Make the first great choice by choosing Peter Lederman.

I could write a book about how grateful I am for finding Peter Lederman. I was facing a 2nd DUI with refusal, and reckless. This means 2-4 years no driving along with expensive fines, possible jail time and major insurance increases upon license reinstatement. This speaks nothing of the social sti...gma or shame that comes with a DUI. Peter was my choice, because from the first phone call he was tough, honest and knew DUI law inside out. I knew that the decisions that led me to this were my mistakes and the consequences were great. Changes needed to be made on my part. Hiring an excellent lawyer was a piece in an important puzzle. Peter demands that you work while he does. I went to alcohol counseling and really made changes in my life. Peter will not promise specific results, and he shouldn’t, because each case is different. I guarantee that he will put every bit of his knowledge and experience into your case. I trusted Peter and am overwhelmed with my results. My case was dismissed. My trooper never showed up to court. All charges were dismissed and I drove myself home from court. Peter Lederman is the only choice if you want the best possible results. Peter is well respected in the court system and it's because of his skillful navigation of all aspects of the process. I will forever be grateful to him and forever changed from the experience. Don't drink and drive. If you make a mistake like I did, call Peter. It will be the first great choice that you make after making the wrong one.

DUI & Leaving The Scene of An Accident

Look no further than Peter Lederman when it comes to DUI! He is pricier than others but he is without a doubt worth every penny. I did a lot of research online which led me to Mr. Lederman. I met with him and also a few other attorneys, but none of them gave me the peace of mine Peter gave me upon me...eting him. He is very blunt and thoroughly explains everything in detail about the process, pro's and cons and possible outcomes. He makes you do some "homework" and complete a few tasks but it's nothing major and all for your benefit in court. I had a BAC of 1.2 and I was facing about a year & a half of suspension for DUI & leaving the scene of an accident and ended up having all charges reduced to a careless driving and a 60 day suspension. The day of court the judge even congratulated him for doing such a fine job, and when we walked out two of the cops came outside in awe and shook his hand and said they've never witnessed that. I am eternally grateful to Peter for doing such an amazing job. Without a doubt he is the BEST of the BEST!!!!

Unparalleled professionalism and expertise

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Mr. Lederman's representation. I was facing substantial fines and a loss of license for 7-12 months. Mr. Lederman was able to successfully negotiate a much less impactful deal, allowing me to keep my CDL privileges and pay a reduced amount in fines. Thank... you for the help and life advice!

Look no Further

Anyone seeking representation for DUI and/or DWI in New Jersey would be making a huge mistake by retaining anyone other than Mr. Lederman. His handling of my case went beyond my expectations and then some. DWI charges are a serious matter, and you can't risk having anyone in your corner without the... professionalism knowledge that Mr. Lederman possesses. He turned what I thought was a hopeless case into a successful outcome. Don't ever drink and drive in New Jersey, but if you make the mistake (like I did) make sure to hire the best, Peter Lederman.

An Expert in his Field!

I was facing a DUI with a 7 month suspension. While I had plenty of referrals for lawyers from friends and family to use I am so glad I decided to do research and found avvo.com. The reviews led me to Mr. Lederman and the reviews don't lie. Mr. Lederman is great! Being very unknown in the laws a...nd court systems, Mr. Lederman spent the time to explain and go over everything and answered any questions I had. He walked me through the process and gave me a peace of mind during the long process when I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. He was able to get the DUI down to reckless driving with a 90 day suspension. He knows what he is talking about and will give you straight information and not sugar coat the bad stuff. I fully recommend him if you are facing DUI charges in NJ.

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"
