Mr. Lento and his team have truly changed my life. I highly recommend Mr. Lento to anyone in need of an attorney, especially regarding an issue with higher education. The decision to seek an attorney was not an easy one for me. I did not think I had a case and the idea of possibly going to trial was ...terrifying. Mr. Lento and his team supported me and gave me hope during an extremely dark time of my life. They were understanding, cooperative, and genuine people. Their hard work and professionalism led to my quick reinstatement into a graduate program. Mr. Lento and his team have given me my future back! Forever thankful for all of his hard work.

I have worked with many attorneys over the years in a professional capacity and Joseph Lento stands among the absolute best! My family and I are very thankful that he was able to help with a very challenging Title IX case involving my son. Mr. Lento was exemplary in all respects. It was not easy at... times as our son had to try his best to continue to focus on school and other responsibilities, and we as his parents live on the other side of the country. Being falsely accused of sexual misconduct is obviously a difficult position to be in, but nothing phased Mr. Lento as he was able to plan and manage a strategy to defeat the Title IX charges all the while keeping my son and our family on track and able to rise above the difficult circumstances. In the end, Mr. Lento was able to have my son cleared of any wrongdoing and he helped us all through an incredibly difficult time in our lives. Nora

I initially contacted the Lento Law Firm on Christmas Eve a few years ago. I could not believe it, but Joe answered my call! We talked for more than an hour. He helped our family to resolve a complex Title IX issue with a local university that we had no idea how to address. We are extremely grateful ...for his knowledge and expertise in this area, and his professional responsiveness. We can't thank him enough for his help.

I found myself in need of an attorney to assist me in a Title IX matter at my school. After search the internet, I came across Mr. Lento. Within 2 hours of me sending a contact request I received a call. Mr. Lento took the time to explain to me the entire process so that I fully understood wha...t I was facing. He talked about the new rules and how they changed the process and how this could impact my matter. While he could not make me any promises, he made it clear to me that going through the Title IX process on my own could have life altering consequences. He was so right. During the hearing, the accuser tried to introduce things which had nothing to do with the complaint. Mr. Lento was involved and made sure that the rules were followed. I am sure that if I had been alone, this would have gone very bad for me. Of the four charges they brought against me, I was found not responsible for three of them and responsible for the least serious of the charges. I am sure that without Mr. Lento, I would have been found responsible for all of them and would have been expelled. Instead, I was placed on probation, had to write an apology letter, and a short paper. I learned a valuable lesson from the experience and to be more sensitive to the things I say. Without Mr. Lento, I am sure that I would be expelled. This would have been life altering. He explained to me that if I was expelled, I probably would not be able to go to another university. THroughout the process, Mr. Lento was always in communication with me. He put together a hearing plan and he prepared me for being questioned. Any questions that I had, Mr. Lento was prepared to answer and took the time I needed. He helped me manage the stress of the situation. If you have a need for a title IX lawyer, Mr. Lento is the person to call. You will be in the best hands with his support and assistance.

As a parent, you are excited to send off your child to college as they continue to becoming adults. Then you get a call from your child that they have a "Hearing" at their University with four days to prepare with serious consequences. After trying to contain your emotions, my wife an I reached out ...to Joseph Lento. We scheduled a consultation and Joseph clearly presented a plan to defend our child. He worked with us collectively but more importantly with our daughter on how to frame her defense. He developed a clear plan for her and they prepared for the hearing. The hearing went as good as could be expected under the circumstances but the preparation along with the plan allowed our daughter to clearly deliver her side of the story. She was able to avoid serious penalties and now will just have a letter to write to the hearing panel. The outcome would not have been as good without the tireless effort by Joseph especially over a weekend. He was able to help us take the emotions out of the process and be fully prepared. I would highly recommend any parent that needs to help their child with a University Hearing to hire Joseph. It will be the best move you can make if you find yourself in this position with your college age child.
