Sexual Misconduct Case Resolved Thanks to Mr. Lento

After a family member was accused of sexual misconduct and consequently charged with Title IX offenses by the college, we made the mistake of believing the process at the college would be fair and that the truth would come out in the end.  Having never been through such an ordeal before, it is clear in hindsight that we were naive.  After receiving the outcome, we then recognized that professional help was needed.  Our concern at this point was that it would be too little, too late.  With the person’s future on the line, we contacted attorney Joseph Lento and he immediately went to work trying to make a bad situation better.  It was far from easy, but Mr. Lento was able to get the matter completely rectified in our favor.  My only regret is not calling Mr. Lento when we first learned of the problem.  I highly recommend Mr. Lento to anyone who is facing a difficult situation – He made a hopeless situation completely better for my family.  He brings passion to what he does and my family is extremely grateful.  Thank you, Mr. Lento.

Thank You for Fighting for a Favorable Outcome

Mr. Lento,

I would like to express my sincerest appreciation for all of your work and effort with my case throughout these several months. Thank you very much for guiding my family and I throughout this process and fighting for this favorable outcome. 

I would like to also thank you for the comprehensive response to the appeal; the appeal was a significant worry for me and so I am very appreciative of your thorough rebuttals and ultimately resolving this case in my favor.

I Can’t Express How Grateful I am for Your Help – Title IX Case Dismissed Before Hearing

I can’t express how grateful I am for your help. I knew in my heart of hearts that [my son] was innocent of these charges. I guess the truth just isn’t enough sometimes, you need facts and know how to present them.

Funny thing, [my son] said the main thing he learned from all this was that when in a bad spot, get a lawyer!
 
Thank you again

My First Choice

I have known Joe for 15 years and he is a very dedicated, hard working man. I am very impressed with his professional demeanor and his results. He is my first choice if ever in need of legal counsel.

Victor V.

Unbelievably Committed

I left a message on Mr. Lento’s answering service at around 6 AM. By 8 AM, he not only called me back, but was already looking into my [daughter’s Title IX] case. From the moment, I spoke to Joe, his focus was on me and my family. Because of Joe Lento’s tireless commitment to our family, this matter was resolved, and resolved with the best possible outcome. I would recommend Joe to anyone. Five minutes on the phone with him, and you know you have a fighter in your corner. Thank you, Joe!

Victor G.

Customer Satisfaction is # 1

Joe is not the typical stuffy attorney who will just go through the motions until he gets paid. He doesn’t come from a privileged background, and, as a result, knows how to work extremely hard. Joe knows comfort breeds complacency. In my experiences with Joe, he has made himself available whenever I needed him and gone the extra mile to make sure I’m satisfied with his services. He will do whatever he possibly can to get you the best results because he is results driven and his interests are aligned with yours. Joe is a genuine guy – a trait too uncommon these days. As he did for me, I’m sure Joe will go the extra mile for anyone else as well.

Efficient, Compassionate, and Trustworthy

Mr. Lento is efficient, compassionate, and trustworthy. His prompt, thorough responses to my questions helped to ease my anxiety throughout an extremely stressful situation. I highly recommend his services.

Tracy Gruver

Pressed for Time

I was in a tough spot, with no time and no one to consult with. I found Mr.Lento’s name and emailed him. It was after work hours, but I was happily surprised, when less than a half hour later, Mr. Lento called me. He was very polite, listened to my situation and requested any paperwork I might have. I sent him my information, he again got right back to me, and said we would talk in the morning. We had other conversations, but knew his direct involvement would be limited, due to fact the issue was an on campus incident. He offered valued information for my situation, I felt he helped me much as he could, and would’ve been the right man for the job, if we were allowed to have legal representation at the school. I appreciated his time and eagerness to help me. He said I was welcome to call him of I needed any further assistance. Overall, I was very grateful and impressed by Mr.Lento.

The Superman of Lawyers

Academic Misconduct – Responsive & Committed

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.

Theresa A.

The Very Best!

If you need help with any of the services that he provides, do yourself a favor and reach out to the Mr. Lento and his firm. I know that it is sometimes difficult to put your trust in a third party, but there are not many attorneys that have the combination of knowledge, guidance, and superb customer service. Most importantly, Mr. Lento and his firm performs its duties with integrity while helping you with your dilemma.

For instance, we have a family member that had a crisis with an institution of higher education. The institution’s actions jeopardized the trajectory of this family member (adverse consequences). However, the Mr. Lento and his firm immediately mended the situation and thus, this family member now has opportunities that would not be available without his assistance.

Mr. Lento, thank you so much for being an asset and making a true difference in the lives of those that reach out to you.

The Gonzalez Family

Hard Working and Goes Above and Beyond

We found Mr. Lento online and needed assistance with a student [Title IX] issue. We had very little time to respond and had no idea how to handle things since we are not from the area. Mr. Lento responded to our message immediately, was compassionate, and willing to assist. He went above and beyond what the engagement letter detailed and stayed with us throughout the process even checking in after decisions were made. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard working attorney who cares about his clients.

Terri C.

Dedication

The first time I spoke to Mr. Joseph Lento I knew in my gut he was the best attorney to represent my son in an horrible unfortunate, untrue legal matter. I allowed those in my family that I believed to have better knowledge then I of many attorneys associated with juvenile justice. Well, I hired another attorney and from day one he never did anything remotely close to what Joe said he could or would do. Needless to say I then followed my first mind and hired Joe. Joe not only worked diligently on the case for my son and I but he always called to check on our emotional and mental well being throughout this horrific ordeal. Joe’s continuous effort to secure the best possible outcome for my son will always be appreciated.

The Nightmare Called Title IX

Title IX – Highly Recommend!!

We found ourselves in a last minute situation with our son regarding a claim by another student. As I browsed the web I found Mr. Lento’s site. After a review with my wife we decided that this was the firm we were looking for. After he and I had a short conversation, he set up a review call with myself and my son. Shortly thereafter they pledged to put together a plan to postpone the hearing, have their representation allowed during the hearing and mitigate the board’s original decision. They did just that. We are very pleased with hiring Mr. Lento’s firm. Highly recommend!!

You will always be recommended by my son and I!!!!

Joseph Lento Made a Hard Time Easier

Mr. Lento, thank you for making a hard time easier.

Seth Fields and Carol Robbins

Title IX Charges Dismissed

A close family member had worked hard to get accepted into a top school. Close to graduation and with next steps in life set, we were beyond belief when the school sent notification that a Title IX investigation would be taking place. We hoped that the school would be fair in its approach towards addressing and resolving the issue, but this was not something to leave to chance. Understanding that professional assistance was the only way to maximize the likelihood of success, we sought Mr. Lento’s help. Words do not do justice to what Mr. Lento brings to the table, from mounting a defense to conducting necessary interactions with the school to being a shoulder to lean on, and Mr. Lento exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, Mr. Lento did everything possible to make certain that the process was fair and that our interests were protected. Additionally, Mr. Lento’s expertise and efforts are what allowed us to win the case and Mr. Lento’s compassion are what made a difficult time in life easier to bear.

