Mr. Lederman, without a doubt, is the best of the best. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law to every minute detail. In terms of my case, the evidence was stacked against me and it seemed like I had no chance. However, though I don’t know too much about trial court, what I did know was tha...

Great Attorney
Peter has YEARS of experience and it showed during my trial. He was very friendly and did a good job of talking me through what were the strong points and weak points of my case. In the end, he educated the state trooper on the proper points of roadside sobriety testing and got my DWI charged droppe...

Peter Lederman is a true professional and exceptional attorney.
Peter Lederman represented me on a DUI case which seemed stacked against me. He thoroughly reviewed every aspect of my case from before, during, and after my arrest. He was able to find flaws in the testing SOPs and arrest protocols which resulted in a favorable outcome with a greatly reduced char...

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."
