Expertise and Confidence

Our family hired consulted with Mr. Lento to help navigate a complicated university process, where we had no experience. He explained the stages of the process and what we should expect. His expertise was an important factor in our decision to hire him to represent our family. His experience in th...is area gave us confidence that we were in good hands. The situation ultimately resolved in a positive way, with the help of Mr. Lento and his colleagues.

Student Defense

I highly recommend Mr. Lento and his law firm. They helped defend my son from an academic misconduct claim at his college. In addition to being highly responsive during the Holiday season and answering our email within hours, the lawyers assigned to our case worked with us tirelessly preparing a defe...nse. They were a constant source of reassurance during a very stressful time. My son won his case and has had his record cleared. There is no question that they helped us win a case where our son was unfairly accused of something he did not do. I do believe that we could have easily lost the case without their help because unfortunately his school does not make appealing a professor's decision student-friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend this law firm for any student related cases

Traffic Violation with Favorable Outcome: No Points

Joe Lento and his team are excellent. He is efficient, communicative, and reliable. With his professional expertise, he helped favorably resolve a traffic violation that would have resulted in 2 points to one without any points added to my driving record. I highly recommend Joe Lento without reservat...ion.

Successful Outcome!

Mr lento responded imediately, on a weekedn whe we called him about a very upsetting false allgation that was made against one of my college aged children. This was a situation that could have potentially ruined my child's college career and who knows what else. The whole notion of innocent until pr...oven guilty just does not exisit anymore. Mr Lento was also able to engage one of his colleagues to provide additional expertise. After some very stressful months, the case was dropped and our child exonerated was able to move on without any repercussions. We are very grateful to Mr Lento

Joeseph Lento is an extremely competent and effective attorney.

Attorney Joseph Lento provides an incomparable degree of expertise in representing his clients. I consulted at least a half dozen lawyers regarding my legal matter before deciding Joseph Lento offered the highest chances for success in resolving a traffic offense favorably, and I was not wrong. Havin...g no prior offenses on my record, when I researched the negative ramifications were I simply to plead guilty and pay a fine for a speeding infraction, the potential severity of the consequences could have been far longer lasting and more punitive beyond what a rational understanding of events should realistically merit. But, when you are at the mercy of the justice system, competent and qualified legal representation is essential. You cannot afford to take chances with representation that does not have your best interests at heart combined with a realistic understanding of your situation, personally, professionally, and legally. Joseph Lento was the only attorney in my search who did not hood-wink me into believing he could make the infraction disappear. Rather, he immediately established a plan of action requiring much effort on my behalf in establishing my background, my characterization of events, character references, and the completion of a defensive driving course previous to my hearing. All of these steps led to a positive resolution, including a reduction in fines, the removal of points against my license, avoiding a potential suspension of my driving privileges, and a healthy and candid conversation with the prosecuting attorney. While our criminal justice system offers many advantages over other nations, it is hardly without its flaws and often ignores the contextual relevance of the individual circumstances that may have led to your infraction. Your money is much more wisely spent on competent and experienced legal representation to communicate your characterization of events and offer a sincere willingness to achieve a fair resolution that benefits all parties involved, as opposed to simply admitting guilt and paying a fine and accepting the consequences to achieve an immediate resolution which, in effect, can result in long-term ramifications you cannot contest later. If you’re reading this review, it is likely you find yourself in a challenging situation requiring immediate action, and I strongly urge you to consult Joseph Lento and his team before you arrive at a decision. Retaining his services was the best possible course of action I could have taken, and the favorable results he achieved are proof. Please weigh your decision carefully and know that the cost of an experienced attorney is worthwhile when you need to establish your portrayal of events, navigate the intimidating justice system we live within, and to preserve your reputation. I cannot thank Joseph and his team enough for their effort on my behalf, and you won’t either.
