An Unfortunate Let Down
Mr. Lento was tasked with helping me go through an informal resolution process as a result of a Title IX sexual assault accusation. During the process, it felt like Mr. Lento wasn't really trying, with all due respect. I felt like I was put on the back burner for other cases he had going on that need...
Amir, I regret seeing your concerns, but respectfully, your review is not an accurate representation of what took place or the outcome. I am hopeful that my response will provide you insight. Not only were you accused of serious misconduct at college by the complainant, you admit to having done as alleged in large part. This is not a criticism, but it is the reality of the allegations against you. Whether the case would be resolved via a formal process or an informal resolution was by no means known when we started working together in late January 2021. Prior to us starting to work together, the school was pressing you to explain the allegations against you via a formal investigation. Once we started working together, not only were we able to avoid having to discuss the allegations for which there unfortunately would have been no reasonable explanation for your conduct, we were able to get the allegations against you resolved via an informal resolution which on its own can be a great outcome. Independent of this consideration, I negotiated with the school for close to four months to have the terms of the informal resolution made as favorable as possible for you despite push back at times from both the complainant and the school. In addition to multiple meetings involving the school, me, and you, there were approximately 128 emails regarding matters related to your case from when we started working together in late January 2021 to the resolution of your case in May 2021. This is not to mention countless other steps taken on your behalf during the course of representation. Additionally, I was always immediately available to you whenever needed. To suggest that you were put on the back burner is completely inconsistent with what took place. As explained, unless the complainant, the respondent, and the school agree to the informal resolution and also its specific terms, there will be no informal resolution. If there was to be no informal resolution in your case, you would have had to resolve the allegations against you via a formal process where there unfortunately would have been overwhelming evidence against you. If you were to have been found responsible via the formal process, you would likely be suspended from the school at an absolute minimum. Such an outcome can literally have a lifetime of negative consequences. Per the informal resolution we were able to achieve on your behalf: 1) you continue as a student at the school completely unimpeded; 2) there is no finding of responsibility or admission of responsibility for the misconduct on your part (despite the complainant at one point seeking an admission of responsibility by you); and 3) you will never have to disclose any wrongdoing on your part because we were able to altogether avoid a determination regarding responsibility. You have to complete three months of counseling per the informal resolution. A condition of an informal resolution which would be required of a respondent (namely, three months of counseling in your case) would only be considered by me if it puts the respondent in a better position overall. If a condition were to be suggested in exchange for some benefit to the respondent, the goal would be to make the burden as minimal as possible. Because the complainant changed her mind as the informal resolution was being finalized and sought an admission of responsibility to the allegations on your part if she were to continue to agree to an informal resolution, completing three months of counseling to get the complainant to agree to there being no admission of any kind on your part and to resolve the case via informal resolution is a small price to pay to have the rest of your life ahead of you. In sum, we achieved a great outcome for you and I worked hard to do so. I would hope that you would recognize this, but I am of course willing to discuss and address your concerns further. Please feel free to contact me to discuss. Thank you.

Title IX
We found ourselves in a last minute situation with our son regarding a claim by another student. As I browsed the web I found Mr. Lento's site. After a review with my wife we decided that this was the firm we were looking for. After he and I had a short conversation, he set up a review call with myse...
Steven, Thank you!

Stayed committed to the end!
My boyfriend had been arrested for 2 violations of probation, as well as some other non violent offenses in a total different case. Not to mention two separate counties. When I hired Mr. Lento, we were not aware of the complexities involved, but he stuck with us to the end! Can’t thank you enough for...
Jessica, Thank you!

The best of the best
No words can explain the level of generosity and the professionalism in which I was met with when I first reached out to the Lento Law Firm. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Lento Law Firm. Initially, I was hesitant to look for a lawyer, due to monetary constraints and confidence. ...
Thank you!
