I highly recommend Joe Lento for legal services. He cares about his clients, taking steps to quickly resolve their legal issues. As a therapist, I appreciate that he considers their mental health needs and provides referrals that not only help their case but also help them feel better overall.

Joseph Lento is the most experienced and effective attorney in Philadelphia. Using his wealth of knowledge, experience, and understanding of the law and rights of citizens, he was able to effectively defend me in a traffic related incident and get the entire case dismissed to my disbelief. It's important to know your rights, but even more important to have the best representation, and that is the Lento Law Firm.

Mr. Lento pays great attention to detail and genuinely cares about his clients. He will provide you with honest, realistic insight and works extremely diligently to have the outcome be the best possible one. For me personally, I was able to get the result that I wanted, despite this outcome being historically difficult to obtain. For context, I am a medical student who was looking at potentially repeating a year. We were under a time constraint and he was able to promptly deliver within 72 hours, even though this was around New Years. He answered all of my questions and made himself available when I needed. After Mr. Lento had provided his services, he continued to follow up with me to the outcome and the subsequent events that followed the situation. He also was considerate of my financial situation and is worth every penny.

Mr Lento was very professional and easy to talk and was very resourceful in giving me information I didn’t even know in regards to my case. He went beyond in giving me information for that I am grateful..
I would highly recommend him.

"Mr.Lento was an extremely helpful and necessary asset to have alongside my family in regards to the Title IX case we were having to fight. From the start of the case we knew that the allegations against my child were false but there was still a huge mountain to climb having to go through the whole investigation. Mr.Lento helped guide us through the whole process and offered every asset he could that could potentially help. In fact, he helped remove a potentially biased investigator on my child's case who could have been extremely unfair in the final decision in the investigation. My child was found not responsible and Mr. Lento is one of the best attorneys to have if you find yourself within a Title IX investigation. He will do everything in his power to help and I highly recommend him."

Joseph was very attentive from day one. I contacted several Title IX attorneys, many of whom never responded to me or responded to me weeks (and some even months!) after I initially contacted them. Joseph always made himself available and gave me thoughtful advice regarding false allegations I was facing as an alumnus of a university. I would highly recommend Joseph to any student, alumnus, or faculty member who was also falsely accused.

Mr. Lento handled my legal issue without skipping a beat. He did exactly as promised and did it without issue. He maintained personal contact with me throughout the entire process. Having worked with many attorneys and having more than the average number in my own family, I can honestly say he has restored my faith in attorneys.

I've known Joseph Lento for a few years now. The first time I reached out to him was when I was building a home for my mom. I signed a contract which I had not fully understood. He was instrumental in explaining my options. Having things broken down to simple terms made me comfortable with the decision I made. I am a proud owner of a brand new home in an awesome location! More recently, I was taking a loan out from an individual I had not known very long. So, I wrote out a promissory note. I ran it by Joe. Again, his input helped me write a contract that was very solid. Thank you Joe!!!

I was facing a 60 day jail sentence for driving on a suspended DUI license. Obviously I was extremely nervous and scared for the outcome...I did my research online to find an attorney to represent me in this case.....after reading countless reviews I decided to go with Attorney Jospeh Lento, in which I now feel compelled to pay it forward and write my own review....Mr. Lento’s service was nothing short of excellent! He provided me with the knowledge of my charges...giving me straight facts, worst case scenario, best case and a push come to shove lol...I was not the easiest client to work with due to bad past experiences with other attorneys and even still Mr. Lento always stayed professional and courteous...he understood my frustrations and didn’t take it personal...he stayed committed to the goal which was no jail time, no additional
Suspension time...this wasn’t a quick fixit took almost a year of continuous court dates but the wait was definitely worth it...I’m so grateful for his expertise..he had a game plan and he executed precisely...I highly recommend Attorney Joseph Lento...he gets the job done!!

