Kind with the client, tough in Court

I retained Mr. Jacek Lentz to represent me in a recent criminal case and it was the best choice I have ever made. He acted quickly and effectively putting extensive time to learn about my case and planning my defense. He maintained daily contact with me and kept me informed on the development of t...he process. Since the initial consultation he spoke realistically about the possible outcome of my case and was clear on what his fees would cover, but grateafully, as a token, his legal advice went above and beyond the terms of the retainer. I had confidence in his skills and the outcome of my case was extremely positive. I highly recommend Mr. Lentz to anyone who needs an honest, kind, and dedicated criminal defense attorney.

strong representative

I discovered Mr. Jacek Lentz by coincidence, which is very fortunate for me. Upon meeting him in person I was pleased to find that he was very down to earth and approachable. After discussing my case with him he was able devise a defense strategy which helped me beat my case. I was very impressed ...with his confidence and strong demeanor in court. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in position needing strong representation.

When in doubt of your future, leave it in Jacek's hands, the miracle attorney

I'm a thirty four year old man who has had many problems in my past. It all started when I was eighteen years old and wound up in prison. I have had many lawyers in my past who made all kinds of promises and never came through.I must say that I have had 7 different lawyers in the past and every one o...f them have failed to do their job. I met yacek about 5yrs. Ago and since then, I've been jail free. From 2 possession for sales of marijuana, a probation violationand most recently(a DUI ) in which I did no jail time. This man has not made me all the promises that other lawyers have. He has proved it to be an honest lawyer. He has a real smooth approach with the district attorney and seems to bring miraculous results. From my past experiences, he has been an honest and proven effective. If your stuck in a bind and are looking to squeeze out of it, then Jaceks your man for the job. I have used Jacek in four different problems, and all I got were miracles! So if in doubt, leave it tohim

"I met Jacek Lentz several years ago while we were colleagues at the Law Offices of William Graysen. Through the years we have stayed in touch and from time to time had worked on matters together. Jacek is a colleague I would contact first if I was ever in trouble with the law. He's tenacious with attention to details and refuses to defend his clients in the easiest or most inexpensive manner. Jacek is willing to lose money in order to effectively assist a client. I highly recommend Jacek."
