Responsive & Committed!

I'm located in NC and found Mr. Lento by a simple google search. I could've used a local attorney but most of them were not responsive and/or could not prioritize my case. I was wrongly accused for academic misconduct and needed legal support to help protect my biggest asset (My education). Based ...on his reviews I decided to move forward and give him a call. I called on a Sunday afternoon. He immediately returned my phone call to discuss my situation. I decided to move forward after doing my own due diligence in researching his background as an attorney, on all review platforms, and more. Mr. Lento definitely lived up to the hype. He was well researched, experienced, and was vested into my case. Mr. Lento coached me and I went into my meeting with so much more confidence than I would have otherwise by myself. I am happy to say I have been exonerated and can move forward! For anyone else going through a similar situation and was wrongly accused for academic dishonesty I wouldn't wait to hire an attorney. I will definitely consider using Mr. Lento in the future and will also recommend to others.

Excellent lawyer!!!

I consulted with Mr. Lento and he immediately agreed to take my case. I feel as though he knew exactly where I was coming from. He put his self in my shoes, and proceeded with the case, in that manner. Mr. Lento arranged it so, I could pay him in portions, because I could not afford his fee when our ...consultation ended. He was with me every step of the way, because a lot was on the line for me, and he prioritized the case in that manner. During the trial, he coached me and what was going on, and made sure I stayed calm throughout the process. He saw that I was very nervous, and assured me that he had my back. He definitely had my back! We won the case, after spending the whole day in Court. He told me he has dealt with many cases like mines, and it's unfortunate that, nice folks are always taken advantage. Considering the Plaintiff was not happy with the outcome of the case, Mr. Lento walked me out to the parking garage, to make sure I was safe. He also showed me the proper way to wear a suit. He absolutely went about and beyond, exceeding my expectations, as my lawyer. I can see why he has been so successful, because he definitely puts his clients first. Thank you so much, Mr. Lento, and I will be sure to contact you again if I ever need representation in the future.

Couldn’t have found a better lawyer!

I can’t say enough good things about Joseph. My daughter and I live in Pittsburgh and travel to Philadelphia for her meetings with her probation officer. Right after Thanksgiving, my daughter was detained in Delaware County for a probation violation. Finding a lawyer from 300+ miles away is extremely... stressful to say the least. I found Joseph from an article he wrote on probation violations on his website. After reading the article and looking through the rest of the site, I decided to call for a consultation. Best decision I ever made! Joseph called me back immediately, gave me a direct number I could reach him at any time day or night, emailed me or called with updates regularly, and answered all my questions without being condescending or making me feel stupid. He went above and beyond working over the holidays, including going to court on New Year’s Eve, to get my daughter home. If it wasn’t for Joseph, my daughter would probably still be detained.

Great Results

Highly recommend Joe. I received a traffic citation which resulted in me needing to attend a trial in court. I had no idea what to do and reached out to Joesph to ask if he would be willing to represent me in the hearing. Joe was able to have my citation reduced, and fully explained every step of the... process as we went along, so I was in no doubt as to what the next steps would be, and what each stage of the process meant for me and my driving record. If I ever have need for an attorney again, I will look no further.

College misconduct charges resolved...

After a loved one was accused of misconduct at college, and despite never having faced anything similar previously, we knew we had to take the necessary steps in light of the potential consequences. Knowing that we would get the best possible outcome with someone experienced with such matters, we co...ntacted attorney Joseph Lento, who, among other areas of expertise, specializes in defending students in such proceedings. In working with Mr. Lento, it was clear that he has won many battles on behalf of students who are accused, whether wrongfully or not, and it was also clear that he would do everything possible to help our family. In addition to having impressive knowledge of the ins and outs of the college disciplinary system, he addressed our loved one’s matter not only with incomparable dedication and drive, but also compassion; which is just as important when a loved one is faced with such a difficult situation. When all was said and done, Mr. Lento made a very difficult path much easier to bear, and we could not have been more pleased and impressed with the ultimate outcome.
