When the odds are against you, Joseph Lento has your back!

I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am to have found Attorney Joseph Lento! I had a pretty sticky unique situation on my hands involving an expungement, and spent many hours on the phone calling around to different attorneys in the area to explain it. Most of them simply claimed that ...an expungement under my circumstances was near impossible, seemed extremely uninterested in helping, and then would offer to still try anyway for their fee. The overall vibe was dreary and bothered as if I should not even waste my time or money on such a cause. I was pretty discouraged by the time I ended up on the phone with Attorney Lento. That is until after we spoke for over an hour and together brainstormed my case. Attorney Lento was extremely understanding, knowledgeable, and willing to do anything within his power to help ensure that the result of my situation was favorable. I felt that he truly cared and had my best interest in mind throughout the entire process from start to finish. Knowing that under my unique circumstances the probability for a successful expungement was relatively low, I still made the choice to invest and trust in Attorney Lento because the matter was of utmost importance to me and I felt that he genuinely cared. Well, that decision turned out to be a fantastic one! My expungement was granted successfully despite the odds and with zero hassle! If you're in a difficult situation of any kind and needing legal defense, I would highly encourage you to call and speak with Attorney Joseph Lento. Thank you Joseph!!!

Grateful for Mr. Lento. HIGHLY recommend!!

We contacted Mr. Lento about a family situation, and he practically became a part of our family. He got back to us immediately. Mr. Lento stayed in touch with us through every step of a very difficult process. Best defense attorney ever. I am still crying as I write this, because he defended a family... member during an incredibly stressful time. I am an attorney myself. I have never seen a lawyer be such an advocate, and a convincing one, in my life. He never offered us false hope. I respected that. We had a clear understanding of what might happen, because he had researched it, and had familiarity with it. He showed up to every single event along the way. This event is still kind of recent, so let me just say that Mr. Lento stepped into the life of my family at a desperately low point, and was an awesome defense attorney. I would recommend him to anyone.

Joe is the best!

I never finished my ARD conditions after being convicted of a DUI in Philadelphia almost 7 years ago. I was worried I would be in a lot of trouble and finally wanted this resolved, so, I called Joe. He assured me he would work his hardest to get me back into the program and help me get back on tr...ack. Joe was true to his word! His hard work and dedication on my case gave me a second chance to finish my ARD conditions! My family and I are ecstatic with the outcome and glad we don't have this cloud looming over our heads. If you want the best possible outcome, hire Joseph Lento!

Great Attorney!

As much as I would prefer to no longer reflect on a dark chapter in my family's life that is now thankfully behind us, the dark chapter itself would not have ended in the successful manner that it did without Joseph Lento's tireless efforts on behalf of my son and family. Why did my son find himse...lf in the position that he did? Because of one individuals's inexcusable maliciousness, and as I was to soon learn, because of how allegations of sexual assault are viewed today on college campuses. My son had worked tremendously hard to earn acceptance into a top-ranked school, and he was continuing on the path he had set out for himself years earlier. With graduation in sight, and expected attendance at a top-ranked graduate program as his next step in life, my son had the terrible misfortune to be accused of a sexual offense by a former girlfriend, another student who had attended the same school. As one can imagine, with such an allegation came a tremendous burden which words cannot describe. Having only dealt with attorneys in my business affairs, I had no familiarity with what was to come. I only learned how much was at stake after my son was charged by his school. I have a college-age daughter, so I understand the seriousness of what young women face in life, albeit from a father's perspective. No one of course, male or female, should have to be subjected to unwelcome sexual advances or conduct. That being said, nor should anyone be falsely accused of wrongdoing as was the case with my son. Upon recognizing the implications of what was taking place at my son's school, I was very fortunate to have been referred to Mr. Lento by a colleague whose family he had helped in a different capacity, but also in a time of need. After speaking with Mr. Lento, I knew he was the person to help us through this trouble. Mr. Lento took the time to listen, to offer his honest assessment of my son's situation, and as importantly, to give insight about how the matter must be handled. My concerns by no means disappeared after speaking with Mr. Lento, but I felt a sense of relief knowing that he would do everything possible to defend my son against these baseless allegations; allegations motivated in part by a failed teenage relationship. Ultimately, Mr. Lento was with my son and family every step of the way in dealing with school officials and law enforcement, and dedicating himself to mounting a defense that allowed my son to be vindicated, and to be able to continue with his strides in life. My son again has the rest of his life in front of him, and were it not for Mr. Lento's dedication to the case, all of my son's and family's hard work over the years would have been in vain. Mr. Lento, words cannot express how forever grateful we are for you. Thank you.

A1 Attorney!

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Lento as an attorney to be represented by! I had hired him with only less than a month before my court date, which was for a violation of parole. I was facing 6 months of jail time and because of him, I was able to walk out of court facing no time. He is very trust worthy..., and his advice is A1!
