Very Dedicated

My boyfriend got into a terrible situation where the parole board was trying to take 2-4 years of his life from him. We dealt with other lawyers before this particular court date and they were all just a bad experience and very unhelpful, had their own agenda. Then, we requested some help from Joseph... Lento; best decision we made! He actually, genuinely, cared about our situation. He did his homework about the case and went above and beyond for my boyfriend. The results of his hard work were incredible! With his skills as a lawyer and a little bit of luck, we got the best outcome we could've hoped for. When you have to hire a lawyer, you're in a bad, uncomfortable position, but he made us feel like we were just having a conversation with a friend while getting everything done that needed to be done. I highly recommended Joseph, you won't regret choosing him!

Awesome attorney!!

I would recommend Mr. Lento to anyone! I hired him for my girlfriend with less than a month for a violation of parole hearing where she was facing 6 months of incarceration. Needless to say we walked out of court with no jail time. He is always available for his clients whether its early in the morni...ng or 9 at night. He was a great help and offered great support and advice throughout the process. Thanks Mr. Lento!

A1 Attorney!

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Lento as an attorney to be represented by! I had hired him with only less than a month before my court date, which was for a violation of parole. I was facing 6 months of jail time and because of him, I was able to walk out of court facing no time. He is very trust worthy..., and his advice is A1!

A+++ Attorney -

Last June I had an incident that required me immediately to immediately retain counsel. I ended up being represented by someone that clearly was unwilling to do what it takes to handle my case. We were then referred to Joseph Lento. Within an hour of leaving a message for him I was speaking to him... on his private cell phone about my case. Mr. Lento immediately jumped into action. Within days he made multiple calls on our behalf to the courts and the district attorney. It was apparent that he believed in me and was willing to do what it takes to get me a fair trial. Although we did not retain him until months into the legal proceedings, Mr. Lento truly went the extra mile for me. He accommodated my schedule with flexible meeting alternatives, he did very thorough research and case review, and he even checked in with me every day to let me know how it was going. The DA wanted 2 years in jail and on my first visit to court Mr. Lento got them to offer a few months probation. Although Mr. Lento was willing and able to go to trial he did what I asked and accepted the deal. There is not a doubt in my mind that if I had him from the beginning I would have won my case and moved on with my life knowing that justice was truly served. It is important to have someone that has your back and truly believes in you when dealing with the courts. I always knew I was in good hands and he always put my fears at ease. I truly cannot say enough good things about him. I hope that I never need a criminal attorney again but if ever there is a need I know who to call.

Best vop lawyer in Philadelphia

Joseph lento put up a great defense for me even though I felt as though it was almost impossible for me on my fourth violation. I could not believe the outcome for the both times I used Joseph Lento. I felt very good about going back in front of my back judge he gave me hope that we still had a chanc...e which I did I am now home with my family,I would definitely refer him to all my friends and family and I would definitely use him again if I need too.
