Highly recommended

The one thing I can say about Joseph, he is a very knowledgeable attorney. I was nervous about my case and after speaking with him he had me reassured of the situation. He took his time with my case and did his due diligence of research. He explained everything that was going to go on and he was v...ery straightforward with his expectations. He also informed me of all that could happen and what he would do to mitigate the situation. He is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney that I would definitely consult and hire again. I recommend him to anyone dealing with a situation that needs a great attorney.

Great Attorney

I have referred several criminal defense and family law attorneys to Mr. Lento and each have reported back to me about how great of a job he performed. I will continue to send him matters and I have no hesitation in his competency and drive.

easy choice

If you are reading this review I am assuming you are put in a situation where some serious actions are needed to the extent of which a lawyer is required to aid you in your troubles. I will make this short and simple, working with Joseph has been an absolute pleasure and I would not hesitate to hire ...him as my lawyer again. I am an international student that was put in a very difficult situation right after graduating and required some serious help in order to keep my academic future intact. I got into contact with Joseph through the phone, in fact I left him a message on his website and I was almost immediately contacted. He reassured me that the situation I was in, despite being told it was final, could be redeemed and that he would do his absolute best to make sure that I was capable of continuing to pursue my future of being a doctor. I met up with Joseph later on that week and we spoke along with my family who has been stressed out about the news I’m dealing with. After a brief meeting I was sure he was the man for the job. He made it very clear that he was going to work on this matter for as long as it was needed and that he will give it 100% percent of his effort if not more. Suffice to say he delivered everything he promised, it took almost 6 months of constant pressuring and negotiations to finally reach a definitive conclusion and get my degree. There were plenty of times when I felt like just giving in and dealing with the aftermath of my actions later but Joseph constantly told me to remain calm and believe in the process he’s planned out. Anyways going back to the question you might be asking yourself, should I hire him as my lawyer or not? It’s a very easy question for me to answer i would easily say yes, I’ve very rarely met a more persistent/hard working person than he is. If you don’t believe me, at least do yourself a favor and contact him and you’ll find out why I spoke highly of his work/personality.

Honest Lawyer w/ Strong Attention to Detail

I recently have received a letter from my probation office asking me to visit his office for a mandatory meeting. It has been 4 years since I have spoke with anyone and wanted to get my probation dropped. I did some basic searches on the internet and contacted a few lawyers. Most of them did not g...et back to me and one did not read my contact submission properly and asked questions that I clearly stated. Then I found Joseph.... he was great!!! Provided great consulting and honest service. After the first call, I felt that he could be trusted with anything. I would strongly recommend Joseph is you are looking for an attorney that is willing to fight for you. He was quick to respond and was available when needed.

Most highly recommended or at least seek him for an initial consultation

Joseph Lento is an excellent and very sincere criminal attorney. After reviewing my situation with him and explaining my concerns, he was 100% genuine and honest with me about the best courses of action to pursue in defending my case in order to achieve the most favorable outcome for me personally. ... Furthermore it was clear and evident to me throughout his service as my lawyer he works hard and is very attentive to the needs of his clients. Upon contacting his office by phone or email he always returned my calls or replied to my emails within a very reasonable period of time. Additionally I could see he is sharp and extremely knowledgeable about the law. He appears to keep himself updated with any possible future changes to the law and how it may affect or help one’s case. Also worth noting, his legal fees seem very reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend him first to anyone seeking an excellent, genuine, and hardworking criminal attorney. I believe he's most probably the best or at least one of the best attorneys in the area, which also happens to be very affordable.
