I have worked with many attorneys over the years in a professional capacity and Joseph Lento stands among the absolute best! My family and I are very thankful that he was able to help with a very challenging Title IX case involving my son. Mr. Lento was exemplary in all respects. It was not easy at... times as our son had to try his best to continue to focus on school and other responsibilities, and we as his parents live on the other side of the country. Being falsely accused of sexual misconduct is obviously a difficult position to be in, but nothing phased Mr. Lento as he was able to plan and manage a strategy to defeat the Title IX charges all the while keeping my son and our family on track and able to rise above the difficult circumstances. In the end, Mr. Lento was able to have my son cleared of any wrongdoing and he helped us all through an incredibly difficult time in our lives. Nora

I have always valued education and I could not have been more proud when my son was accepted to a top college. That is why we were blindsided when he was charged with violating his college's honor code. We did not know who to turn to for the help. We found attorney Joseph Lento and his firm onli...ne and contacted him to discuss the case. Mr. Lento provided a clear picture of the case and what would need to be done to resolve the issue. It was a great relief to have Mr. Lento and his team take charge and guide us through the school disciplinary process. Through Mr. Lento's expertise and insight, we learned that the disciplinary process itself can have a student's reasonable defense to the charges and also the student's rights be disregarded especially if the right person is not looking out for the accused student. We were fortunate to recognize early on that Mr. Lento is the right person, and through all steps in the process, he made certain that our son's case was properly considered and his rights were respected. Mr. Lento's efforts and strategy helped us secure a win as the honor code charges against my son were dismissed.

STOP & HIRE MR. LENTO NOW. STOP DELAYING. STUDENTS, PARENTS ESPECIALLY. I am an engineering student at the largest university in NJ, (I assume it is the largest), and I faced a great deal of hardships through the Title IX process once accused where my clear and convincing evidences as well as witness...es were rejected for no reason. I was innocent! Without delving too much into the case, I will say that we had to file a complaint with the Dept of Ed OCR, and Mr. Lento reviewed about 210 pages of evidence and filed the complaint on my behalf. Protect your investment (college) and hire Mr. Lento now, before any hearing or process takes place, or even as it is taking place, HIRE MR. LENTO NOW. This makes the university understand that you are willing to protect your interests, otherwise you are in the losing battle.  I thought I could take on the school as I did nothing wrong and had SOLID proof. Nope, the university just did not care about what I said, thus having a lawyer makes all the difference. Even the staff appointed to helping you won't help you as Mr. LENTO will, why? Because they aren't attorneys and they will protect their employer (the University). Note, I paid for a consultation with Mr. Lento, his consultation is THE BEST, and if you're paying for it, you know his advice will be unique. Other Lawyers would brag about many awards (not mentioning names), and when I told them that the university rejected my evidence, they wouldn't take my case. Mr. Lento went straight in. And I love the fact that he uses emails promptly, he is fast, quick, and understanding. The reviews say it for themselves. Hire him now parents and students, for Title IX, Discrimination, school needs. You need a skilled attorney! Don't make the mistake I made!

I initially contacted the Lento Law Firm on Christmas Eve a few years ago. I could not believe it, but Joe answered my call! We talked for more than an hour. He helped our family to resolve a complex Title IX issue with a local university that we had no idea how to address. We are extremely grateful ...for his knowledge and expertise in this area, and his professional responsiveness. We can't thank him enough for his help.

I found myself in need of an attorney to assist me in a Title IX matter at my school. After search the internet, I came across Mr. Lento. Within 2 hours of me sending a contact request I received a call. Mr. Lento took the time to explain to me the entire process so that I fully understood wha...t I was facing. He talked about the new rules and how they changed the process and how this could impact my matter. While he could not make me any promises, he made it clear to me that going through the Title IX process on my own could have life altering consequences. He was so right. During the hearing, the accuser tried to introduce things which had nothing to do with the complaint. Mr. Lento was involved and made sure that the rules were followed. I am sure that if I had been alone, this would have gone very bad for me. Of the four charges they brought against me, I was found not responsible for three of them and responsible for the least serious of the charges. I am sure that without Mr. Lento, I would have been found responsible for all of them and would have been expelled. Instead, I was placed on probation, had to write an apology letter, and a short paper. I learned a valuable lesson from the experience and to be more sensitive to the things I say. Without Mr. Lento, I am sure that I would be expelled. This would have been life altering. He explained to me that if I was expelled, I probably would not be able to go to another university. THroughout the process, Mr. Lento was always in communication with me. He put together a hearing plan and he prepared me for being questioned. Any questions that I had, Mr. Lento was prepared to answer and took the time I needed. He helped me manage the stress of the situation. If you have a need for a title IX lawyer, Mr. Lento is the person to call. You will be in the best hands with his support and assistance.