Saved My Medical Career!

I called the LLF National Law Firm over winter break about an issue I was facing at an academic institution. Attorney Joseph D. Lento personally returned my call the same day and assured me that he could help. His entire team is extremely dedicated, professional and confident. Everyone is highly educated and trained in supporting their clients. In the end I won my appeal and I couldn’t be more grateful. Go with LLF National!!!

10/10 Would Recommend for Student Defense

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. Lento 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 among 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.

Cleared of False Title IX Charges – Absolutely Incredible

When my son (who’s standing here with me while I’m typing up this review just to make sure his appreciation of Mr. Lento comes through in these words) and I got thrown without warning into the confusing waters of trying to navigate a false Title IX accusation for the first time, we honestly felt blind throughout most of the process. His university’s vague, terse, and confusing communication regarding the processes involved in a Title IX hearing was far from sufficient, and being new to these sorts of situations made us very worried (to say the least), especially when considering just how serious the consequences of these cases can be. Although he didn’t do what he was accused of, due to our lack of knowledge of how these sorts of situations are handled, it felt at times like we were grasping at anything and everything we could to prove his innocence instead of having a coherent plan.

When we requested Mr. Lento’s services about halfway through the process, all those fears were soon allayed (at least, as much as they could have been). The consistent sense of clarity and direction inherent in both Mr. Lento’s communication and the general way he handled the process was reassuring in that it helped us feel grounded for the first time in 4 months since the process began. For the first time, we felt a sense of hope and a modicum of confidence in the midst of everything that was happening, and that was almost entirely the result of Mr. Lento’s words and actions.

When it came to the hearing itself, Mr. Lento was once again exemplary in his services. He went the extra distance for us by being present via video conference throughout the trial, gave us incredibly well-written statements and detailed questions to use in the trial, and offered valuable advice and support the whole time. We honestly underestimated the value of having him available via video conference during the proceedings – having him there during the hearing itself proved incredibly valuable and gave my son and me more comfort and ease than we could have possibly hoped for. In essence, everything Mr. Lento did for us, both before and during the trial, went above and beyond our hopes and expectations of a Title IX attorney, and we would duly and eagerly recommend him for anyone else finding themselves in a similarly difficult situation.

(P.S. after 5 months of ire, my son won an innocent verdict in his trial, and this right outcome have been an extremely unlikely one if not for Mr. Lento’s services!)

Best Attorney for Title IX Cases

Mr. Lento was a godsend. He was the first hit in my search for more information about Title IX and dealing with false accusations. I had no time for due diligence in researching attorneys to handle our case. He was impressively attentive to our case, communicating with us regularly, explaining things fully and patiently, and returning calls immediately. I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Lento’s work ethic, expertise and professionalism. Quite simply, he knows what he’s doing, and he does it supremely well. It’s terrifying to learn someone in your family has been falsely accused. Get help as soon as possible by contacting Mr. Lento. You will have peace of mind that you chose the right attorney to navigate an unjust process.

Title IX, Discrimination, School Needs – Hire Him Now

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 witnesses 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!

Mr. Lento Works Hard and is Very Attentive to the Needs of His Clients

Joseph Lento is an excellent and very sincere attorney.  After reviewing my situation with him and explaining my concerns, he was 100% genuine and honest with me about the best courses of action to pursue in defending my case in order to achieve the most favorable outcome for me personally.  Furthermore it was clear and evident to me throughout his service as my lawyer he works hard and is very attentive to the needs of his clients.  Upon contacting his office by phone or email he always returned my calls or replied to my emails within a very reasonable period of time.  Additionally I could see he is sharp and extremely knowledgeable about the law.  He appears to keep himself updated with any possible future changes to the law and how it may affect or help one’s case.  Also worth noting, his legal fees seem very reasonable and fair.  I would highly recommend him first to anyone seeking an excellent, genuine, and hardworking criminal attorney.  I believe he’s most probably the best or at least one of the best attorneys in the area, which also happens to be very affordable.

Sensitive Issue that Joseph Lento Resolved

I was referred to Mr. Joseph Lento by a friend for a sensitive issue that needed to be addressed. I felt at the time, if I ignored the problem it would go away, but I needed help. I spoke with Joe to see what he thought about my situation. He explained my options and set a possible solution. I felt that Joe could help me and I agreed to his course of action. I was very surprised with the interest and care that was shown on my case by Joe. Thanks to Joe, my case was resolved and I can move on with my life. I can only say that he cared about my problem and handled my family and I with respect. I will always refer Mr. Lento to my family and friends.

Mr. Lento Fought False Title IX Charges on Behalf of Our Son and Won

As the parents of a young man at college, we of course had the expected concerns with our son being away from home for the first time, especially with him being on the other side of the country. He had worked his entire to reach this point, having excelled both academically and also as an athlete, and he would be playing a Division I sport at a top academic school in country. We could not be more proud as parents. Part of life is learning through experience for better or worse, but we spoke with our son before he left for school, letting him that he may find himself in social situations for the first time that can led potential issues. We tried to focus on the positives of a young man being away at college, and we were of course incredibly upset when we learned that our son was being investigated for a Title IX complaint made by an ex-girlfriend which was all the more upsetting because our son is a good person. He was raised to be a gentleman and we knew the claims made against him were false. Our son had worked his entire life to get to where he was and we were not going to let false allegations upend his life. We learned of Mr. Lento’s success with defending against Title IX charges, and we asked him to help our son. Having to endure the school’s Title IX process and the potential issues that can arise along the way is not easy, but Mr. Lento came through with flying colors in all respects. He explained what would need to take place every step of the way, he fought tooth and nail for our son, and he made a difficult time in our family’s life bearable as we knew he was there for us and doing everything he could to save a young man’s future. In the end, Mr. Lento demonstrated why he is the best at what he does. He literally saved a young man’s life. Thank you, Mr. Lento – We are forever grateful for you.

All Around Amazing

Mr. Lento is absolutely amazing, he had helped me overcome a sticky situation with my school and throughout the entire thing he was calm and collected.

He showed great character and heart, as he truly cares about his client.

The Experience and Expertise Mr. Lento Showed Was Beyond Reproach

The experience and expertise Mr. Lento showed was beyond reproach. He explained everything that was going to happen and he gave me insight into my situation. He understands the law and all that pertains to his field. I was very nervous and had many questions before speaking with him, but by the end of my consultation I was reassured of my situation. Also, after the consultation I retained him which was the best thing I could have done in my situation. My situation was a harrowing experience but with Mr. Lento there I felt very at ease because I knew what was going to happen.

