My DUI case

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

Tenacious & Committed

Overall, Mr. Joseph Lento turned out being tremendously helpful when I needed an attorney to have something on my record that was dismissed to be Expunged. I didn't even know the meaning of expungement. What I did know that is that I needed legal counsel as soon as possible to delete the offense of...f my record or it would stay there forever and anyone who ran a background check on me would see there was a record underneath my name that said dismissed. None the less, it was still something that looked like I had a criminal record and I was not about to have that follow me around the rest of my life! I was scared and didn't know who to contact so I googled "attorneys near me, expungement". Mr. Joseph Lento, Lento Law Firm was the first one to pop up in my search and had great reviews so I called him immediately. He explained as much as he could to me what it meant to have something expunged from your record and walked me through exactly what would have to be done on his end to file for an expungement with the courts and was very upfront about the costs for everything. He checked in with me via email with any updates and filed the paperwork so fast that my expungement was granted a lot faster than the normal turnaround time! I'm grateful for all his help and would recommend him highly. Now I am confident to apply for a new job without worrying about a future employer seeing something on my record when they run a a background check.

Great Service

Joseph was great ! We had a family member in jail and our biggest concern was getting them out of jail. Joseph listened to us and our concerns & helped us out to get the best outcome. Joseph got our family member out and we are so grateful for him. Would totally keep him in mind if anything else ever... occurs. Hopefully we won’t have another situation but will for sure keep him in mind if ever needed.

A 2nd Probation Violation in PA

I have a friend (lady) that was on Probation in Bucks County whom had committed their second violation of probation along with obtaining a new misdemeanor charge from a local township in New Jersey. She was locked up in New Jersey, due to the Bench Warrant, and was waiting for extradition to PA. I ra...ndomly went on line and checked for attorneys in PA whom I could make inquiry with about the situation and after talking with Mr. Lento along with others. I conferred with my friend via telephone and we decided that she definitely needed to have an attorney. I also live in New Jersey, so I had to decide on an attorney to represent her with the Bucks County court process. I made several calls and email inquiries with various attorneys in the PA area. After having a few conversations and email inquiries with Mr. Lento, along with doing my homework, I decided to hire Mr.Lento to represent her.. Please understand that all communications with Mr. Lento were through myself via telephone and email as the result of the acquaintance being locked up in New Jersey. My friend was fully aware of the process since we spoke everyday via telephone. Mr.Lento contacted the DA and Probation Officers of Bucks County PA to begin negotiations for her release. He communicated me the final resolution, which I explained to my friend, and relayed to him that this was acceptable. The deal was complete. My friend was transferred to Bucks County and appeared in court a few days later. When court began, my friend was approached by the prosecution of a deal, which included 90 days incarcerated. She immediately told them that she was represented by an attorney and she would not accept their offer. She told them that her attorney had negotiated a deal with their offices and that was not part of the agreement. They immediately went back to their offices and validated that there was a deal already agreed upon. As a result, my friend was released the next day once they validated her address in New Jersey. We both were extremely happy and thankful to Mr. Lento for his professional help. He returned all calls and emails quickly. I would hire Mr. Lento for further problems that are encountered in the future.

Serious Domestic Violence Case Dismissed

Attorney Joseph D. Lento helped a loved one with a serious domestic violence case which involved both criminal charges and a protection from abuse order. Despite being falsely accused, everything was on the line including the defendant's professional employment, the children, and even the family hom...e. Mr. Lento came through in all respects and literally saved a loved one's life and future. Mr. Lento recommended a strategy to best address the criminal case and the PFA, and as importantly, he executed so effectively that the assistant district attorney was shell shocked at the end of the criminal case. I highly recommend Mr. Lento when the stakes are high and failure is not an option.