I can’t say enough good things about Joseph. My daughter and I live in Pittsburgh and travel to Philadelphia for her meetings with her probation officer. Right after Thanksgiving, my daughter was detained in Delaware County for a probation violation. Finding a lawyer from 300+ miles away is extremely stressful to say the least. I found Joseph from an article he wrote on probation violations on his website. After reading the article and looking through the rest of the site, I decided to call for a consultation. Best decision I ever made! Joseph called me back immediately, gave me a direct number I could reach him at any time day or night, emailed me or called with updates regularly, and answered all my questions without being condescending or making me feel stupid. He went above and beyond working over the holidays, including going to court on New Year’s Eve, to get my daughter home. If it wasn’t for Joseph, my daughter would probably still be detained.

Joseph helped me with an extremely difficult and stressful situation and was always available to provide help and advice. He responds quickly to any communication, and does a thorough job. I truly believe my situation would have resolved itself in a far more unfortunate matter if not for his help.

Mr Lento is an excellent attorney. His ability to work with others is what impressed me, as he worked through the legal system in two counties;(prosecutors, probation officers, and judges) to get me free.

Highly recommend Joe. I received a traffic citation which resulted in me needing to attend a trial in court. I had no idea what to do and reached out to Joesph to ask if he would be willing to represent me in the hearing. Joe was able to have my citation reduced, and fully explained every step of the process as we went along, so I was in no doubt as to what the next steps would be, and what each stage of the process meant for me and my driving record. If I ever have need for an attorney again, I will look no further.

After a loved one was accused of misconduct at college, and despite never having faced anything similar previously, we knew we had to take the necessary steps in light of the potential consequences. Knowing that we would get the best possible outcome with someone experienced with such matters, we contacted attorney Joseph Lento, who, among other areas of expertise, specializes in defending students in such proceedings. In working with Mr. Lento, it was clear that he has won many battles on behalf of students who are accused, whether wrongfully or not, and it was also clear that he would do everything possible to help our family. In addition to having impressive knowledge of the ins and outs of the college disciplinary system, he addressed our loved one’s matter not only with incomparable dedication and drive, but also compassion; which is just as important when a loved one is faced with such a difficult situation. When all was said and done, Mr. Lento made a very difficult path much easier to bear, and we could not have been more pleased and impressed with the ultimate outcome.

I couldn’t reccomend Joseph enough. I recently received a traffic citation which resulted in me needing to attend a trial in court. I had no idea what to do and reached out to Joesph to ask if he would be willing to represent me in the hearing. I first reached out to Joseph at 10pm on a Sunday and he called back within 10 minutes. From my first communication with Joseph he has been extremely responsive, reassuring and thorough. During the hearing Joesph was able to get my charges dropped very quickly!! I am so grateful that Joseph was my lawyer for the case. Thank you Joseph!!

Right from the start, Mr. Lento made me feel like I was his only client. His communication was top notch, returning phone calls immediately, formulating a plan to move forward, sending daily emails concerning progress and text messages keeping me up to date. Mr. Lento was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He was able to resolve our issue in 2 weeks as opposed to months. I would highly recommend Mr. Lento for your legal needs.

My son Turned Himself In on an outstanding warrant in Philadelphia on a probation violation thinking he would be issued as new court date & Be released. They issued a new court date in 3 months & put him in Jail.
Our family had No idea what was going to happen.
We couldn’t get any information from anyone on what was going on. Nothing for Days!! Until we called Joseph Lento & he had answers within hours. I was amazed at how Joseph handled my case, communicating by phone & email & keeping me informed daily on my Son’s situation.
There were 3 warrants plus the probation violation which could of left him in Jail for months before even going to court.
Joseph somehow got the judge to combine all 4 violations into one & within 2 weeks we went to court & Joseph, with his knowledge of the law, & his hands on approach was able to present a defense case to the judge, & with all the information Joseph had gathered, before he was even finished stating our case the judge said, I Get It , Good work, & released my son That day. I Believe
If it weren’t for Joseph’s Drive & Determination That my Son would still be in Jail Waiting for a court date.
This Guy was in our corner from start to finish.
I Highly Recommend Joseph Lento.

My nephew needed a defense attorney and a week before his hearing we contacted Mr. Lento. This was a great choice because Mr. Lento was very professional, courteous and a compassionate in his approach. He had knowledge of this type of felony case and his strategy was real and effective. He always made himself available for questions by email and phone. Mr. Lento was totally responsible for having the case dismissed before the hearing actually started.

