Stupendous
I was stopped for a d.u.i and I couldn't even imagine what my outcome was going to be. Once i met Mr. Lederman, he gave me numerous pointers of how the case would turn out. He has a highly skilled team that gets every piece of evidence you will need for your case. They will always keep in contact wi...

Great Attorney
I was pulled for DUI with a quite high BAC level. Peter's expertise and “knowing the ropes” got me through the process with a minimal amount of punishment. His professionalism and knowledge of the system was quite amazing and I would definitely suggest using Peter to anyone who may get into an incide...

Would recommend again and again
When I found myself with an unfortunate DWI charge, I really was not sure how to handle it. In doing some research, I found that Peter Lederman had an impressive resume and gave him a call. Within our first meeting, some of my initial anxiety from the situation was alleviated based on his obvious exp...

Great Representation with a personal touch
When I found myself in the unfortunate situation of needing a DUI lawyer in New Jersey, I was referred to Peter Lederman. I called a close friend with lots of connections in NJ and he said, "If I were in your situation I would use Peter Lederman." When I retained Peter's services he immediately beg...
Peter H Lederman's Lawyer Endorsements
"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 authority in the field of DUI/DWI, and I have consulted with him regarding several complex issues. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients."
"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."
"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"
"I had the benefit of attending an intensive series of DWI classes taught by Peter. He is an authority on DWI law and always makes himself available to clients and colleagues."