College Misconduct Charges Resolved

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.

Mark L.

Mr. Lento Worked Extremely Hard for My Son

Peace of Mind – Academic Dishonesty Case Successfully Resolved

When we saw the email that our son was charged with academic dishonesty, we panicked. The possible punishments included everything from a zero on the final to expulsion including a special dishonesty/failing grade for the course which would be a permanent mark on his transcript. We called Joe Lento, and we immediately received peace of mind. He said since it was a first offense, Joe could probably could get the lightest punishment for our son. Joe was so attentive throughout the process, and understood exactly how to handle each decision point. He also “got in front” of the situation by quickly crafting a response to the university, and proposing a nearby date for the meeting. Because of Joe’s prompting, it only took a few days from that first email to the ultimate resolution. My husband and I were barely holding it together so thank goodness it was quick! Joe’s associate Keith helped prepare our son for the meeting, and he got the minimum punishment. It was well worth the money, we couldn’t possibly have gotten a better outcome. Our son learned a valuable lesson, but thanks to Keith and Joe, it didn’t derail his education or his future employability. If your child needs help with a school situation, I totally recommend Joe, and his associate Keith. You’ll finally get peace of mind.

He Gets the Job Done!

He got me the results I asked for and was available anytime I needed him. Thank you Mr. Lento.

Highly Recommend for Title IX!

Attorney Lento was genuinely passionate about finding the absolute best outcome for the Title IX case I was involved in. He is very knowledgeable about about the process and willingly answered any and every question I had during his time working on the case with me. Most importantly he was able to help me through a difficult time in my life and I am happy to say that everything turned out well. I highly recommend Mr. Lento.

Mandy R.

Outstanding Services

After a few months of my search for a lawyer, I sent Mr. Lento a brief message through his website and he contacted me within 10 minutes to schedule an appointment. He was respectful, compassionate and very understanding of my situation. However, the most important thing that made me felt at ease was that he never made me felt rushed through the entire meeting. After further discussions, Mr. Lento gave me an estimate that the whole process would take at least 4-6 months. To my surprise, after less than 2 months I received the good news from him stating that my case was granted and my documents will be forward to me once he receive it. Not only does he work fast, Mr. Lento replies to all my e-mails promptly every single time. I highly recommend him.

Nightmare to Great Outcome

As a parent, you are excited to send off your child to college as they continue to becoming adults. Then you get a call from your child that they have a “Hearing” at their University with four days to prepare with serious consequences. After trying to contain your emotions, my wife an I reached out to Joseph Lento. We scheduled a consultation and Joseph clearly presented a plan to defend our child. He worked with us collectively but more importantly with our daughter on how to frame her defense. He developed a clear plan for her and they prepared for the hearing. The hearing went as good as could be expected under the circumstances but the preparation along with the plan allowed our daughter to clearly deliver her side of the story. She was able to avoid serious penalties and now will just have a letter to write to the hearing panel.

The outcome would not have been as good without the tireless effort by Joseph especially over a weekend. He was able to help us take the emotions out of the process and be fully prepared. I would highly recommend any parent that needs to help their child with a University Hearing to hire Joseph. It will be the best move you can make if you find yourself in this position with your college age child.

Thank You

Thank you for your time and consideration for our son, Paul.  I appreciate your correspondence with us during these trying times.

Hire Mr. Lento ASAP

Mr. Lento was our advisor in a title ix case. We were defending against numerous false allegations. Because of Mr. Lento’s guidance, we were successful in debunking all allegations.

Mr. Lento helped us to prepare and present our facts clearly to the investigator. During the meetings, Mr. Lento never hesitated to step in, to draw the focus to the facts being presented. Mr. Lento is a principled representative and his only focus is justice for his client. His extremely quick response times also gave comfort and confidence in a time of extreme uncertainty. We highly recommend him.

Hiring Joseph Lento Was by Far My Son’s Most Important Step in His College Career

Hiring Joseph 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 made 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.

Title IX Violation Resolved in Our Son’s Favor

Our son was accused of a Title IX violation in his freshman year of college. Though it seemed like the actual accusation was minor, we were concerned about possible repercussions and outcomes. We found Mr. Lento’s number online, left a message for him in the evening and he called back that same evening. He was completely familiar with cases like our son’s and took time to hear the details, give us an overview of the likely procedures and discuss possible outcomes with clarity and forthrightness. He covered a lot of details that we hadn’t thought of pertaining to the accuser, the accusation, the college, the Title IX process, strategies and our son’s future with knowledge and confidence. He was very clear on his involvement, fees, and next steps. He talked with our son right away and was calm, encouraging and honest with him about potential outcomes. Throughout the almost 4 month process, Mr. Lento was completely involved, talking and emailing with us and our son often daily, calling the school on our son’s behalf, attending meetings with our son at the school, writing detailed formal submissions to the school and following up at all times. There were some ups and downs with the case and Mr. Lento accommodated them all promptly, and with professionalism and encouragement. We feel incredibly lucky that our son’s case resolved in his favor, but know that a large part of that luck had to do with Mr. Lento’s attention to detail and skill in navigating the process. We highly recommend Mr. Lento.

Professional, Dependable, and Efficient

I highly recommend the services of Joseph Lento. He was very personable when initially meeting him to discuss the situation. Attorney Lento had helped in a situation especially since English is my second language. He is dedicated, thorough, and has excellent communication skills. If there is ever a time in which I need legal service, I will be continuing the prosperous relationship with LLF National Law Firm.

Joseph D. Lento Saved My Son!

My son was hit with a serious but false allegation of a Title IX infraction. Joseph D. Lento walked us through the entire process from the beginning and was there for us throughout the 10 month process and the several days long hearing. Our case kept getting more and more complicated due to a changing story from the complainant and varying adherence to the Title IX process by the university. Having Mr. Lento in our corner was an amazing thing to behold. He was diligent, professional, and transparent with us. I cannot imagine going through that hell without him by our side. My son was cleared of the charges and has his future back. We are so grateful. Hiring Mr. Lento was the best money we ever spent and the best decision we made throughout this process.

Medical School Issue Successfully Resolved by Mr. Lento

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.

It Was a Home Run!

I made a desperate call on a Sunday night and couldn’t believe a live person answered the phone, listened to me and Mr. Lento got right back to me. Probably the best call I ever made. Mr. Lento and his team were unbelievable. They were honest, gave us incredible guidance, answered ALL our questions and treated us like family. Our situation was resolved in two months. There were no criminal or disciplinary actions taken. Mr. Lento also referred us to a Great Therapist to help my son deal with the Stress and Anxiety of the situation. We are extremely grateful and recommend them highly.