Joseph Lento was a tremendous help to our family when we had to deal with a difficult situation with our son at school.
He helped us a lot to understand and navigate the somewhat murky world of college justice (which is an oxymoron).
He ultimately suggested a pathway that worked very well for us.
My suggest to anyone in the college justice system is to get help as soon as possible as the process is not always in favor of the student and I would fully recommend Joseph Lento.

Took me a while to get to writing this, but I was referred to Mr Lento from a friend of the family AFTER I had already paid for a different lawyer, who not only could NOT help me, but he couldn't even FIND MY CASE (it was very old) lol. I was pretty hopeless regarding the situation by the time I talked to him, but Mr. Lento found and settled my issues way faster than I could have ever expected. He was in constant contact with me, letting me know the status of my case and what could potentially happen, and all that he was doing on my behalf. I couldn't be any happier with my results and how fast he got the job done. I would recommend him to anyone ever asking!! Fantastic lawyer!! Very grateful for his services!

Me and my husband were fighting for custody of his 10 yr old daughter and we were in and out of court over 7 times. Joe was there each time supporting us every step of the way. His communication skills are impeccable. There was never a time he did not respond to a call, text or email. He has a heart of gold and puts himself right into your situation and never stops fighting. In the end we got full custody and Joe is still emailing to see how things are going. He is really the best and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer for any type of case.

Our family hired Joseph Lento to handle a very sensitive and complicated probation violation for our loved one in Montgomery County, PA. We highly recommend that anyone that has a probation violation in Montgomery County, Pa, that you hire Joseph Lento. Our loved one was facing 3 to 7 years, and Joseph was able to get the best possible result. That result was the SIP (State Intermediate Punishment Program). He stayed in constant communication with us, and he always responded to any questions or concerns in a prompt and professional manner. This is a man that cares, and he still remains in contact with us. Thank you Joseph Lento for your hard work and dedication!

Some legal trouble found my young adult son. Mr. Lento returned my initial call the same day and offered some information to get us started. He was specific and realistic with what we could expect for the outcome. He was available to my son through emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings. Although the specific details were really for my son to relay to me, Mr. Lento made sure I got copies of emails pertinent to the progress of the case. My son was comfortable with Mr. Lento's interactions with him.

Working with Joe was incredible. He was attentive to detail and very responsive. His flat pricing structure was great, because it set my mind at ease that legal fees wouldn't pile up. He was knowledgable, patient, and (this was a big one for me) kind—he never made me feel bad about my lack of knowledge on the subject, and he went the extra mile to make me understand the nuts and bolts of my case. If you want to work with someone who very much goes against the stereotype of those who work in the law, work with Joe.

My son was dealing with criminal charges on top of a DUI. We found Joe Lento on the web, and he responded very quickly - on Easter Sunday! Because the cases were intertwined, the court appearances were complicated with two judges, two DAs and multiple court dates. Joe navigated the complexities of the cases and dealt with a senior DA (who wanted extended jail time) and a number of different court offices to ultimately have my son released to a treatment facility. Treatment is what he really needed, and we all believe it was the best possible outcome. My family is thankful that Joe took the case and stuck with it, overcoming a number of legal and administrative obstacles thrown in the way.

I am extremely thankful I asked for attorney Joseph Lento's help because he proved that he is the best at what he does. Mr. Lento helped my son win a Title IX case that he ultimately pursued with the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights on my son's behalf. Mr. Lento's expertise and professionalism make it clear why students and families from across the country seek his help in fighting injustice that is unfortunately all too common an occurrence at the college level. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in Title IX and student rights law and he can right a wrong - He certainly did for my family. Title IX and sexual misconduct cases are not to be taken lightly, and thankfully, Mr. Lento was able to get my son justice.

