Best in the field! DUI specialist!

I had been charged with a dui for prescription meds if convicted I would have received a second dui. With the evidence shown and peter professional degree in law peter got the dui dismissed and I plead to the reckless driving no loss of license 230 in fines Mr Ledermen is a magnificent attorney and ...I would highly recommend him.

2nd dui case, and a refusal

Peter, is an expert at working out a win win situation that is favorable for his clients. I was able due to Peter focussing on the facts of the case with the prosecutor to walk out of court on my 2 offense in NJ, with a careless driving, not a wreck less but a careless. Peter is very blunt, however... he knows dui law, period. A lot of prosecutors do not want to go to trial with him because it will be a death match. Peter will also tell you straight, to be smart and don't call me anymore. He's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you make a mistake, and get yourself in a bind, call Peter Lederman Everytime. From my family to yours thank you sir... Nt

A Blessed and Worthy Decision

Peter Lederman was, referred to us by a policeman friend. As such, to the highest degree and without any hesitations or reservations, I will recommend Atty Peter Lederman, as the most worthy and knowledgeable lawyer to protect your rights in a DUI/DWI cases in New Jersey. Peter and his paralegal as...sistants: Jessica and Noreen, are so passionate when it comes to legally representing clients and so admirable for their awareness of your overall concerns while the case is ongoing. Hiring a lawyer for a DUI charge was one of those very unfortunate expenditures in my life….” a huge bump along my life’s journey”. I initially thought of it very depressing and stupidly expensive; realizing however even before the outcome of my cases as to how blessed and worthy my decision was hiring Atty. Peter Lederman. Right after the handshake (within 1.5 hours) the work started – getting a call from Jessica, that my court date will be moved relative to my defense team’s request of important documents. In business and professional life, we always cherish those deals where rewards extremely exceeded our expectations. I will forever cherish and humbly consider this deal with Peter and his team as currently the number one on the list and surely will be very hard to break. I’m very grateful I was not hurt or anybody else during this unfortunate incident whereby I slept and totally wrecked the car, driving from a party where I consumed alcohol – personally considered moderately enough for me to handle. Since the incident up to the time of judgement, Peter, made it possible for me to continuously drive legally.

Life saver

I was referred to Mr. Lederman by a friend who had been in a similar situation as my own and had nothing but great things to say about his experience with Mr. Lederman. Mr. Lederman was great from day one. He was honest about the severity of my situation, my BAC was very high so i was facing a lon...ger loss of license as well as having an Interlock device installed in the car but he was also very caring and understanding and stuck to his word that he would do everything he could to get me the best possible outcome. 10 months later, Mr. lederman delivered on his word. My charges were completely dismissed!! He is worth every penny!!!!

Worth. Every. Penny.

I was referred to Mr. Lederman and his team by a friend who found himself in a similar predicament. I had just started my career at a hospital and a month later I found myself in this mess. I can not even begin to explain the amount of stress this entire ordeal has caused me. The thought of losing my... job, and the implications that a DUI could have in regards to traveling abroad had me in shambles. However, Mr. Lederman, Jessica, and Noreen were extremely diligent with my case and did not let let even one thing slip by. Mr. Lederman is not only an AMAZING lawyer, but such a good person. He understands everything his clients are going through and does everything he can to defend them. However, he does not mince words, and he will give you everything straight up but believe me when I say he comes prepared for war in that courtroom. A year and a half and a half a dozen court dates later, I was able to walk away with a careless driving charge and $300 fine. I now have a second chance to learn from my mistakes. If you are looking for representation, stop right now and call this 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"