A Straight Shooter with an Edge

I endorse Joseph D. Lento, Esquire, and recommend him without reservation to anyone…Joe is extremely intelligent, full of compassion, and he knows the law well. I was fortunate to have Joe’s assistance, and as an attorney, I observed that he has a certain “edge” to him that makes him stand out from the rest.  I find Joe to be a “straight shooter” and a very competent attorney. He also happens to be a really nice person!

Mr. Joseph Lento was a very wonderful man who became a friend to my son and family. He explained every question and statement that was made or presented. I have no complaints only praises, because he did an awesome job!!!

University Honor Code Case Won

I made initial contact with Joseph Lento after reading positive reviews on his website. I had a case of “violating honor code of the university” and had my conduct meeting in two days with the Dean. I was very nervous since this was the first instance and I did not know what were the repercussions of this and all the anxiety and fear that came with it were hard for me to manage.

I contacted on their website(via chat message), the operator immediately responded, took all my details and promised that Mr Lento will respond asap.

I got a call within the next 10 mins. Mr Lento listened to me patiently, made me feel at ease by answering my questions, took the dates for the meeting and other deadline dates. After I forwarded all of my university emails regarding the violation, he scheduled a meeting with me and his team.

They came up with a plan of action including assisting me by being on the hearing meeting. Along with this, they educated me on the whole process (no sugarcoating; clear steps on what to expect and how the firm can help out). After preparing me for the interview, my confidence level shot up since I knew such a wonderful firm and a person was behind me, helping out every step of the way.

I would say, I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness to Mr Lento and his entire team. I was able to get out scratch free from the incident entirely because of Mr Joseph Lento.

If you are unfortunately in similar situation causing a lot of anxiety, fear, nervousness, Please don’t waste your time tackling it alone. Consult with Joseph Lento, he will hear your situation (judgement free) and give you practical advice on methods to remedy the situation.

Thank you Mr Lento. You have changed my life for the better.

The Best of the Best!

No words can explain the level of generosity and the professionalism in which I was met with when I first reached out to the LLF National Law Firm. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the LLF National Law Firm. Initially, I was hesitant to look for a lawyer, due to monetary constraints and confidence. However, as things turned for the worst, I had to seek assistance with my case in order to ensure and protect the future ahead of me. With that being said, the LLF National Law Firm defended me to the best of their ability and I received the best outcome possible. Without their support, things would have been drastically different.

Outstanding Work Ethic

I hired Joseph Lento based on other good reviews I’ve read about him. He took my case seriously and personally and did everything he told me he was going to get done. His work ethic, attitude, and performance is outstanding and I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone that is in need of any help.

Justin R.

Fantastic Title IX Defense

Mr Lento was fantastic in his title IX defense for us. His really did an outstanding job and I would recommend him without reservation.  The case was complicated but resolved in our favor because of Mr. Lento’s expertise and outstanding defense.  In a world where many are presumed guilty before investigation, it is a blessing to have Mr. Lento on your side.  He was truly a gift to us–helping us not only with the case, but with the psychological hopelessness that comes with being falsely accused.

Incredible Service, Compassion and Dedication!

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 LLF National 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.

An Ally in a Title IX Case Which Made All the Difference

If you are involved in a Title IX case, I urge you to contact Mr. Lento. Having him as an ally made all the difference. First of all, he is very knowledgeable about the rules, providing feedback and insight we would never have gotten on our own. Secondly, he supported the entire family every step of the way – keeping us informed, staying on top of the process, and communicating with the university on our student’s behalf. He exceeded every expectation.

School Dismissal Due to Title IX Finding Reversed

I was accused of a serious offense at school and was expelled I tried to appeal on my own and was unsuccessful. Fighting on my own was my biggest mistake. Then thank God I found Mr. Lento he was able to reopen the case and fought tooth and nail for me for over seven months with success all the charges dropped and I was reinstated. I have to say at times I wanted to give up I was losing hope time was wearing me down. Mr. Lento was there for me he told me to stay strong mentally, physically keep the faith and we have to keep fighting . He kept my spirits strong and in the end victory. Thank you Mr. Lento for not giving up on me you help keep my future on the right path. I owe you a lot thank you so very much. John

Great Results

Mr. Lento got results for me that were promised, but not delivered, by other attorneys. Mr. Lento was upfront with me during the entire legal process, and treated me with great respect and integrity. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Mr. Lento to other people without reservation.

Great News

Mr. Lento, Great news…exactly what we were aiming for from the start. Thanks for all of the work you have done on this case, especially the work that was done after the appeal had been submitted. Your work on this case has been much appreciated, and I am sure things would not have gone the way my father and I wanted them to had you not been involved. Thanks for being there when we needed it.

No Blemishes on Our Student’s Record

If a college student has been accused of violation of a Title IX violation, the accused (and their parents) should take the most logical step in addressing the charges by seeking excellent legal counsel and considering methods towards informal resolution, when possible. It should be noted, again, not to overstate the importance of hiring a lawyer as soon as you find out that you are charged. Finding the correct lawyer and law firm to help students and their families navigate a school’s complex disciplinary investigation and hearing procedures is imperative.

From the first scheduled meeting with Joe Lento, his organized method and knowledge of many intricate issues, pressures, and challenges such an inquiry brings to parents and students was impressive. Joe Lento came with experience, tactics, and advice on how to navigate the Title IX statements of policy and guidance. He was prepared on points, questions, and concerns and was available for any follow-up. During the inquiry Joe balanced his time and personally returned calls and written communications delivering a sense that we were his priority clients. Joe Lento made sure that he was available and present to coach and counsel our student at meetings with the university, collect and deliver credible evidence so that there was never a gap, and kept all avenues open toward informal resolution. At the end, he was able to help us achieve a successful declaration resulting in no holds, notes, or blemishes on our student’s record.

John David

Excellent Man and Lawyer

My family and I reached out to Mr. Lento for a conduct issue with my University. Not only did he respond promptly with consideration, he went above and beyond to ensure that we covered all grounds. Mr. Lento took the time to explain the legal process, what to expect, and how/ what he could do to ensure the processes flowed smoothly. He contacted the officials for discipline at every opportunity and clarified all the information presented from the University. He worked very early mornings (7/8am) as well as late nights (I believe 11pm /on). I never felt more comfortable with an attorney / lawyer. I did not feel cheated or deceived in any way. I value his help and services. Even post trial he makes conscious efforts to check on my state of mind /productivity in college. I would recommend him to any person looking for a dependable and superior advisor, lawyer, whatever is needed.

Joaquin

College Athletic Coach Cleared of False Title IX Allegations

Mr. Lento was very professional and kind throughout the process. He made himself available at all times. Gave me sound council and advice. When I had meetings he was there on the conference call to make sure I stayed on track and I was no taken advantage of. The end result was exactly what we wanted: Truth to prevail and for my name not to be slandered.

