Simply the Best - Highly Respected Attorney

I consulted with many attorneys to determine who would be the best fit to represent me in my very serious case. Once I spoke to Pete I realized that I found the right man. During the initial consultation he made me feel at ease and discussed the potential outcomes and the way that we would approach... each charge and I had quite a few. If convicted of these charges I could have lost my driving priveleges for over a year, required an interlocking device in my car, would have had to attend many hours of IDRC classes and would have had to pay approximately $10,000 in fines! I would have also had these convictions on my record permanently! Having these convictions would have very likely excluded me from consideration on future job applications. When Pete provided me with the retainer amount it was quite a bit more than what some other attorneys were charging but I knew I had to pull the trigger knowing that no one could represent me better than Pete. Fast forward to post court appearance Pete got ALL SERIOUS CHARGES DISMISSED!!! I simply accepted a moving violation. Pete ended up saving me thousands and thousands of dollars in the long run and he kept these serious convictions off of my record. I now don't have to worry about having these convictions prevent me from getting a job in the future. You really can't quantify the monetary impact here but it is VERY substantial. Please do yourself a favor and retain Pete Lederman and you WILL NOT be disappointed with the outcome! Thank you Pete for getting me a near impossible outcome!

Fantastic Lawyer - Highly Recommended

Peter is an amazing attorney. From the day I contacted him I knew I made the right choice. Although this was my first offense, my BAC was very high and it happened in a school zone with an accident involved. I was looking at a 1-2 year suspension of my drivers license and maybe even jail time. Pe...ter was able to examine the evidence and present an amazing defense. We went to trial and Peter was able to get the BAC excluded from evidence. The school zone issue along with a careless driving ticket were also dismissed. I walked away with a 90 day first offense suspension and no interlock device needed after that. This was more then I could have hoped for. If you are reading this and are in need of a DUI lawyer look no further. Hire Peter!

Incredible!

I searched for best DWI lawyers in NJ, and Peter Lederman's name came up. I've received many tickets (including one for alcohol container in the vehicle) and was understandably worried about my options and the possible effect on my life. After talking to Peter, I was confident I was in good hands. H...e is very knowledgeable and loves his job! He truly cared about my case, which made me feel even more at ease. I cannot say enough good words about the experience and I praise his wisdom. The most incredible part is that all tickets got dismissed and I was left with Reckless Driving, allowing me an opportunity to live my life fully and be the best I can be. I will be forever grateful. Thank you Peter!

Outstanding Results - Highly Recommended

Peter Lederman is a true expert in his field. My case included a DUI, excessive speeding, reckless and several other moving violations. I was facing DUI with 7 most suspension and all that goes with it. Peter was able to reduce all of this to a reckless driving ticket with 90 day suspension. If you ...are in need of counsel for DUI, hire Peter without question.

J.G.

To those of you who are in doubt of which firm or attorney to hire or what step to take next or what your future holds, rest assured that when you hire Mr. Peter Lederman to represent you in a DUI OR DWI charge, you are hiring someone who knows the law like the back of his hand. Peter is the only ...attorney who for the first time ever, looked me in the face and said "you do have rights" instead of the usual reprimanding I have gotten from other attorneys so that when they alleviate some of the charges in the end you feel like they did a great job, Peter did not play that game at all, he was straight up and honest with me and told me where I stand and what he feels he will be able to do for me and did exactly that standing by his word which is unfortunately unusual when it comes to many other attorneys. This is also in part that he knows the law and knows his profession very well and is extremely knoweleagable and proficient in his field of the law. Peter only takes on DUI or DWI cases which makes total sense to me know and that's who you will want representing you in such a serious charge which can and usually does change your current life situation and the way you live your life. My license and being able to drive to and from work in the Tri-state area means being able to support my family or not and Peter totally understands that being that he is also a family man and an honest man. Peter is the first attorney who during our initial introductory meeting, looked me in the face and said "Joe, you do have rights and I will do my best to uphold those rights to give you the best possible outcome". From that point on I felt I was in great hands and not only was he a man of his word but his staff also made the whole process a much more stress free one. I initially hired another attorney who is someone I know very well and someone who has represented me prior to this case and after speaking to a friend who also hired Mr. Lederman in a DUI case instructed me on how happy he was that he also switched over to being represented by Peter Lederman. I could go on and on, one paragraph after another explaining how I have hired other attorneys in my life for various reasons (business and personal) but Peter is by far the most reliable, thorough, professional and best attorney who has represented me to date! Please understand that after reading my review that I am not a person who is so easy to boast about someone who I pay to do their job especially in the "Legal business" but Mr. Lederman is for sure 100% worthy of what I have to say in the above paragraphs. I would say that not only is Peter a super attorney but a super and real person. HIRE PETER LEDERMAN AND KNOW YOU HAVE HIRED THE BEST DUI ATTORNEY WHO WILL GIVE YOU THE CHANCE YOU DESERVE TO MOVE ON WITH LIFE WITH NO REGRETS ON WHO YOU HAVE REPRESENTING YOU. P.S. Peter had my DUI dismissed which I will forever be greatful and now I can move on with life with my family. J.G.

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"
