We worked with Joe over the course of nearly 4 years. He was very responsive to our communication and ultimately got us the outcome we desired. He has a breadth of knowledge and knows the local court system intimately.

After dealing with over 30 players, several adversarial private and corporate attorneys, one pandemic, Joe Lesniak secured me a NOT guilty verdict on ALL 5 counts (4 of which were felonies.) It's therefore a gross understatement when I say JOE LESNIAK IS THE BEST LAWYER THERE IS!! Here's why:
(Warning - long read ahead because this complicated case spanned over the course of ~4 years.)
I was falsely accused of sex crimes I did not commit. I initially met with an excellent defense attorney who helped me with my arraignment, but after examining the nature of the accusations, I knew I needed someone who is an expert in sex crimes. That's when I reached out to Joe Lesniak, a lawyer with an advanced understanding of the nuances of sex offense cases. Joe brought a distinct perspective to my case, having spent several years serving at the Delaware County District Attorney's Office, mainly in the Special Victims Domestic Violence Division. He had access to information and a unique insight into the inner workings of DelCo's justice system that most other defense attorneys can't claim they do. Although he did not make any guarantees to any specific outcomes, Joe was still spot on with his predictions and accurately anticipated the prosecutor's every move.
I was grateful when I learned that Joe was the only attorney that I would be dealing with regarding my case i.e., no associate or middle person. It helped assuage my anxiety surrounding the allegations as I knew had to regularly discuss sensitive topics pertaining to the case. Moreover, the mere nature of such accusations not only threaten one's freedom, but they also have the potential to rip apart marriages and families. A lot of things were on the line, but Joe helped me put things in perspective, and successfully deal with issues as they arose.
It was evident, from how successfully Joe handled each of my hearings, that he stays up to date and dedicates himself to intensely studying the case law. I have been constantly amazed at how promptly he wrote effective motions. Most of them were ruled in our favor.
During the trial, Joe spoke clearly and persuasively (as he always does.) He used his great analytical skills to pull apart the case and successfully defend my innocence. His interpersonal skills shone when he masterfully balanced likability with the sometimes-necessary aggressiveness. I was in awe. The judge was in awe. The jurors were in awe. Even other attorneys, judges, and spectators unrelated to the case were all in awe!
There are honestly way too many legal rules and strategies in sexually based crimes that an average criminal defense attorney will not be able to successfully defend you. Depending on the alleged crime, we are talking about a difference between your freedom vs 15-20years of imprisonment. Do yourself a favor and Call the Law Offices of Joseph Lesniak Today!
P.S. I am literally crying right now as I wrap this up. I honestly cannot thank him enough. You truly came through for me, Mr. Lesniak - thank you and God bless.

Joe represented a family member and did a great job. He put a case together that told a story which the Jury appreciated and believed. Used the Prosecutions witness's testimony to our favor and they didn't even know it happened. I was only there for the trial but was told that the pre-trial preparation was top notch. I was impressed with his court room demeanor. Highly recommended.

Joseph Lesniak is a one of a kind attorney. In his scope of practice it can be very easy to value money over quality of representation. However, Joe is a rare example that attorneys who care still exist. Due to his dedication, determination, intellect, and compassion my family and I were given a second chance at life. He not only saw us for who we were, he fought to make sure others could see it also. He was honest with us even when the truth was difficult. With this being my very first criminal offense, I was privileged to have found such a wonderful attorney. I would reccomend Joseph to anyone seeking for honest, trustworthy, professional representation. Thank you again Joe, for standing true to your oath.

I was very surprised when I called and Joe actually answered the phone! With only a few minutes of talking with him i felt very comfortable and confident. My case is still ongoing so I can't say to much but I am completely happy with his service. His response time was excellent. Whether threw text or a phone call. I highly recommend Joseph. I will definitely use him for anything else that might come up!

Back in 2018 when I was summoned by the courts to appear for a DUI offense. I was trying to represent myself, and the judge in Media was threatening to throw me in jail.
The paper work wrongly said 2nd offense. The judge was telling me he would throw me in jail, to get a public attorney if I didn't get my own (knowing now the judge was only looking out for me). I didn't have any money and I was in dire straits.
I was recommended to Mr. Lesniak by another attorney in Media. Once he found out I was a Military Veteran. He offered to represent me pro-bono. He quickly got things straightened out, and had the courts change it to a first offense.
I completed ARD, and didn't even have my license taken away because there was barely anything (medicine) in my system.
Mr. Lesniak is a very personable, professional lawyer who gets the job done. I would recommend him to my family in a heart beat.
Honestly I just called him, to ask him to write up a paragraph explaining why the DUI isn't a conviction in Pennsylvania. He's a awesome lawyer, family man, who will help do what's best for you.
Please give him a call if you need a lawyer. There's no one better.
