I met Pete back in the ‘80’s when I went to court to plead not guilty without a lawyer. The judge started reading me the riot act, and to my surprise, Peter stood up, interrupted the judge, and stated that he is now representing me. We did beat the case and had it reduced to careless driving. At that...

I cannot thank this man enough. Literally saved my life!! I was hit with a DUI/DWI back in December of 2023. I had a friend recommend him to me.

I was recommended Peter Lederman through a past client who had multiple successful outcomes. For me Mr. Lederman successfully handled two DUI’S that were incredibly difficult. He is Extremely knowledgeable and tenacious. Backing him are his paralegals who are equally tenacious. My case dragged on for...
"Peter is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have had the privilege of working with. He is incredibly well-versed in DUI/DWI law, with the seemingly effortless ability to cite cases and make cohesive arguments that win the day. I had the immense good-fortune of working with him on a DUI as co-counsel, and I gained a lot of insight into how to approach those cases due to his careful consideration and analysis of the facts. He was respectful and encouraging of my work product, while also giving me constructive feedback. He even put on a masterclass in how to handle client interactions. With his vast experience and his breadth of knowledge, Peter is definitely the advocate that you want on your side."
"Peter is an authority in the field of DUI/DWI, and I have consulted with him regarding several complex issues. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients."
"Peter is an outstanding and well known attorney in the community with substantial experience handling DWI matters. I had the pleasure of attending one of his CLE seminars, gaining valuable knowledge in his field of DWI defense. He went above and beyond by staying after the lecture to answer questions and offered himself as a resource for any future issues. He has on countless occasions provided me with valuable information and insight into the art of defending a DWI case."
"Peter is both a talented lawyer and a consummate gentleman. I have both taken ICLE seminars he has been a part of as well as observed him in court. I was in court on an occasion that Peter was in the middle of trying a DWI case. Now normally municipal court trials are not the most interesting cases to watch but I do take the opportunity to observe them when I am already in court to see if I can pick up some tips. Well I got more than that on the day I saw him. I got to see him skillfully poke holes in the prosecutors case while still remaining respectful to all involved. His client went from a DWI with other related charges to a ticket with low fines and no points. I can't remember the violation because it is so difficult to get for your client even in a speeding case where unsafe operation is a good result. He gave me his card and told me to call if I ever had any questions. The bottom line is not only did he call me back he gave me his cell #. He is a Lawyer's Lawyer"
"I had the benefit of attending an intensive series of DWI classes taught by Peter. He is an authority on DWI law and always makes himself available to clients and colleagues."
