knocked it out of the park.

Great job by mr. Lento. During the time that he addressed my case I was kept up to date as things were happening. Could not speak highly enough about his professionalism. You da man Joe.

Mr. Lento Fought False Title IX Charges On Behalf of My Son and Won

As the parents of a young man at college, we of course had the expected concerns with our son being away from home for the first time, especially with him being on the other side of the country. He had worked his entire to reach this point, having excelled both academically and also as an athlete, a...nd he would be playing a Division I sport at a top academic school in country. We could not be more proud as parents. Part of life is learning through experience for better or worse, but we spoke with our son before he left for school, letting him that he may find himself in social situations for the first time that can led potential issues. We tried to focus on the positives of a young man being away at college, and we were of course incredibly upset when we learned that our son was being investigated for a Title IX complaint made by an ex-girlfriend which was all the more upsetting because our son is a good person. He was raised to be a gentleman and we knew the claims made against him were false. Our son had worked his entire life to get to where he was and we were not going to let false allegations upend his life. We learned of Mr. Lento's success with defending against Title IX charges, and we asked him to help our son. Having to endure the school's Title IX process and the potential issues that can arise along the way is not easy, but Mr. Lento came through with flying colors in all respects. He explained what would need to take place every step of the way, he fought tooth and nail for our son, and he made a difficult time in our family's life bearable as we knew he was there for us and doing everything he could to save a young man's future. In the end, Mr. Lento demonstrated why he is the best at what he does. He literally saved a young man's life. Thank you, Mr. Lento - We are forever grateful for you.

Absolutely incredible.

When my son (who's standing here with me while I'm typing up this review just to make sure his appreciation of Mr. Lento comes through in these words) and I got thrown without warning into the confusing waters of trying to navigate a false Title IX accusation for the first time, we honestly felt blin...d throughout most of the process. His university's vague, terse, and confusing communication regarding the processes involved in a Title IX hearing was far from sufficient, and being new to these sorts of situations made us very worried (to say the least), especially when considering just how serious the consequences of these cases can be. Although he didn't do what he was accused of, due to our lack of knowledge of how these sorts of situations are handled, it felt at times like we were grasping at anything and everything we could to prove his innocence instead of having a coherent plan. When we requested Mr. Lento's services about halfway through the process, all those fears were soon allayed (at least, as much as they could have been). The consistent sense of clarity and direction inherent in both Mr. Lento's communication and the general way he handled the process was reassuring in that it helped us feel grounded for the first time in 4 months since the process began. For the first time, we felt a sense of hope and a modicum of confidence in the midst of everything that was happening, and that was almost entirely the result of Mr. Lento's words and actions. When it came to the hearing itself, Mr. Lento was once again exemplary in his services. He went the extra distance for us by being present via video conference throughout the trial, gave us incredibly well-written statements and detailed questions to use in the trial, and offered valuable advice and support the whole time. We honestly underestimated the value of having him available via video conference during the proceedings - having him there during the hearing itself proved incredibly valuable and gave my son and me more comfort and ease than we could have possibly hoped for. In essence, everything Mr. Lento did for us, both before and during the trial, went above and beyond our hopes and expectations of a Title IX attorney, and we would duly and eagerly recommend him for anyone else finding themselves in a similarly difficult situation. (P.S. after 5 months of ire, my son won an innocent verdict in his trial, and this right outcome have been an extremely unlikely one if not for Mr. Lento's services!)

Joseph every time

I STRONGLY recommend Joseph Lento to be your attorney and help with anything legal and/or title IX related. I found out some horrible results that were unfair and atypical. I had just one week to make an appeal. The pressure and nature of the issue caused extreme emotional distress. I found Joseph...’s Law firm online after calling around to what must have been every attorney office across the entire state from where I live. Joseph responded within a minute of reaching out on a Saturday afternoon, took my case against all odds, and for that I am grateful. Joseph has more experience than all the attorneys in my state combined, is incredibly professional, compassionate, and remains logical in a very emotional situation. Me being a very emotional person, he came through for me in every possible way even though in a different state. The final result was the best possible option, and Joseph helped me understand the pros/cons of every possible alternative. He works hard to make sure you are taken care of, and he will literally drop everything he is doing to help you. He always responded within minutes and the same day for any and all concerns, strategizing to help me achieve the best possible option against all odds. Joseph, thank you for taking the pressure off of my shoulders and for taking my case on such short notice. I appreciate your compassion, your professionalism, and your ability to stay calm and logical in the middle of what felt like chaos for me. If I ever need an attorney in the future again, you are my first choice every time. Thank you so much for all of your time and support! E

So Far So Good!

Back in January I was pulled over and given a ticket. This ticket carried a hefty fine as well as a mandatory 90 day jail sentence. I knew the moment I got it, I had to be proactive in finding an attorney who could help my situation because I had my parents to provide for. I searched for hours onl...ine and read many reviews of different attorney's who have dealt with the situation that I was in. One attorney stood out from the crowd and that was Mr. Lento. I gave him a call and explained my situation. He was very upfront with me from the start and only charged a flat rate from the get go for his services. After agreeing to his payment terms I provided him with all of the information that he requested of me. From that moment on he went to work to see how he could get the best possible outcome for my situation. He kept me informed through out the process all the way up to the court date. When the court date finally came around Mr. Lento was prompt and on time. He was able to speak with the officer as well as judge and they all came to a much more favorable outcome that kept me out of jail and able to still care for my parents. Instead of the mandatory jail time I have community service to complete along with a few other minor things all by this summer, which then I will go back to court and the charge will be dropped to a lower charge that will not affect my license in the future. So far so good, I give Mr. Lento a 5 stars and recommend him to anyone in need!