Jeremy Winzer

Title IX Superstar

I contacted Mr. Lento for a specific title IX issue and hired him on the spot. He was superb in his knowledge base, and excellent in his communication and responsiveness. He made us feel hopeful in a hopeless time. The title IX issue is resolved in our favor, and now all of us can move forward in our lives. I am so grateful that I found him and was able to benefit from his services.

Someone Who Would Passionately Fight For Us

My family and I were faced with a very complex and serious family matter. We were in dire need for legal representation. We knew that we needed a strong, knowledgeable, aggressive lawyer to represent us. We needed the best! After visiting Mr Lento’s website and reading his bio, I knew this was someone who would passionately fight for us. Mr. Lento returned our call almost immediately. He was compassionate and professional. He gave us his undivided attention. He worked very quickly to help us achieve the results we needed. I would recommend Mr. Lento to everyone. We are so happy that we found Mr. Lento’s Law Firm and couldn’t have been happier with him.

Jennifer Robertson

Excellent in Every Way!

Without a doubt, hiring Attorney Joseph Lento to counsel my transgender son regarding a Title IX charge at [school removed] was the best decision my family and I have ever made.  I contacted Attorney Lento the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving break of 2017 and I was pleasantly surprised when he returned my call within 15 minutes of my leaving a message with his office.  At first, it was difficult and slightly uncomfortable to discuss personal, intimate details regarding my son’s charge, but that quickly faded.  It was clear to me that Mr. Lento was a true professional by the way in which he answered my questions and put me at ease while I was discussing this delicate situation.  He explained the seriousness of the charge in a way that I could understand, did not mislead me, nor did he offer me false hopes or unrealistic expectations of outcomes in any way.  When Mr. Lento met with my son, he was professional, knowledgeable of the Title IX workings and procedures, positive, patient, and genuinely kind and respectful.  During our hearing in December of 2017, he was incredibly prepared with questions to present to the judge and guided my son in a way that I did not expect (since I have no knowledge of university proceedings or law in general).  Without Mr. Lento’s guidance, I am convinced that my son would have been expelled from college, but instead, he was given a second chance and is able to continue with his studies.   Since the hearing, Mr. Lento has contacted us several times not only to see how we are all doing, but also to update us that no appeal was made to the university’s Title IX Office.  I am extremely impressed with his professionalism and am completely touched by his concern for us, especially regarding my son.  There truly are not enough words to describe our appreciation and gratitude for everything that Attorney Joseph Lento has done for us.

Great Through the Entire Process

Joseph was great through the entire process. He was always fast to respond to my calls/ emails/ texts and answer in a clear and concise manner. He basically handled the whole process for me and this took away a lot of my stress. Would hire again.

You Are Great at What You Do!

Joe, I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard effort during my time of need. You are great at what you do.

Jason Welch

Great Attorney!

As much as I would prefer to no longer reflect on a dark chapter in my family’s life that is now thankfully behind us, the dark chapter itself would not have ended in the successful manner that it did without Joseph Lento’s tireless efforts on behalf of my son and family. Why did my son find himself in the position that he did? Because of one individual’s inexcusable maliciousness, and as I was to soon learn, because of how allegations of sexual assault are viewed today on college campuses. My son had worked tremendously hard to earn acceptance into a top-ranked school, and he was continuing on the path he had set out for himself years earlier. With graduation in sight, and expected attendance at a top-ranked graduate program as his next step in life, my son had the terrible misfortune to be accused of a sexual offense by a former girlfriend, another student who had attended the same school. As one can imagine, with such an allegation came a tremendous burden which words cannot describe. Having only dealt with attorneys in my business affairs, I had no familiarity with what was to come. I only learned how much was at stake after my son was charged by his school. I have a college-age daughter, so I understand the seriousness of what young women face in life, albeit from a father’s perspective. No one of course, male or female, should have to be subjected to unwelcome sexual advances or conduct. That being said, nor should anyone be falsely accused of wrongdoing as was the case with my son. Upon recognizing the implications of what was taking place at my son’s school, I was very fortunate to have been referred to Mr. Lento by a colleague whose family he had helped in a different capacity, but also in a time of need. After speaking with Mr. Lento, I knew he was the person to help us through this trouble. Mr. Lento took the time to listen, to offer his honest assessment of my son’s situation, and as importantly, to give insight about how the matter must be handled. My concerns by no means disappeared after speaking with Mr. Lento, but I felt a sense of relief knowing that he would do everything possible to defend my son against these baseless allegations; allegations motivated in part by a failed teenage relationship. Ultimately, Mr. Lento was with my son and family every step of the way in dealing with school officials and law enforcement, and dedicating himself to mounting a defense that allowed my son to be vindicated, and to be able to continue with his strides in life. My son again has the rest of his life in front of him, and were it not for Mr. Lento’s dedication to the case, all of my son’s and family’s hard work over the years would have been in vain. Mr. Lento, words cannot express how forever grateful we are for you. Thank you.

Don’t waste your time with anyone else.

Helped Guide Me Through the Most Stressful Circumstances I’ve Ever Encountered.

Joe helped guide me through the most stressful circumstances I’ve ever encountered. The first thing he did was believe me. Once he got more details regarding my situation, he was able to highlight relevant facts to my school showing that I was being accused of something that was simply false. He was kind enough to waive some of his fees because he knew I was alone in this situation. Joe was a needed resource for me. He took the entire process seriously, and was responsive and directed me in the best ways to approach and interact with my school. I believe his written analysis of the facts of my situation against the claims made against me played a role in my school recognizing that I had done nothing wrong, and dropping the issue. I highly recommend getting help if you are being accused of something. There are too many traps without proper guidance. Good luck.

J.D.

Genuine Person

Not sure where to be began when it comes to the services provided by Mr. Lento. He is beyond a professional and most importantly made me feel confident in his legal opinions. Mr. Lento was not judgmental by any means and treated me with the respect any potential client could ask for. I would recommend Mr. Lento to any loved one who needed honest and expedient legal advice. Mr. Lento went beyond the services required and left me believing that he genuinely cared about me and my predicament.

Mr. Lento Won My Son’s Title IX Case

“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.”

I would recommend Mr. Lento with the highest enthusiasm.

