After paying $5,000 for court representation, Mr. Lento and his firm failed to represent me by missing three court dates. Mr. Lento also included a media article about my ongoing case on his website without asking for my consent. I also sent Mr. Lento and his firm emails asking for updates on the sta...tus of Mr. Terrell Ratliff entering his appearance for my case, and I never received any clear responses. I eventually had a conference call with Mr. Lento and Mr. John E. Groff, who informed me they would draft a statement for the court and also email me the following day with an update. Yet, this never happened, and my follow-up emails were upsettingly ignored. If they could not appear for me in DC Superior Court because they needed a DC lawyer for support, then I wish they would have informed me about this in advance, especially considering that an office address in Washington DC is listed on their website.

As the mother of an Autistic daughter with numerous disabilities (Autism, Asperger's, PTSD, Depression, and Dyscalculia), I can with the greatest confidence and sincerity recommend the Lento law Firm as a professional one that cares about their clients. Mr. Lento is dependable, timely, compassionate..., and trustworthy. In two years, I could not find an attorney in Mississippi that thought our case was worthy of their time, however, the Lento Law Firm, did not hesitate. My daughter's Community College denied her Fine Arts Degree because she can NEVER pass College Algebra. "There is no justification for acts of injustice in education" that destroys a person's life. We are now seeking justice in court.

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.

My fiancé was incarcerated on May 9th in Philadelphia for a violation of probation & an additional case. A month or two later he was moved to Montgomery County. He was in Montgomery county for a month then we decided we aren’t going to get anywhere if we do not get a violation lawyer so I just so hap...pened to google different lawyers I spoke to about 3/4 when I got the call back from Lento I could tell in his voice he was confident with his work and he could make something happen for my fiancé. A month didn’t even pass before Lento started getting us court dates and getting paperwork we needed from place to place. We proceeded with a stipulation process and here we are 3 months after I found Lento my fiancé is sentenced to 11-23 months with good time & a drug program, he will be home by March. Lento has very good timing, once I got my fiancé to just trust Lento’s process (hello, this is what he’s paid to do) everything started falling through week after week. Again, I want to personally thank Lento for his work it truly paid off & my family will be together again soon! We plan on having you on standby! You are very welcoming. Getting a violation/ detainer lawyer was the best thing we did!

I would tell any of my classmates to call Mr. Lento without hesitation if they ever needed guidance or peace of mind during an unfortunate academic situation. Working with Mr. Lento before any proceedings kicked off helped me feel as prepared as possible and less naïve about the whole process. Mr. Le...nto was well versed in graduate school academic misconduct proceedings and his institutional experience was invaluable. He was always prompt and involved and I was so relieved to have someone in my corner. I selected him amongst a few local student defense lawyers due to his quick response and confident engagement. Additionally, his fees were more reasonable, which was just the cherry on top. If I could look you in your eyes and tell you who to select, it would be Mr. Lento.
