My son was dealing with criminal charges on top of a DUI. We found Joe Lento on the web, and he responded very quickly - on Easter Sunday! Because the cases were intertwined, the court appearances were complicated with two judges, two DAs and multiple court dates. Joe navigated the complexities of... the cases and dealt with a senior DA (who wanted extended jail time) and a number of different court offices to ultimately have my son released to a treatment facility. Treatment is what he really needed, and we all believe it was the best possible outcome. My family is thankful that Joe took the case and stuck with it, overcoming a number of legal and administrative obstacles thrown in the way.

Joe was extremely helpful when I called him (found his firm based on a google search). He didn’t hesitate to offer immediate advice about what the possible issues might be & guided me through the pros and cons of using an attorneyBin the particular matter at hand. Although we didn’t need his professi...onal services in the end and didn’t have to hire him, he gave me proper and honest input for me to make that decision, and for that I am very grateful. Also he got back to me immediately - not always the case with other attorneys I’ve worked with in the past.

Hiring a criminal attorney shouldn't have to be hard but it is. There are attorneys who want you to sell your home just to pay their astronomical fees and you and your loved ones are left in worse condition than they found you. There are attorneys who don't care and aren't prepared to fight and bas...ically don't want to...why? You've already paid them! Mr. Lento answered every phone call and/or text (no matter what time it was). He was focused on the details of the case (which simply means he listens.) He will fight for you, even when you feel like you have no more fight left to get you and/or your loved one the best possible outcome. He is very affordable. I hadn't seen my son smile in a while. He was facing some very serious charges. But today, we smiled. Mr. Lento, you did something else today that I will always remember and cherish as a parent. After my son's charges were dismissed, you didn't leave him with a handshake and wish him well. You took the time to speak to this young man on a personal basis. You gave him hope and that is something that our money didn't buy. I will always be grateful. I can only pray that your business will remain blessed. Thank you.

I can not stress enough how important legal representation is when facing a potentially life changing charge. I have worked with other attorneys prior to Mr. Lento, and I can say Mr. Lento is the best of the best. I was facing a state minimum charge on a second DUI case of 90 days in jail. Typically ...these things are non-negotiable, however, Mr. Lento went above and beyond collecting proper documentation necessary to present a case for me. Due to circumstances, he was able to negotiate a plea bargain with the ADO that prevented jail time. Not only this, but minimizes all legal repercussions substantially. Overall this saved me unimaginable amounts of fees/cost and enabled me to continue down the path I’ve made in life. I am indebted to this man for the time and effort he took to help me continue a sustainable, happy, and healthy life. Thank you again Mr. Lento, you are the best of the best! I hope you go far in life. -Nate
