He took care of it!!

Mr. Lento was terrific. He was in constant communication with my girlfriend while I was detained, sending her updates on what he sent the D.A's office. He let me know in detail, the complications of the case and realistic expectations, and then he exceeded all of them. Not only did he get me released... without paying bail, but he also got my case terminated entirely. I had a VOP hearing for absconding from probation. I was picked up on an active bench warrant from 2018. We spoke with several attorneys, all of whom did not give me hope of any good news. He was the only one who was optimistic. Very professional and prompt. He got to work on my case right away. Absconding from probation is a serious offense and despite the hurdles and obvious complications of my case, he got it thrown out without me EVEN speaking to the judge. If you're in trouble and need legal counsel, this is the attorney and firm you want!!!

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!)

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!

The Attorney You Need

Fantastic attorney. Very professional. Returned calls or responded to emails that day, never kept me waiting. Knowledgeable about case and options. Took initiative and followed through on everything he said he would do. Clear, concise, yet thorough, communicator. I highly recommend Mr. Lento for... any legal needs in Philadelphia.

Thank You

Mr. Lento is by far an amazing attorney as well as a well mannered young man. He works over and above for his clients especially mine who is in the Autistic Spectrum. I would recommend Mr. Lento to anyone in need of legal services. Initially when I left a message with his service I was taken back by... the quickness of his response to my message. He made me a little nervous as he had to arrive a little late for our court date, but once there he put his whole heart and being into the case.

Theresa, Thank you. Fighting for justice as an attorney and achieving great outcomes for clients who are often facing long odds requires a combination of various characteristics - for example, dedication, experience, heart - and also coordination at times. As explained, when the Court on Friday, April 19th scheduled another hearing date on Monday, April 22nd to further consider the great result we accomplished on April 19th, I had a previously scheduled matter on April 22nd that needed to be attended to first thing in the morning, but I am pleased I was also able to accommodate what needed to be attended to for your case that same day and that we were able to get the same great result on April 22nd. Bringing the necessary characteristics to the table, including coordination, allows me to get my clients successful outcomes and I am pleased I could do the same for your family. Thank you kindly.