Capable of Continuing to Pursue My Future of Being a Doctor / Medical School

If you are reading this review I am assuming you are put in a situation where some serious actions are needed to the extent of which a lawyer is required to aid you in your troubles. I will make this short and simple, working with Joseph has been an absolute pleasure and I would not hesitate to hire him as my lawyer again. I am an international student that was put in a very difficult situation right after graduating and required some serious help in order to keep my academic future intact. I got into contact with Joseph through the phone, in fact I left him a message on his website and I was almost immediately contacted. He reassured me that the situation I was in, despite being told it was final, could be redeemed and that he would do his absolute best to make sure that I was capable of continuing to pursue my future of being a doctor. I met up with Joseph later on that week and we spoke along with my family who has been stressed out about the news I’m dealing with. After a brief meeting I was sure he was the man for the job. He made it very clear that he was going to work on this matter for as long as it was needed and that he will give it 100% percent of his effort if not more. Suffice to say he delivered everything he promised, it took almost 6 months of constant pressuring and negotiations to finally reach a definitive conclusion and get my degree. There were plenty of times when I felt like just giving in and dealing with the aftermath of my actions later but Joseph constantly told me to remain calm and believe in the process he’s planned out. Anyways going back to the question you might be asking yourself, should I hire him as my lawyer or not? It’s a very easy question for me to answer i would easily say yes, I’ve very rarely met a more persistent/hard working person than he is. If you don’t believe me, at least do yourself a favor and contact him and you’ll find out why I spoke highly of his work/personality.

Mr. Lento Helped Clear My Daughter of False Academic Misconduct Charges

We were devastated when we learned that my daughter was falsely accused of academic misconduct by her school. She had worked too hard and sacrificed too much to get into a top university to allow her efforts to be derailed by false allegations. She was planning on going to graduate school and to seek professional licensing in her field at a later time and we recognized how serious the potential consequences could be because of these charges. We knew we needed professional help, and as importantly, we knew we needed an attorney who is the best at what he does. We learned of the success and passion Mr. Lento brings to his clients’ cases and we asked him to help. Mr. Lento formulated a strategy on my daughter’s behalf, directed all efforts with the school to challenge the false allegations, and helped us persevere through a difficult time. It took an incredibly dedicated effort, but Mr. Lento was able to have the charges dismissed against my daughter. Thank you, Mr. Lento!

Mr. Lento and his team have truly changed my life. I highly recommend Mr. Lento to anyone in need of an attorney, especially regarding an issue with higher education. The decision to seek an attorney was not an easy one for me. I did not think I had a case and the idea of possibly going to trial was terrifying. Mr. Lento and his team supported me and gave me hope during an extremely dark time of my life. They were understanding, cooperative, and genuine people. Their hard work and professionalism led to my quick reinstatement into a graduate program. Mr. Lento and his team have given me my future back! Forever thankful for all of his hard work.

Title IX, Civil Rights, and DOE Expertise

I initially contacted the LLF National 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.

Quick to Respond and Committed to Case

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.

Title IX – Consistently Accessible and Supportive – Joe Lento is Excellent!

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!

Dr. Phil Rutter

Extremely Positive Experience

I am writing this review on behalf of Mr. Joseph Lento, Esquire, an attorney who, among other things, specializes in student discipline defense. My recent experience with Mr. Lento was extremely positive. Since colleges and universities are bureaucracies unto themselves, answerable to no one, they can be difficult to deal with once a disciplinary problem has occurred. Penalties are harsh and hearings and appeals are closed affairs, often making their self defense inadequate. Parents have no access to decision makers and have no opportunity to intervene on their children’s behalf. Hiring Mr. Lento was a way to have my child’s appeal handled in a thorough, professional manner. He looked at our case from every possible angle and brought in every helpful piece of evidence to make the truth of the case obvious. He kept in close contact with my family and was always available. He was neither over optimistic nor pessimistic, but always honestly appraised our situation and potential outcome. He took a proper deferential tone in his approach to the school, but would have been more assertive in tone if that is what the situation called for. He was as anxious about the outcome as we were and I felt sure that with his participation, we were doing all we could. I would have the same impression of him whether our case was successful or not. I would highly recommend Mr. Lento to anyone who is looking for professional help in dealing with a school disciplinary problem.

Nursing Student Issue Resolved

Five stars would not describe the professional service given to my family in time of need with my daughter. Working in a short frame of time, the Lento team stopped what amounted to gender abuse, unfair treatment, and out right bullying by a professor endured by my daughter in CRNA school. Thanks to the LLF National Firm my daughter graduated as an A student and has an offer at the Cleveland Clinic. They were at our side all the way. Give Joseph Lento and team six stars.

Dr. Allen Roberts

A True Professional

I am very happy with the service I received from Attorney Joseph Lento. We did not know what to do or where to turn. It was a great relief when we found Mr. Lento. He explained everything that was going to happen and took the time to explain our options. He was also always available for questions and promptly answered all inquiries. I would highly recommend Mr. Lento. He is a true professional at all times and and was fair with his billing as well.

Calming Influence in a Tumultuous Time for College Professor

Mr. Lento is a calming influence in a tumultuous career and life altering period. His extensive knowledge and patience with the process provided methodical direction and mental preparation during an extremely stressful and challenging episode. Communication with Mr. Lento was addressed with prompt feedback and guidance along with compassion and concern. His support and direction prevented career altering procedural miscalculations as well as misimpression. Mr. Lento’s presence kept matters on task and deterred any departure from accuracy. His efforts provided the best possible outcome in the context of traumatic uncertainty. He will help you through this difficult time.

Academic Misconduct – Charges Dismissed

Mr. Lento is a true gentleman and a great lawyer. He is very easy to get in touch with, organized, and timely. I was in a rather unique situation that seemed to be clear-cut in my favor. I was charged with Academic Misconduct. Specifically, I was charged with unauthorized access to exams; not necessarily cheating on exams. The Testing Department OTA and the Academic Integrity Committee seemed very one-sided during the process (as if their mind was made up before it began). All the charges against me were speculation and assumptions; no hard evidence. Mr. Lento guided and set me up through the entire frustrating, stressful, and prolonged hearing/case. Ultimately, Mr. Lento was able to get the charges dismissed by the Office of the Provost, which was the last resort other than filing a state lawsuit. In result, the university dropped all charges from my record, reinstated my enrollment, and allowed me to graduate and receive my Bachelor’s Degree immediately (I had finished the entire degree curriculum prior to the charges being made).

Thank You for All of Your Help

Mr. Lento, We were very pleased with the University’s response and approach to moving forward. We think the school’s resolution was fair, measured, and gives our son the opportunity to learn from this incident, demonstrate a renewed responsibility, and also continue to participate in the student body and all that the school has to offer on campus. Thank you very much for you help and concern for [our son’s] best interests. While it has been a trying time for us as a family, it was a pleasure working with you on this situation – your guidance is very much appreciated. Thank you for all of your help.

Helped Our Son Competently Prepare and Organize his Defense

I contacted Mr Lento on Memorial Day weekend Saturday PM and he responded to me 30 minutes later. On Memorial Day we began our defense for our son in Title IX charges brought against him. Mr Lento is professional, experienced, competent, compassionate, and tireless. During the entire process his counsel was on point and helped our son competently prepare and organize his defense. I would never ever enter a Title IX process without retained counsel. I recommend Mr. Lento to any family going through this serious and many times biased process.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Joseph Lento to represent my son and he did a remarkable job and brought us a great result!