I am glad to write this stellar review for Joseph (Joe) Lento as his performance during my recent ordeal was exactly what we needed. The back story is not as important as the outcome-a success by most any measure. First, I was so well prepared for the Title IX investigative interview, with all of the questions asked by HR already having been presented by Joe as possible questions. Also, his calm and assertive manner helped me stay centered and non-defensive during the process of investigation, in reviewing correspondence, and during the absurdly drawn out wait period.
This was a harrowing experience, but my husband and I are keenly aware how much having Joseph Lento as representation facilitated this treacherous and unpleasant chapter. He is top notch on responsiveness, professionalism, candor and acumen. I recommend him without reservation!

Joe was extremely helpful when I called him (found his firm based on a google search). He didn’t hesitate to offer immediate advice about what the possible issues might be & guides me about pros and cons of using an attorney. Although we didn’t need in the end to hire him, he gave me the proper and honest input for me to make that decision, and for that I am very grateful. Also he got back to me immediately - not always the case with other attorneys I’ve worked with in the past.

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to endorse attorney Joseph Lento. I am particularly grateful to Joe for his help and insight when I called upon him. Joe is a great communicator with a very natural speaking style and has the ability to zoom right in on the issue. He further has distinguished himself as a writer, and I learned so much about protection from abuse matters through reading his blog. Joe writes in clear and understandable English, not legalize that can sometimes be difficult for many to understand, and with a depth of knowledge that he generously shares with all. Joe is the kind of attorney that combines the best of knowledge and compassion. I am happy to call Joe my colleague in the field.

Hiring a criminal attorney shouldn't have to be hard but it is. There are attorneys who want you to sell your home just to pay their astronomical fees and you and your loved ones are left in worse condition than they found you. There are attorneys who don't care and aren't prepared to fight and basically don't want to...why? You've already paid them! Mr. Lento answered every phone call and/or text (no matter what time it was). He was focused on the details of the case (which simply means he listens.) He will fight for you, even when you feel like you have no more fight left to get you and/or your loved one the best possible outcome. He is very affordable. I hadn't seen my son smile in a while. He was facing some very serious charges. But today, we smiled. Mr. Lento, you did something else today that I will always remember and cherish as a parent. After my son's charges were dismissed, you didn't leave him with a handshake and wish him well. You took the time to speak to this young man on a personal basis. You gave him hope and that is something that our money didn't buy. I will always be grateful. I can only pray that your business will remain blessed. Thank you.

Mr. Lento asked me about my informations and let me completed a few forms. I was facing possibly 6-month license suspension and over $300 fines. As the result, I walked out from the courtroom with only $182 fine and without any points. Mr. Lento, Thank you very much! Highly recommended!

I really respect and appreciate the work Mr Lento did for my sister. My sister found herself in problems and we reached out to him. Within minutes he returned the call and started taking the necessary steps to obtain the best possible outcome for her. He was very professional, realistic in his approach and kept her well up-to-date with all actions taken. It was a very rough patch for my sister but it could have been worst had it not been for Mr Lento’s reassuring presence and his dictation to his work. Because of him, she can now put this chapter behind her. We will forever be thankful to him. He is an excellent attorney and we would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs excellent representation.
Thank you very much Mr Lento!!. We appreciate you!!!

I can not stress enough how important legal representation is when facing a potentially life changing charge. I have worked with other attorneys prior to Mr. Lento, and I can say Mr. Lento is the best of the best. I was facing a state minimum charge on a second DUI case of 90 days in jail. Typically these things are non-negotiable, however, Mr. Lento went above and beyond collecting proper documentation necessary to present a case for me. Due to circumstances, he was able to negotiate a plea bargain with the ADO that prevented jail time. Not only this, but minimizes all legal repercussions substantially. Overall this saved me unimaginable amounts of fees/cost and enabled me to continue down the path I’ve made in life. I am indebted to this man for the time and effort he took to help me continue a sustainable, happy, and healthy life. Thank you again Mr. Lento, you are the best of the best! I hope you go far in life.

Attorney Lento is an excellent attorney. Me and my friend were facing a total of 1 year license suspension and 6 points to our license. When I initially spoke to attorney Lento, he explained everything to me realistically, which I respect because every other attorney gave me a runaround. He explained that it’s no way we can walk into the situation and expect the best result possible , because the charges were actually pretty serious, it was a result of 3 misdemeanors. Thanks to him, we walked out with all 3 Charges dropped which is the last thing we expected, we couldn’t be anymore more excited and relieved considering it was our only offense.

