Thank You, Mr. Lederman !!! Best DUI Attorney in New Jersey

I got into an accident going home where a deer jumped out, I tried avoiding the deer and lost control of the car and hit side of a tree and flipped. Cops came and arrested me for DUI. Mr. Peter H Lederman was recommended by a friend and I looked him up, read some reviews and decided to contact Mr. Le...derman. He explained the entire process and the laws in detail and that made me feel better. As the case moved forward Mr. Lederman and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Mr. Lederman and his staff fought very hard in my case and delivered a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend!

Best Representation

My son was in dui situation where he mistakenly put backpack containing liquor on front passenger’s seat zipped. He was stopped by police and he requested explanation of breadth test which was considered refusal and was issued multiple tickets by hostile cops though he is a very polished and... brilliant kid . Mr Lederman represented my son and we were lucky and glad we did. My son got reckless driving and got everything else dropped. Mr Lederman was very thorough, responsive knowledgeable. He is the best and speciaises in ge

Never Forget

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... time it was allowed to negotiate the charges. Because of this man’s ethical integrity, I have always referred him to my friends. I remember this like it was yesterday, even though it was 40 years ago. He would make an excellent judge or state attorney general. I wish you the best Pete and thanks again for your concern about humanity.

Unreal

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. Peter & his team worked on my case from the very first day I hired him. 11 months in & I walked away with everything dismissed besides the wreckless drivin...g charge. Paid a $240 fine & walked away with a new lease on life. Peter is not only knowledgeable & passionate but he cares!! There is no case this man cannot handle!! I would like to thank this man with every breathe I have in me I’m still in shock. The Man, The Myth, The Legend !! Give him your last dollar if you have to he’ll get you back in the game for sure. Thank You

Best DUI Lawyer!

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... nearly 6 years and he always kept fighting and trying different tactics. He never rushed the case and took the time to explain potential outcomes. He also takes time to learn about his client. All of these qualities and attributes make Mr. Lederman the best choice and believe me, my cases were difficult. I am forever grateful. Thank you !

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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 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."

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"
