My son was dealing with criminal charges on top of a DUI. We found Joe Lento on the web, and he responded very quickly - on Easter Sunday! Because the cases were intertwined, the court appearances were complicated with two judges, two DAs and multiple court dates. Joe navigated the complexities of... the cases and dealt with a senior DA (who wanted extended jail time) and a number of different court offices to ultimately have my son released to a treatment facility. Treatment is what he really needed, and we all believe it was the best possible outcome. My family is thankful that Joe took the case and stuck with it, overcoming a number of legal and administrative obstacles thrown in the way.

Mr Lento is the type of attorney that will make you feel like his only client. We never waited more than 15mins for a call back no matter the time. He took his time explaining all the steps needed to resolve our issue. He explained all the legal terms, the pros and cons and answered every question we... had. After our issue was resolved, he still followed up to make sure everything was taken care of. He really took the stress away from our situation and made sure were well taken care of.

Attorney Joseph D. Lento helped a loved one with a serious domestic violence case which involved both criminal charges and a protection from abuse order. Despite being falsely accused, everything was on the line including the defendant's professional employment, the children, and even the family hom...e. Mr. Lento came through in all respects and literally saved a loved one's life and future. Mr. Lento recommended a strategy to best address the criminal case and the PFA, and as importantly, he executed so effectively that the assistant district attorney was shell shocked at the end of the criminal case. I highly recommend Mr. Lento when the stakes are high and failure is not an option.

Mr. Lento helped me through the hardest time of my life. I was arrested for aggravated assault, and he successfully worked to get the felony charge dropped and eventually get me accepted into ARD. While the process was not always clear to me, Mr. Lento was consistently quick to respond to my question...s, genuinely concerned for my welfare, and he clearly has experience in how to navigate the Philadelphia court system. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing charges they don’t know how to deal with alone.
