Hands down the best choice for DUI cases in NJ

After falling asleep in a parking lot back in December 2014 and being woken up to the tap of a police officers flashlight on my window; I was facing a second DUI charge, the loss of my job, and the hefty fines and penalties that come with it. After reading others reviews on avvo, I decided to schedu...le a meeting with Mr. Lederman. From the time I stepped into the office, to the time I left after the consultation there was no denying that I had found the lawyer who was going to represent me. Mr. Lederman is a consummate professional and has a way of inspiring confidence and a sense of easing when speaking to him about such cases. He can be tough and asks you to do things other lawyers may not, but it becomes clear very quickly that he has a system in place and it certainly works! After the first appearance in court it seemed that we may be able to get the charges reduced to a reckless driving with some small fines, but nothing was a guarantee at that point. By the time my second appearance came around, Mr. Lederman worked diligently with the prosecutor and reviewed my case in depth. The end result was phenomenal, instead of being charged with a second DUI and facing two years of license suspension, Mr. Lederman was able to get the dui dropped. After several hundred dollars in fines and a reckless driving conviction, my case is resolved and I couldn' t be more happy with the results. If you are reading this and are debating whether or not to retain Mr. Lederman. Please know this review is 100% truthful and rest assured that Mr. Lederman is the man for the job when it comes to any DUI case in NJ.

Best DWI attorney in NJ

When I ran into trouble, I was recommended Mr. Lederman without contest by a friend who was also a former client. I am so glad I listened to this advice. Mr. Lederman is experienced, intelligent, smart, thorough, professional and is the best attorney you can hire. He is second to none and if you ...find yourself in need of a DUI attorney, please you do yourself a favor and do not even consider anyone else. Mr. Lederman and his team worked consistently on my case over the entire duration, never relenting. They did a stellar job examining every piece of the discovery and pursuing every angle of my case. When the state was unable to provide all the evidence from the discovery, Peter was able to negotiate a dismissal of my case entirely. Mr. Lederman has given me a new lease on life that I am truly grateful for. I highly recommend Mr. Lederman's work and would never recommend anyone else.

my second dui in jersey city

I wanna congradulate, Mr. Lederman on an sensational, oustanding, fantastic, amazing, superb, wonderful, and prfessional job today inregards to my second DUI... Its was the longest stressful 6 months i ever experienced in my life.. I do construction, im a union memebr and have been in the business f...or ten years now and one of your requirements is to have your license, without your license you can become a member if your in the process of getting them but for any reason they get suspeneded, you cud no longer become a member.. Today my livelihood was on the line, not knowing how i would be able to pay my mortgage, provide for my family, take care my bills etc etc, all sorts of crazy things was going through my head and by me having my Class A CDL, they were even harder on me, and will be on anyone else , who catch a dui/dwi and have cdl.. Two years suspension, 48 detox, 3k a year surcharge, penalties and fines, 16 sessions counselling and whatever else that came with it, my cdl, and endorsements all would have went up in flames after all the monies i done put into getting my license back in 2006, paying out of pocket for school to get my cdl and other endorsements.. With all this being said., with the HELP, the HARD WORK, the love and passion the he have for what he do and to help people, my livelihood was speared today and i received a second chance.. Mr. Lederman had a plan executed it and by all means if that didnt work, everytime we walked in court, bet your buns, he was ready for war.. My second dui and along with 5 other tickets a total of 6 tickets all together, Mr. Lederman was able to get all the tickets dismissed and had me plea guilty to just reckless driving, what a great job.. Im not telling anyone to go go drink and drive and you will get the same. i know we get big headed at times and we get away with it once or twice or quite a few times but if by any chance you get caught, you gonna wish you hadnt, trust and believe me its not worth it, the change you spend getting drunk, will cost you big bucks at the end, better hope you monies right before you do it.. Thank you Mr. Lederman on a wonderful job!!!!

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"
