Most amazing DUI Representation

I was pending a my 3rd DUI court case in South Jersey when I received a 4th DUI after being pulled over for speeding with only driving lights on in North Jersey. I posted my 3rd DUI result in a previous note. These cases were running back to back. Peter was able to reduce the North Jersey DUI to rec...kless Driving with a 60 day suspension since the full discovery could not be produced by the North Jersey Police Dept for the courts. Paid fines, No Jail, No Interlock, No Surcharges. Peter recommended i attend Alcohol counselling and an IOP treatment program. I am very lucky to have had the best representation in New Jersey. I've recently stopped drinking and joined AA. Life is Good! Thank you Peter!

2nd dui case, and a refusal

Peter, is an expert at working out a win win situation that is favorable for his clients. I was able due to Peter focussing on the facts of the case with the prosecutor to walk out of court on my 2 offense in NJ, with a careless driving, not a wreck less but a careless. Peter is very blunt, however... he knows dui law, period. A lot of prosecutors do not want to go to trial with him because it will be a death match. Peter will also tell you straight, to be smart and don't call me anymore. He's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you make a mistake, and get yourself in a bind, call Peter Lederman Everytime. From my family to yours thank you sir... Nt

the best of the best!

Peter and his team are amazing! They are responsive, caring and straight to the point. I am extremely grateful to have been referred to them. Peter took what would have been a 3rd DWI and by being extremely knowledgeable he looked at every and all aspects of my situation as a whole. He was able to fi...nd found that I wasn't properly counseled on a prior almost 10 years ago, so by knowing the laws and realities of it all we were able to get that offense vacated and turn the 3rd into a 1st. He was extremely diligent and went the extra mile to really help me legally as well as making some other suggestions of which helped my case and my life to date. I would highly recommend him and will forever be grateful. Also, if you ever need a witty joke...make sure to laugh at his too! :) Definitely helps to soften hard situations.

Expert Professional

I was referred to Mr. Lederman from a family friend. I have never been in trouble with the law prior to this incident so I was very nervous and scared because I risked losing my career and my livelihood. Even though this was my first offense, I had a very high BAC and was looking at a lost of licen...se for a year with interlock. Mr. Lederman was able to rule out the breath test and through persuasion was able to get me the minimal penalties of 3 months lost of license with minimal fines. Mr. Lederman is an expert at what he does. He is very honest and explains your case step by step. He does not sugar coat anything and tells it like it is. However, If there is a way to get you off he will. I recommend Mr. Lederman whole-heartedly if you find yourself in my same predicament.

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"
