Great work, dropped ticket

Peter was easy to work with from the start. When I first received the ticket I was extremely scared of losing my job and didn't know what to do. Peter and his paralegal were super friendly and walked me through the process. In the end he was able to get the ticket completely dropped so I could keep m...y job - I don't know if this would happen in every case, but he seems to try to get the best possible outcome no matter who the client is. I would recommend him to anyone who has gotten a DUI or DWI because he's good at what he does.

Highly Recommended

With the unfortunate reality of a second DUI in front of me, Peter Lederman came highly recommended. Upon my initial consultation, I was quite impressed. But that was even more solidified while sitting in court hearing him try my case. Fortunately, with his extreme depth of knowledge of every law ...pertaining to the case and his professional aggressiveness, he respectfully shut down the prosecutor and the arresting officer. It didn't take long before they were able to negotiate a reduction to reckless. While i still lost my license, it was a substantially favorable difference than what could have been. This was a learning experience for me and I thank God that Mr Lederman was able to facilitate the mercy that was given to me.

Highly Recommend To All!

I am a young man who was facing a DUI charge that had the potential to follow me for the rest of my life. Mr. Lederman was recommended to me and upon my initial meeting with him my concerns were significantly lessened. He was kind and I could tell he cared about helping people and treated me as a hum...an being and not just a client. Mr. Lederman was highly knowledgable in his field, and made sure he reviewed all aspects about the case to give me the best opportunity to fight it. He was able to get my DUI dropped and reduced my charge significantly, giving me the opportunity to continue my life without a DUI hanging over my head. Working with Mr. Lederman was truly a pleasure and he was able to produce a result for me that I did not believe was possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with a similar situation.

Greatest defense lawyer for DUI/DWI

I was facing a DWI and a refusal of the breathalyzer. There was so much at risk for me. I worked with Mr. Lederman and he is the most professional, respectful, truth telling person I’ve ever met. We were ready for my trial. Weighing in on all my risks I was ready to go. I won the case! Thanks so much... to Peter Lederman! Everything was dwindled down to a reckless driving and small fine. From having to deal with all the charges and fines including the installment of a blow and go I am so grateful for this man. Thank you so much! Do not question if you should have him as your defense attorney. He is the one you need.

My Experience With Peter Lederman

In life we sometimes make mistakes that can be life changing, and when we need help it is very important that you find the right help. I found Peter H. Lederman, and his knowledge truly blew me away along with his confidence and reassurance. This made me feel that I was getting the best legal advice... there was, and gave me a great peace of mind. He is professional beyond words and I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me as a client, but more so as a person. I will always turn to Peter anytime I need legal advice. A truly great lawyer, but more so a really great man!

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"
