I made initial contact with Joseph Lento after reading positive reviews on his website. I had a case of “violating honor code of the university” and had my Conduct meeting in 2 days with the Dean. I was very nervous since this was the first instance and I did not know what were the repercussions of... this and all the anxiety and fear that came with it were hard for me to manage. I contacted on their website(via chat message), the operator immediately responded, took all my details and promised that Mr Lento will respond asap. I got a call within the next 10 mins. Mr Lento listened to me patiently, made me feel at ease by answering my questions, took the dates for the meeting and other deadline dates. After I forwarded all of my university emails regarding the violation, he scheduled a meeting with me and his team. They came up with a plan of action including assisting me by being on the hearing meeting. Along with this, they educated me on the whole process(no sugarcoating; clear steps on what to expect and how the firm can help out). After preparing me for the interview, my confidence level shot up since I knew such a wonderful firm and a person was behind me, helping out every step of the way. I would say, I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness to Mr Lento and his entire team. I was able to get out scratch free from the incident entirely because of Mr Joseph Lento. If you are unfortunately in similar situation causing a lot of anxiety, fear, nervousness, Please don’t waste your time tackling it alone. Consult with Joseph Lento, he will hear your situation(judgement free) and give you practical advice on methods to remedy the situation. Thank you Mr Lento. You have changed my life for the better.

Hiring Joesph Lento was by far my son’s most important step in his college career. Facing a potentially ruinous false accusation of assault and a subsequent Title IX suit, when we hired him and his team, we knew we were in good hands from the get-go. We had retained someone else for some time, but ma...de the switch straight away. Joe is detail-oriented, punctual, a professional of the highest order bar none, and possess an understanding of these cases and the changing framework of the federal statutes between presidential administrations in-flux. With his guidance and expertise, we were able to achieve a more positive outcome than my family or I had even considered possible until we retained this attorney. The case was closed, and the terms more than agreeable. With cases like these, it is imperative to hire a Title IX specialist, and I can think of none finer. If you are facing a charge of this nature, look no further. He has seen our family through the storm far past the terms of his initial contract and helped us manage all manner of sequela common to such issues. With his help, we've all been able to move on. God Bless You, Joseph Lento.

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...ed to be taken care of. Additionally, he made an existing agreement worse for me by adding on counseling (that I will have to pay out of pocket) to an already unfavorable agreement on my part. I had faith in Mr. Lento up until that point and I feel as though he had let me down.

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!!!