Joseph Lento is an excellent attorney!

Danielle Hogg

Nursing School Dismissal Reversed

I would highly recommend the LLF National Law Firm for any student dealing with a disciplinary case. My case was not the easiest to defend, but Mr. Lento and his team were very helpful and non-judgmental. I reached out on a Sunday and received a response the same night despite it being a weekend. I was able to explain the situation and come up with a game plan with Mr. Lento and his team within the next week despite my hearing being less than 10 days away. I don’t think that I would have been able to get the same result from the hearing alone as I did with their help and support.

I am a naturally anxious person and this situation was stress-inducing to a new level for me and Mr. Lento and his team was able to make me feel calm and hopeful despite everything that was going on with my life and my future. They made sure to call me in the days leading up to the hearing and in the morning of the hearing in order to make sure that I was prepared and that I had confidence in our plan. The original punishment for my misconduct was dismissal from my program which would have had detrimental effects on my future and my chances of ever going to school again. Thankfully, with the help of the LLF National Law Firm, I was able to reduce the sanction and significantly improve my chances of pursuing my dream career.

I cannot express enough gratitude.

Danielle Guiao

Saved My Future

Because of Mr. Lento, I have a full future available to me. I’ve heard of college horror stories against innocent young men, but I never thought I would live one. If I didn’t find Mr. Lento, I wouldn’t have the future available to me that I have now. He and his team helped me through a struggle which I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. I cannot thank him enough. If you’re reading this, you’re probably already in a sticky situation, so my advice to you is to call him. He will not let you down.

Personal Care and Commitment

Lawyers are easy to find, but a great lawyer like Mr. Joe Lento is difficult to find. I spoke to Mr. Lento prior to my situation on the phone, and in that first phone call I knew he was the one. Mr. Lento was very understanding, listened to my case and concerns, compassionate, spent the time to meet my concerns, and always returned my calls. Mr. Lento worked extremely hard, advocated for me and for my best interest, and consulted with me with step by step information. Not only did Mr. Lento do a great job, but he put his personal care and commitment into it to make sure I got positive results. Mr. Lento and his staff were on point. I will be using Mr. Lento again in the future and I highly recommend his firm.

Great Representation – He Went Above and Beyond Expectations

I could not be more pleased with my representation from Mr. Lento. He went above and beyond expectations. His knowledge of the court system is apparent. Even after the finalization of my court process he continued to lend his help with related issues. I would turn to nobody else for legal representation.

Cory Rogol

Nursing School Academic Dismissal Reversed

They reached out right away and got started on my case, I was facing an academic dismissal [nursing school] for having to repeat more than two courses per the college policy. I faced adverse challenges during my ASN nursing program and the school was not budging on their policy for me. Joe and his team helped me to appeal the case and once again I was rejected, they then made the school aware I was being represented and the school was not responsive. His team followed up several times before finally getting a response from the school. They miraculously had a change of heart and are reinstating me for my final nursing class so I can graduate. If not for them, I would have to start over and it would be hard to go to another college with a dismissal on my record. None of the last two years of nursing would transfer and I would have to reapply to clinical (a 2-3yr wait) after spending 5 1/2 years and $64k in student loans already. They saved my career and my future!

Mr. Lento Restored My Faith in Attorneys

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.

Thank You, Joe!

It’s clear that Joe has passion, drive and dedication to his client(s). Within moments after I contacted him, I had a call on my mobile, and it was Joe. During the entire process, I was kept extremely informed, with much detail. The time Joe spends with his clients surpassed our expectations. At one point, I was troubled with not understanding a particular issue. Joe spend about 20 minutes explaining things better for me in detail, and how he had our back. If you are looking for help in sensitive matters, contact Joe and talk. His intelligence, calm demeanor and devotion went a long way!

Huge Help

Mr Lento was a huge help with my stressful situation I was involved in. I never had to do anything which involved court or even a hearing. He made me feel ready and also relaxed for the event. Also during my hearing experience he provided me with well worded questions and comments that supported my argument at my hearing. He was a great listener to my side of the story and also the people within the hearing. He marginally produced great ideas as the hearing went on. Mr Lento had a very appropriate approach that resulted with me being in the best possible scenario after the hearing was finished. I appreciated every phone call, face time, and meeting we had prior to the hearing. He showed passion for my situation as if it were his own. Let alone his attorney work, Mr Lento is a approachable guy with a lot of class, good guy.

Excellent Support

Joseph Lento was a tremendous help to our family when we had to deal with a difficult situation with our son at school.  He spent time on a weekend to consult with us to get a feel for the case and really was a great advocate.  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 suggestion 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.

Mr. Lento Treats His Clients Like Family

Mr. Joseph Lento is an excellent attorney. He treats his clients like family and is both understanding and extremely compassionate. He is very willing to listen and he truly wants what is best for his clients. I strongly recommend Mr. Lento for any legal needs that you have as he will fight to get the best possible result for you.

Brian S.

Beyond Dedication

I had hired Mr. Lento recently when I had hit rock bottom and my life had become hell on Earth. Things were not looking in my favor. Without Joseph’s commitment to my case and incredible work ethic I would not have been able to begin putting the pieces of my life back together. Joe did everything possible for me, even when my depression and anxiety hindered my ability to do what was required of me. I know these factors only made Mr. Lento’s job more difficult but he STILL gave 110% on my case and never let me down. He explained everything that was happening clearly and on many occasions went above and beyond on my behalf, even going as far to offer the judge a very kind assessment of my character, which I do not doubt was genuine. Joe is a fighter for sure and my family and I can not thank him enough for all he did for me/us. I can’t say enough good things about him I STRONGLY recommend him and his services.

Medical School Dismissal Reversed

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.

University Expulsion Case Dismissed

Words can not describe how much Mr. Lento helped me in my darkest hour. Because of a “racist” comment that I made on social media according to my classmates, they reported me to the dean of the school to get me expelled one month before graduation. They took my comment out of context and sent it to multiple influential alumni and preceptors that I had had during my time at my program. Those alumni then emailed the school en mass with one purpose: to destroy my reputation and make sure that I could never have any chance of a professional career. One of my classmates who had been talking to the dean told me that I was going to get kicked out of the program. Hopeless, I started looking for a lawyer. My in-laws found Mr. Lento and I reached out to him. Immediately he took my case. He took the proper steps to reach out to the school as soon as he could. After he touched base with the lawyer at my school, I was never contacted again by my program. I graduated and passed my boards. Mr. Lento saved my career. Please do not hesitate to let this man help you. He knows what he is doing and will FIGHT for you.