Besides being a good lawyer, he’s someone who understands and he can work with you. Gathering the payment wasn’t easy , but he made it easy, the most I can say is ask & he will do the very best he can to help through the situation. He’s very busy with court , but he returns 100% of missed calls and missed texts, he is very prompt and punctual. All around a great, responsive, reliable & understanding attorney. I would recommend!!!!!!!

My son encountered a conduct violation problem at college. We are new to the school and live several hours away. After consulting with Joseph Lento, my son was able to enter the disciplinary conference with confidence, knowing his rights and options. He was able to resolve everything favorably and move on. Thanks to his quick response and attention, a potentially overwhelming process was resolved within a few hours. Well worth the investment, I highly recommend.

Mr Lento is the type of attorney that will make you feel like his only client. We never waited more than 15mins for a call back no matter the time. He took his time explaining all the steps needed to resolve our issue. He explained all the legal terms, the pros and cons and answered every question we had. After our issue was resolved, he still followed up to make sure everything was taken care of. He really took the stress away from our situation and made sure were well taken care of.

Consulted this attorney about a problem in Pennsylvania courts. I chose him partially because of the good reviews I found online. He was very prompt in returning my call. When we spoke he spent quite some time reviewing my case and offering his advice. He was very easy to talk with and made clear the issues involved. I will use him in the future. I was very pleased with my discussion with him.

This attorney is the best I've ever seen! Definitely the best in Philly ! If you have charges and you are fighting he is the man. You want someone who is going to explain and be patient with you and your family. My family members are hard working and money is often tight, but he is worth the sacrifice. Lento stays in communication and makes you feel like a CEO. The personal attention he gives is second to none. I am extremely happy with his firm.

My college student was accused of a Title IX offense. A Title IX meeting was scheduled for 10:00 AM and my child did not know what to expect. I left a message for Mr Lento at 9:00 that morning and was contacted within 30 minutes by email and phone to discuss situation. Mr Lento advised me my child should not be alone in the meeting. I immediately called my child and made sure I was included in the meeting via conference call. I retained Mr Lento and he went right to work for my child and family. With his help, the situation was resolved in two days. We believe it was a positive outcome for our child. Mr Lento's quick response, counsel and consistent contact over the two days provided the necessary support needed for the situation. Thank you again Mr Lento for your help.

I needed a lawyer when I received a non-traffic citation which was dismissed by the court but would stay on my record forever unless I had it expunged by an attorney. It was a minor offense but I was photographed, fingerprinted and put into the local police system which basically looked like I had an arrest record.
I didn't know any lawyers so I googled "attorneys in my area/expungement" and Mr. Lento came up at the top of my search.
I called Mr. Lento and left him a lengthy voicemail and he got back to me the following morning. He was amazing- he walked me through exactly what would have to be done on his end to file for an expungement with the courts and was very upfront about the costs for everything. He checked in with me via email with any updates and filed the paperwork so fast that my expungement was granted a lot faster than the normal turnaround time!
I'm grateful for all his help and would recommend him highly.
Now I am confident to apply for a new job without worrying about a future employer seeing something on my record when they run a a background check.

I’ve known Mr. Lento for several years, through cases we have worked on together in a professional capacity. I can speak first hand to his professionalism, integrity, and care his gives to his clients, which is remarkable. Mr. Lento is a brilliant strategist; yet, brings a human touch to the field of law. I know his clients get the full extent of his attention 100% of the time. Mr. lento is a professional I value working with and referring to my clients or those who may benefit from his expertise. It’s a pleasure working Mr. Lento.

