on several matters. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, organized and timely, but also generous with his time, explained everything in depth and made certain we ...understood every detail. He handled a situation that was difficult for us and executed it with ease, expertise, kindness and compassion. We honestly felt that we were in the right hands and well taken care of. We highly recommend attorney Joseph Lento!