Great, Determined Attorney

Joseph Lento was amazing to work with. Joseph answered all my questions. Mr. Lento would call, text, and/or email with case updates and would also respond promptly with any concern that I had.

I would recommend Mr. Lento to anyone and I 100 percent recommend Mr. Lento to anyone that is in trouble and wants a great, determined attorney.

Title IX Savior – Medical School Professor’s Case Resolved

Hiring Mr. Lento was the single best decision my family and I made when the world came crashing down upon us in the form of a wrongful accusation resulting in a university Title IX case. Other legal counsel told us not to expect any positive or constructive outcome in the academic processes because of the political climate and procedural biases generally inherent to Title IX proceedings, without too much knowledge of the processes.

After months of day-in-day-out worrying, we made the decision to consult a Title IX specialist. Just like that, we encountered Mr. Lento. He spared no time diving right into the details, was realistic about probable outcomes in consultation, and assuaged our worst fears without sugar-coating the facts one bit. We immediately retained him and achieved better results than we’d ever hoped for. Hiring him was the best decision we made as a family, and we owe a great deal to his training, professionalism, politeness, and expedient responses. He put our minds and hearts at ease, and helped us solve the matter.

God bless you, Joseph Lento.

The Best at What he Does!

I highly recommend Joseph Lento without any reservations. Nothing can be more distressing than to be the subject of a title IX complaint. I turned to online reviews and read the reviews and reached out to him. He responded promptly compared to other lawyers I reached out to and, following our consultation, I hired him immediately because his drive and desire to help his clients succeed came across. He is extremely professional and very precise. He knows the ins and outs of the process and helped with all communication with the school. He has your best interest at heart, knows the tools of his trade to help you succeed, but never gives false promises. In addition, he will help you determine the best case strategy. He responds promptly and communicates very effectively especially through emails but does return calls promptly as well. He helped me achieve the best possible outcome for my case and I could not be more thankful because my career was on the line. Please do not hesitate to hire him as your lawyer. I cannot recommend him more highly. Absolutely 5 star

Excellent Title IX Lawyer

I was going through a rough time being accused of something I did not do. I was so worried my life would come crashing down and my career would be over before it started. We contacted Mr. Lento from the beginning and he was with us through everything. His help was invaluable as it allowed me to do my other work as he took on the burden of what I was dealing with. I will forever appreciate that. If it was not for Mr. Lento I would not have been able to succeed with my work and I also would not be able to be in the place that I am now. Mr. Lento fights for you, he is someone you want on your side and someone you do not want to be up against.

Title IX Case Resolved – Thankful for Mr. Lento’s Help

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.

Serious Domestic Violence Case Dismissed

Attorney Joseph D. Lento helped a loved one with a serious domestic violence case which involved both criminal charges and a protection from abuse order.  Despite being falsely accused, everything was on the line including the defendant’s professional employment, the children, and even the family home.  Mr. Lento came through in all respects and literally saved a loved one’s life and future.  Mr. Lento recommended a strategy to best address the criminal case and the PFA, and as importantly, he executed so effectively that the assistant district attorney was shell shocked at the end of the criminal case.  I highly recommend Mr. Lento when the stakes are high and failure is not an option.

Falsely Accused in a Title IX Case – “So Grateful!”

My son was falsely accused of wrong-doing in a Title IX case at school. I contacted Joseph and he got back to me within an hour to discuss the matter and help me understand the law, how schools deal with Title IX, and our options for dealing with the issue. He even took on the burden of talking with my son directly to explain what could happen and what his rights were under the law. He had excellent suggestions on how to prepare for defending against the accusations and traveled to meet with us personally. He was aggressive in helping get the matter resolved in our favor and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Rape and Sexual Assault Charges Dismissed – Joseph Lento was an Enormous Help

I Would Recommend Mr. Lento to Anyone Ever Asking!!

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!

Mr. Lento Resolved the Issues with My School

I was having issues with my school and I needed a lawyer immediately. It was during a holiday weekend, and my chances of finding a lawyer were almost slim to none. My friend referred me to Joe, and he immediately picked up the case. Joe got back to me within minutes of reaching out to his office, he was actually on the beach spending time with his father, but he took the time out to talk to me about my case, what needed to be done, and how he could help. On such short notice, Joe picked up my case and ran with it. I firmly believe his presence made a difference in the outcome of my case. Definitely a good lawyer, he will go far and beyond to make his clients happy. After everything settled with my case, Joe maintained contact with me to make sure that I progressed with my classes!

Grateful for Mr. Lento. HIGHLY recommend!!

We contacted Mr. Lento about a family situation, and he practically became a part of our family. He got back to us immediately. Mr. Lento stayed in touch with us through every step of a very difficult process. Best defense attorney ever. I am still crying as I write this, because he defended a family member during an incredibly stressful time. I am an attorney myself. I have never seen a lawyer be such an advocate, and a convincing one, in my life. He never offered us false hope. I respected that. We had a clear understanding of what might happen, because he had researched it, and had familiarity with it. He showed up to every single event along the way. This event is still kind of recent, so let me just say that Mr. Lento stepped into the life of my family at a desperately low point, and was an awesome defense attorney. I would recommend him to anyone.

Amazing!

My husband and I hired Joseph Lento and it was the best decision we could have made! He takes the time to go over everything with you and gets the results he sets out to get!

Joe Worked Very Hard to Get Us the Best Outcome

I can not say enough good things about Joe! He made us feel like we were his only clients. He got back to us almost immediately and constantly kept us informed. He made a very, very difficult time much easier to bare. I know he worked very hard to get us the best outcome. I can’t thank you enough Joe!!!

I Could Not Have Asked for Better Representation

Very professional, straight to the point. We are so happy to have found Mr. Lento. I did a google search out of Virginia and after reading Mr. Lento’s reviews, I quickly called him (I am so glad I did). Mr Lento was there for our family day and night, he didn’t mind the day or hour, he was always there to answer any question. He was very dedicated to our case, he consistently stayed in contact and gave updates, he was very sincere, genuinely caring, both empathetic and sympathetic, it was as if he put his self in our shoes and fought the case if it was his personally, I could not have asked for better representation for my husband or our family.

Excellent Results!

Mr. Lento performed as advertised. I had a very unique situation and Joe listened carefully to my concerns and knocked the case out of the park. I was a client of his that lived 4 hours away, but he earned every ounce of confidence that I now have in him and his firm.

Excellent Service – Dedicated and Professional

I am very pleased with the outcome of my niece’s case after Joe’s participation. The thing that impressed me the most is that he paid great attention to the details, which differentiates his service from others. Very thoughtful and professional. My niece is an international student. Joe took a great deal of time to listen, to understand, to guide and to follow up. I must say, without his involvement and his effort, we would not be able to get what we achieved today.