If you’re looking for the best then I ask you to you look no further. Our story is like many others who have found themselves facing a Title IX investigation for false allegations. The difference for our family is that we found the Lento Law firm! We searched for other lawyers and I found Mr. Lento’s experience and down to earth style to be just what our family needed. He answered all of our calls immediately and with true dedication, integrity and passion spent countless hours literally guiding us through to victory. Although we are all the way across the Pacific and he is on the East Coast, he made the time to make the calls send the emails and even offered to fly to be there to represent our son all the way across the country! His dedication to personal service and professional competency is like no other. He is straightforward, honest and a tactician. His fees are affordable and he takes the case all the way through and then some! Without his help I’m not sure that we would have received the same outcome. Thank you, Mr. Lento for your incredible service, compassion and dedication! Our family appreciates your old fashioned work ethic and mission to represent the truth.

Attorney Joseph D. Lento helped someone close to me with a New Jersey Superior Court criminal case which would have been devastating for him and his family if not resolved as it was through Mr. Lento's representation. When we first contacted Mr. Lento, he clearly explained our options, the prospect of success with each option, and he never gave us false hope. It took a calculated strategy and months of hard work, but Mr. Lento never wavered, and through his efforts, Mr. Lento was able to get all of the charges dismissed. We are grateful.

Years of hard work had allowed my good friend to be accepted into a top medical school. With a bright future ahead, and due to unfortunate circumstances, he was dismissed from his medical school due to failings on the school's part that were not taken seriously by the school until attorney Joseph Lento interceded on his behalf. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have had Mr. Lento involved in the process from the start of the concerns, but we had never been down such a path before and expected a more just process from the school. Through extensive negotiations with the school in addition to some necessary pressure, Mr. Lento was able to get the school to relent on its former position and allowed my friend to return to school. He would not be the success he is today were it not for the dedication and expertise of Mr. Lento. My friend and his family owes a tremendous debt to Mr. Lento and will forever be grateful.

I got into a jam with some traffic violations in Philadelphia. I found Joe after a google search and thank goodness I did. Joe proved himself to be professional, reasonable and most importantly kept me informed during every step of the process. Ultimately, both violations were dropped with a small fine. Using Joe was a great decision. I highly recommend Joe.

My son got into a little bit of legal trouble about a year ago. With the help of the Lento Law Firm, his charges have been expunged and once again has a clean record. The process was very easy on our end. We just supplied Mr Lento with some information that he needed and he handled all of the paperwork and communications with the court. Would definitely recommend his council.

Mr. Lento helped me through the hardest time of my life. I was arrested for aggravated assault, and he successfully worked to get the felony charge dropped and eventually get me accepted into ARD. While the process was not always clear to me, Mr. Lento was consistently quick to respond to my questions, genuinely concerned for my welfare, and he clearly has experience in how to navigate the Philadelphia court system. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing charges they don’t know how to deal with alone.

If you’re in need of an excellent criminal defense attorney, I definitely would recommend Mr. Lento’s law firm. My son got into some minor trouble, and never having been through this, we searched around and were recommended to use Mr. Lento and was very pleased with how he handled everything. He was in constant contact with us and talked us through everything as we needed, and always kept us informed. He drove an hour and a half to fight on my sons behalf. Thanks to Mr. Lento my son still has a clean record. If you need a great attorney, look no further then Lento Law Firm.

Mr. Lento did his absolute best for my case. He helped me through very difficult time of my life. Mr. Lento was responding to all my messages so fast and would always keep me updated. All I had to do is to hire him and my troubles went away. Mr. Lento's effort on every field lead no where but to the most desirable outcome of my case. I would like to thank him this way for everything he did for me.

I'm located in NC and found Mr. Lento by a simple google search. I could've used a local attorney but most of them were not responsive and/or could not prioritize my case.

I was wrongly accused for academic misconduct and needed legal support to help protect my biggest asset (My education). Based on his reviews I decided to move forward and give him a call. I called on a Sunday afternoon. He immediately returned my phone call to discuss my situation. I decided to move forward after doing my own due diligence in researching his background as an attorney, on all review platforms, and more.

Mr. Lento definitely lived up to the hype. He was well researched, experienced, and was vested into my case. Mr. Lento coached me and I went into my meeting with so much more confidence than I would have otherwise by myself. I am happy to say I have been exonerated and can move forward!

For anyone else going through a similar situation and was wrongly accused for academic dishonesty I wouldn't wait to hire an attorney. I will definitely consider using Mr. Lento in the future and will also recommend to others.
