just now Aug 22 2020 I was driving 70 in a 65 which resulted in a traffic stop. I had a warrant for failure to report . Probation violation . Was taken Into custody at Atlantic County Justice facility. This was in the middle of COVID-19 lockdown which left me with One hour a day access to phone whic...h would be 2am one day then 6:30 am the next regardless of time which was always a random time I would get that hour. My girlfriend spent hours searching online for an attorney . At first I told her hold off it’s way too expensive for an attorney when I’m only here for a VOP ,no new crime. Yet with my court date being pushed back two months already did the Covid I gave her the OK and immediately Joseph went to work I thought the messages I was receiving from my girlfriend were inflated miss leading not really going to happen boss hope maybe and when I went to court my first time . It was obvious Joseph was new in front of Miss Johnson my judge hand a continuous was needed in order to hear my case of course this is not normally a big deal but when you’re in custody and it’s COVID-19 protocol and pomade to be honest I was regretful at first upset and I was considering hiring a new attorney . And in hindsight that was just killed by emotions and the feeling of being trapped from the outside world and a feeling of helplessness so by the time I got back from the courthouse to my pod I was able to call my girlfriend to find out what happened all those regrets and feelings I had just experienced hours ago well quickly washed away Joe spoke to my girlfriend and basically said he will not except the DAs offer and would get me my counter offer at my next court date which was 28 days away so when my court date came, I took the deal. Joe was completely in sync with the judge and the DAG this time . No surprises , he did exactly what he said he would do . I was happy and I only needed three more days until I got released that’s with All available jail credits work-time credits good time credits and full minimum custody credits. Worktime credits and good time credits are mandated by the state of New Jersey , full minimum custody Or a Atlantic County Justice facility credit earning credit that is mentioned in the Atlantic County Justice facility handbook. For reasons that don’t apply to the handling of my case and Joe’s behalf the jail decided not to give me the full Minimum custody credits which I earned and was eligible for via the Atlantic County Justice facility handbook. I could not get a straight answer from classification records for any officer in the facility and my girlfriend work with Joseph lentil and a few days later after I was told by everyone I was not going to get out until the beginning of February I got called out of work (kitchen pm cook)that the warden approve my immediate release. Now mind you Joseph had already completed his job , his job was over but he still fought for me. He contacted the sgt in Classification lieutenant and records and finally he wrote to the warden and within eight hours and 16 days before my February 6 date I was out . Of course I was already satisfied as he followed thru with everything he said he would do . So why did I wait 6 + weeks to write review. Well I wanted to not write it full of emotions as I wanted it to be objective as possible , which I believe I have just did. So I guess the reason I’m writing this is .. would I hire Joe again ?? ABSOLUTELY ! I would recommend him to anyone cause after he is retained he goes into his ROCKY mode , he will fight and fight for you and he he is straight up with u , that itself is a win-win right there . Ok now Joe if you’re reading this ,, thank you very much for not giving up and going the extra mile ! Sry bout next part but I should mention this. I am in Construction and my girlfriend is a hairdresser both of us have been out of work due to Covid-19, Joe surprised us both by taking my case on for less than he usually would charge .Tyvm!!!

I called Lento Law Firm over winter break about an issue I was facing at an academic instituion. He personally returned my call the same day and assured me that he could help. His entire team is extremely dedicated, professional and confident. Everyone is highly educated and trained in supporting the...ir clients. In the end I won my appeal and I couldn't be more grateful. Go with Lento!!!

My son was hit with a serious but false allegation of a Title IX infraction. Joe Lento walked us through the entire process from the beginning and was there for us throughout the 10 month process and the several days long hearing. Our case kept getting more and more complicated due to a changing stor...y from the complainant and varying adherence to the Title IX process by the university. Having Mr. Lento in our corner was an amazing thing to behold. He was diligent, professional, and transparent with us. I cannot imagine going through that hell without him by our side. My son was cleared of the charges and has his future back. We are so grateful. Hiring Mr. Lento was the best money we ever spent and the best decision we made throughout this process.

I would highly recommend the Lento Law Firm for any student dealing with a disciplinary case. My case was not the easiest to defend, but Mr.Lento and his associate Mr.Altman were very helpful and non-judgmental. I reached out on a Sunday and received a response the same night despite it being a weeke...nd. I was able to explain the situation and come up with a game plan with both Mr.Lento and Mr.Altman within the next week despite my hearing being less than 10 days away. I don't think that I would have been able to get the same result from the hearing alone as I did with their help and support. I am a naturally anxious person and this situation was stress-inducing to a new level for me and Mr.Altman was able to make me feel calm and hopeful despite everything that was going on with my life and my future. He made sure to call me in the days leading up to the hearing and in the morning of the hearing in order to make sure that I was prepared and that I had confidence in our plan. The original punishment for my misconduct was dismissal from my program which would have had detrimental effects on my future and my chances of ever going to school again. Thankfully, with the help of the Lento Law Firm, I was able to reduce the sanction and significantly improve my chances of pursuing my dream career. I cannot express enough gratitude.
