The best education attorney in the United States of America!

I truly wish you could listen to me instead of reading my review because I will be short in explaining everything Lee did for our family. I consulted Lee during March of 2019 after our daughter was unfairly kicked out of Catholic school during 7th grade, after having attended the same school since ki...ndergarten. I was in the verge of losing my mind due to the stress and anxiety the Catholic school caused my daughter and family. Incredibly out of seven attorney's Lee was the only person who took our The Diocese, since the other attorneys said and I quote, private schools can do what they want and establish "their own rules" because they do not receive public funding, after Lee looked at private schools by laws, he found they do. Lee spent countless hours, days and months building our case from scratch, he studied the structure of the local Diocese and found a way to file a federal lawsuit against the school and Diocese at the same time. Lee fought for us to the extent of becoming licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania in order to represent us during our hearing in federal court, this is how much he believed in this case. The Unites States Supreme Court robed us of the majority of the fees we were entitled to due to the ruling blocking compensation to families for pain and suffering to victims in Pennsylvania, however Lee helped us recover funds and my family's sense of dignity back. Miraculously the school now has systems in place they never had before to help students after Lee fought against them. I recommend attorney Lee Wentz to any and every family and person who wants the best compassionate care, the best fight and result for your family.

Professional, resourceful, and efficient

I retained Lee to represent my teenage son in filing a law suit against a used car dealership that knowingly sold him a very unsafe vehicle and a meaningless warranty. Lee researched every possible argument that we could have made for our case (many that I hadn't considered, and some I didn't know ex...isted), and in a short time brought it to a successful conclusion. We were able to avoid the courtroom and settle for a sum more significant than we had anticipated. Lee was very responsive to calls and emails, never allowing more than a day to pass before replying (if not immediately available), and throughout the matter he displayed a high degree of competence and professionalism. Lee handled tasks efficiently, billed fairly, and as such was very responsible with our (quite reasonable) retainer. After we received the settlement check, my son and I were very pleased to realize that, even after all fees and costs were paid, we were left with enough money to cover the down payment on another car, and we closed the matter feeling vindicated and successful in our small battle waged against a company that saw fit to take advantage of a young, inexperienced buyer. Thank you, Lee!

Excellent results

I consulted with Mr. Wentz (Lee) regarding my daughter's special education program. Her IEP simply was not adequate enough for her needs and my fear as she was transitioning to middle school was that the schoolwork would just be too overwhelming and the support dwindling. From the first call, L...ee was professional, knowledgeable and honest about his thoughts on the case. Through every step of the way, Lee was honest in his assessments and gave his best advice as to when he thought the best results had been achieved. He was clear about the strategy and provided all the options available in all the different phases of the case. Lee was also very clear about the fees and costs for every step of the case. His fees were very reasonable. He also promptly returned any unused portion of the fees. Lee's dedication to my daughter's case really reflected his passion for what he does. Because of Lee's work, our daughter's first year in middle school was a real success. I enjoyed a great working relationship with a very responsive IEP team. I would highly recommend Lee. I cannot thank him enough for the results that were achieved for my daughter.
