Gavin P. Lentz
As a founding partner of Bochetto & Lentz, Gavin’s practice focuses on complex commercial business litigation, partnership disputes, law firm breakups, intellectual property disputes, trademark and copyright infringement claims, white collar criminal defense, professional negligence claims, and medical malpractice.
Clients credit Gavin with having a strong focus on understanding what constitutes a “win” for his clients and then relentlessly pursuing that end goal with the most straightforward and efficient path possible.
His background and case history are incredibly diverse, and Gavin is skilled at bringing what would seem like disparate mix of experiences together to creatively problem solve for his clients.
He has served as Judge Pro Tem in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, is a former Assistant District Attorney prosecuting felony cases and complex criminal schemes, is a current member of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Bar Associations, and has been admitted to multiple Courts in the United States to handle complex cases including the District Courts in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Missouri, Tennessee, and North Carolina, the Federal Circuit Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
When Gavin isn’t fighting for his clients, he regularly serves as an arbitrator and mediator in complex civil cases and volunteers for the Philadelphia Clinic for Disabled Persons, assisting in representing clients with disabilities free of charge. He is also a volunteer trial attorney for Law Day for Children, presenting Mock Trials for Schools in Philadelphia, and is on the fundraising committee for Annual Academy Ball to benefit the arts in Philadelphia.
Outside of using his legal talents, Gavin lives in Philadelphia with his family, teaching his 4 children bow hunting, surfing, and fishing.

Testimonials
Relentless professional expertise & support
The Outcome Could Not Have Been Better
Gavin and Vincent worked with us on a mediation case, and the outcome could not have been better. They took the time to deeply understand our case, came prepared, and got us a resolution that we could have never done ourselves or with another lawyer. Their ability to think not just about the legal side, but also the business side, of the transaction is impressive. I can’t say enough about how highly I would recommend Bochetto & Lentz.
The Improvement Was Obvious Almost Immediate
Gavin and Anton of Bochetto & Lentz has been general counsel for my company since 2013. The improvement was obvious almost immediately from speed of service, execution and efficiency of transactional and strategic work, and personalized approach to our business. We made the move over to them after watching two previous firms mishandle and mismanage our business. The other firms were very expensive and they did not always deliver what they promised.
Anton and Gavin think of us first, not themselves. They focus on getting us the optimal result for the best investment every single time. Even when we recommend a less efficient route, they guide us back to the best strategy rather than letting our emotions get the best of us. They have settled incredibly tough cases in litigation through mediation when it would have benefited them financially to recommend we take it to court. Finally, when they are not experts on a specific part of the law, they let you know rather than pretend they can handle everything.
Thank you, we certainly don’t make it easy on you guys sometimes. We appreciate the hard work.
A Lawyer of Outstanding Ability
Philadelphia Lawyer. A lawyer of outstanding ability, a keen scent for the weakness of an adversary’s case and a thorough knowledge of the intricacies of the law. Gavin Lentz fits this description perfectly. Thank the Lord he’s on my side and not vice versa.
