Lento Law Firm

"Best injury law firm one can have! They worked for me for the worker's comp. Thank you Lento Law Group for all your legal guidance and support in my difficult times. Greatly appreciate all your efforts to get me the best results."

"I contacted this firm in Nov 2021, looking for a law firm to take a complex class action case against a predatory for profit education scheme. The associate lawyer who worked for Lento Law was originally an aggressive attorney who we worked with for several months strengthening the legal arguments surrounding the case . After working with this associate lawyer for several months, he believes our case is solid and has the students engage in investigative research , placing the data in excel format. When this associate lawyer approached his managing attorney/partner , named John ( who may not be an attorney according to the state gov), he arranged a phone conference, which I happened to accept around Feb 2022. Unbeknown to myself and the other students, attending this phone conference was the managing partner from a completely different law firm, an attorney by the name of Frank Schirripa. After the phone conference , Frank seemed skeptical but seemed interested in taking the case, despite his firm profile that seemed to lack civil rights type cases such as our student group. The associate at Lento Law, told us that Frank was taking over the case and to contact him. After another two months went by, I briefly spoke with Frank over the phone and he claimed his firm was taking the case. Frank claimed he wanted me to meet one of his associate lawyers in person, who I assumed was going to represent us. When I attended the meeting in April 2022, his firm did a complete 180, claiming the case was not winnable and was not going to take the case forward. It seems there was no need for an in person meeting if they had made some internal decision to decline the case. I then contacted this associate from Lento law and basically ended up arguing with him over the other firm's deception and his claims that Frank S was my lawyer. After several more months , around Aug 2022, Lento law offered an absolute joke of a retainer agreement, which no legitimate law firm serious about litigating a case such as this would offer. THEY BASICALLY ASKED FOR 2500$ TO ARGUE ONE MOTION, THEN PULL OUT OF THE CASE AND LEAVE US TOTALLY UNREPRESENTED. Six plus months of discussion, communication and hard work on behalf of students were wasted, and while I do not completely blame Lento Law, they were responsible for recommending Frank S, allowing him to decide the viability of the case when he was not even an employee of Lento, and lying to the students on several occasions. Please note, Lento Law uses several deceptive tactics to prevent clients and potential clients from posting negative reviews online. These include, litigation, threats of litigation, and claiming Lento Law Firm and group are two separate legal orgs. Joe Lento in in charge or both law groups, they are essentially one firm , just located in two different cities"

"I give this Lento Law Firm 2 thumbs up and would recommend their services to anyone in need. They are very professional and flexible when it comes to scheduling the consultations and meeting needs. I look forward to working with them again in the near future. Once again thank you Lento Law Firm and i appreciate everything."

"Joseph and his team were very helpful in navigating through a difficult situation. They are kind, professional, prompt and don't sugar coat things. Their knowledge of how the processes work, possible outcomes and strategies are invaluable given the lack of transparency and inconsistencies in how colleges handle disciplinary matters."

"First of all, the high number of reviews on Google makes me very suspicious because I do analytical forensics for a living. Most positive reviews are either newly created accounts or have no other reviews or both. Regardless, my own experience and perception is as such that this Lento guy slapped this firm together and is simply making a living off of the money grab tactics. The $350 consul fee would have been reasonable if they were transparent what you pay for (no value there- this is what most self respecting firms would call an intake and make it complimentary in case they actually have no expertise in the area.) The 10k retainer is however UNreasonable, as most people cannot afford it. I browsed through the site and saw the profiles of lawyers he decide to hire as part of his team- Thomas Cooley Law? Seriously? I don’t even think that’s ABA accredited. You’ve also got lawyers from other countries, it’s a mess."
