10/10 would recommend for student defense

I would tell any of my classmates to call Mr. Lento without hesitation if they ever needed guidance or peace of mind during an unfortunate academic situation. Working with Mr. Lento before any proceedings kicked off helped me feel as prepared as possible and less naïve about the whole process. Mr. Le...nto was well versed in graduate school academic misconduct proceedings and his institutional experience was invaluable. He was always prompt and involved and I was so relieved to have someone in my corner. I selected him amongst a few local student defense lawyers due to his quick response and confident engagement. Additionally, his fees were more reasonable, which was just the cherry on top. If I could look you in your eyes and tell you who to select, it would be Mr. Lento.

Best Attorney for Title IX Cases

Mr. Lento was a godsend. He was the first hit in my search for more information about Title IX and dealing with false accusations. I had no time for due diligence in researching attorneys to handle our case. He was impressively attentive to our case, communicating with us regularly, explaining thin...gs fully and patiently, and returning calls immediately. I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Lento’s work ethic, expertise and professionalism. Quite simply, he knows what he’s doing, and he does it supremely well. It’s terrifying to learn someone in your family has been falsely accused. Get help as soon as possible by contacting Mr. Lento. You will have peace of mind that you chose the right attorney to navigate an unjust process.

He took care of it!!

Mr. Lento was terrific. He was in constant communication with my girlfriend while I was detained, sending her updates on what he sent the D.A's office. He let me know in detail, the complications of the case and realistic expectations, and then he exceeded all of them. Not only did he get me released... without paying bail, but he also got my case terminated entirely. I had a VOP hearing for absconding from probation. I was picked up on an active bench warrant from 2018. We spoke with several attorneys, all of whom did not give me hope of any good news. He was the only one who was optimistic. Very professional and prompt. He got to work on my case right away. Absconding from probation is a serious offense and despite the hurdles and obvious complications of my case, he got it thrown out without me EVEN speaking to the judge. If you're in trouble and need legal counsel, this is the attorney and firm you want!!!

Hard working and goes above and beyond

We found Mr. Lento on line and needed assistance with a student issue at a local Philadelphia college. We had very little time to respond and had no idea how to handle things since we are not from the area. Mr. Lento responded to our message immediately, was compassionate and willing to assist. He... want above and beyond what the engagement letter detailed and stayed with us throughout the process even checking in after decisions were made. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard working attorney who cares about his clients.

Education Law Attorney

We hired Mr. Lento after going thru the school process with an attorney not experienced in education law. He helped us with a department of education office of civil rights complaint. Mr. Lento investigated the case and rectified the issue. Thanks to Mr. Lento's efforts and written pleadings we got t...he school to reverse its decision, which was a major accomplishment based on what was at stake. Thank You, Joe. We are grateful. We highly recommend Mr. Lento
