Review Peter Lederman

The best out of the best

Posted by

We all make mistakes, and I made one back in December 2019. After the holiday party with my friends, I drove home, not realizing I had to drink more than I should. My BAC was 0.16..not great at all, to say the least. I hired a different lawyer, much cheaper, which was a HUGE mistake. You pay for what you get. Soon after, I fired the lawyer and went to Mr. Peter; he was extremely understanding and clearly explained the consequences and pointed on my case's weaknesses. Due to the covid, my case was rescheduled many times and today was a day of a trial. Mr. Peter was able to DISMISS my DUI case, and we didn't even have to do a trial at all!!!! I couldn't believe that! I walked away with reckless, 90 days suspension and a small fine with no DUI record on my case! I am so happy and so grateful I went to him. One thing I should ve done differently, I should've gone to him in the first place! Contact Mr. Peter; everyone deserves a second chance!

DUI violation

Posted by

I was ticketed for a DUI violation last December. My friend recommended attorney Peter Lederman at Lomurro Law to take my case. It was a really great experience working with him; not only he is knowledge and experienced, he was also polite when giving me constructive criticism and did not make me feel like a criminal. Throughout the process, he kept me constantly updated, e.g. the evidence he has collected to my advantage, the work needed to be done and the possible outcome for this ordeal. I knew the status of my case at all times. The case was resolved satisfactory this September. I am grateful for his service and I have no reservation recommending him to anyone who needs a DUI attorney.

Mr. Lederman and his staff were amazing. Mr. Lederman took the time to truly understand my goals and then based on my goals we discussed various potential paths and outcomes. He provided me with all the information for each outcome and allowed me to make the decision vs trying to sway me in one direction or the other. I had 4 tickets 1 of which was a 1st DUI and after hiring Mr. Lederman I ended with a careless driving ticket. His staff is also amazing. They were very responsive and super respectful in their correspondence over email and voicemail. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation for DUI.

I highly recommend this attorney.

This is the attorney you want to represent you, hands down and here’s why. After a combination of bad choices and some misrepresentation, I ended up with a couple of DUIs on my record early in my youth (18 yrs of age or so). Fast forward to my 40’s, I made the same mistake again with the severe consequences looming for multiple DUIs, I wanted to get the best representation possible. I reached out to Mr. Lederman after reading his reviews and I have to say, he was everything I had read he was, and more. He treated me with utmost respect, and helped me get my life back on track. He went above and beyond what any prior attorney had done to get me the minimum sentence. He went back through every prior DUI and had one of them officially removed from my record. The staff were responsive, helpful and always stayed in contact and kept me 100% up to date on all that was going on. Peter did exactly what he said he would do, is extremely smart and knowledgeable on the law, and can confidently stand behind his word. He was no nonsense and up front with me right from the first meeting, and was accurately able to predict the outcome of the case. I cannot thank him enough.

First DUI

Posted by

Peter did an amazing job with my case! Not only did he display complete professionalism but also demonstrated how truly passionate he is in regards to assisting his clients. I received 10 tickets and one of them had been a DUI with refusal. He devoted his time into finding what had not been just in my case. My court date came and I kid you not, a miracle happened. I came out with no DUI, no record, of arrest and no DUI with refusal. He is definitely one that I will recommend and definitely someone that I will forever be grateful for!

A true miracle worker

Posted by

I was faced with the greatest crisis of my life, a second DUI, along with 5 other serious charges. From the start, there was nothing my first lawyer could do to avoid a 2 year loss of license, 1 year interlock, classes, hefty fines, and loss of credibility. Peter was able to delay the case and ultimately force the prosecutor into a careless driving charge, dismissed the DUI, with no loss of license, because legal tactics which left the States case as a "house of cards". He has giving me a true new lease on life, which will not be squandered. God bless!

Best DUI Layer in NJ!!!!

Posted by

I could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism I received at the law offices of Peter Lederman, Esq. His efficiency and dedication to my case far exceeded any expectations I could have hoped for. I was faced with multiple DUI’s and assorted traffic violations in numerous municipalities throughout the state and was anticipating a grim outcome, to say the least. From the moment of my initial consultation Mr. Lederman gave me hope and had me convinced that he could provide me with the best-case scenario for my circumstances and he one hundred percent did not disappoint. Mr. Lederman went to bat for my case and I executed his ability with perfection. If anyone is looking for the best legal representation in the state of New Jersey for DUI or traffic offences, I cannot recommend the Law Offices of Pete Lederman, Esq enough.

He got me off with nothing more than a fine .. definitely would use him again (if I needed to).... I'm staying out of trouble

I used Peter Lederman in my dui case that I got back in August. Today it was resolved and I couldn't be happier. I have a class A cdl, and my first born child on the way. Its was very important to me to not have a dui on my driving record because due to my cdl, getting a cdl job with a dui on your record is almost impossible. Peter did a great job representing me and the outcome was a downgrade to reckless driving. I only ended up loosing my license for 4 months but I could have lost it for 7 months to 1 year cause of my cdl. No dui surcharges, idrc, or interlock for me. Thanks Peter, will definitely be recommending you to others.

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.

Andrew Leimbach, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 25, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Gary Flynn, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 14, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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

John Koufos, DUI and DWI Attorney on May 22, 2010

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.
