Peter H Lederman

This is the attorney you want to represent you, hands down and here’s why. After a combination of bad choices and some misrepresentation, I ended up with a couple of DUIs on my record early in my youth (18 yrs of age or so). Fast forward to my 40’s, I made the same mistake again with the severe co...nsequences looming for multiple DUIs, I wanted to get the best representation possible. I reached out to Mr. Lederman after reading his reviews and I have to say, he was everything I had read he was, and more. He treated me with utmost respect, and helped me get my life back on track. He went above and beyond what any prior attorney had done to get me the minimum sentence. He went back through every prior DUI and had one of them officially removed from my record. The staff were responsive, helpful and always stayed in contact and kept me 100% up to date on all that was going on. Peter did exactly what he said he would do, is extremely smart and knowledgeable on the law, and can confidently stand behind his word. He was no nonsense and up front with me right from the first meeting, and was accurately able to predict the outcome of the case. I cannot thank him enough.

In the summer of 2019, I found myself at a critical turning point in my life, but not the type of turning point you might expect on this site. I was waiting to start a new job out of state in the fall of 2019 and thought the jersey shore would be a wonderful place to spend some time while I waited. I...t certainly was. At least until I made a mistake that had the potential to cost me the career I was so anxiously awaiting. In mid-summer I concluded a day at the beach with dinner and a few drinks before heading home. This was totally out of character for me and only minutes later I learned a hard lesson, when I saw lights in my rear-view mirror. I was pulled over for a minor traffic violation and was soon asked to step out of the car. If you are reading this, you likely know firsthand how the rest of this story goes. I was eventually charged with a second tier DWI due to having a BAC of .17. I faced fines, insurance surcharges, a license suspension, placement of an interlock device in my vehicle, embarrassment and, at best, difficulty with my future job. If you have found yourself in a similar predicament then rest assured that I understand the feeling of devastation and emotional turmoil you are feeling. I also know someone who can help you. This is not something you can or should face alone. You need Peter H. Lederman. In the days following my DWI I reviewed at least twenty DWI Defense attorney bios and contacted nearly as many by phone. From the first time I spoke with Peter it was clear that he was in a class of his own. After meeting him in person, I knew right away that he was the best of the best. I immediately retained Peter and later met with him to discuss the specifics of my case. He proved once again that I had made the right choice. Peter meticulously went through every detail of my case and clearly explained to me every challenge and each positive factor involved. He thoroughly answered every question that I had and, end the end, allowed me to make the decision regarding what outcome I would settle for. Peter helped me weigh the pros and cons and then stood firmly behind my decision to seek amendment of the DWI to reckless driving - even though this was a longshot and would require a trial. Over the course of the following months my trial was rescheduled multiple times. Peter and his staff, Jessica and Noreen, proved to be available, attentive and proactive in every action that was taken. If there was a single positive experience in this entire series of events, it was working with these three individuals. I’m not sure I have ever worked with such a cohesive, professional and courteous group. This, at least, gave me back some sense of dignity and pride during these tumultuous months. Finally, the day of my trial arrived. Peter advocated for me and fought for the outcome I needed, even though it seemed impossible. It seemed impossible until Peter Lederman made it happen. My 2nd Tier DWI with a BAC of .17 was reduced to reckless driving! In the subsequent moments when I shook Peter’s hand it felt like my life was given back to me. I simply do not have words to express how grateful I am for Peter, Jessica and Noreen. With this experience behind me I now know that the worst decision I’ve ever made – getting behind the wheel - got me into this situation. I also know that the best decision I ever made – hiring Peter Lederman – got me out of this situation. If you are in a similar situation, do not second guess yourself. Regardless of the outcome, you will not regret hiring Peter.

My goodness where do I begin, Mr. Lederman is an exceptional attorney, worth every penny!!!! I was facing a second DWI, and refusal which is technically a four year suspension. Mr. Lederman is straightforward and tells it like it is, he doesn’t sugarcoat, he presents to you all the possible outcome...s... but this man fights a hard fight and doesn’t give up!!! After quite some time fighting this battle, and him presenting all possible materials needed for this case, I was able to receive a reckless and 40 day suspension!!!! I can not thank Mr. Lederman and his awesome secretaries Jessica and Noreen for being so patient and nice to me every time! ANY DWI/DUI cases, Mr. Lederman is the man for it!!! I cannot thank him enough. I’m still in shock how amazing he did

Peter strictly handles DUIs. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable and his paralegals Jessica and Noreen were very easy to work with and highly organized. Peter attacks your case from all angles. He has a thorough knowledge of field sobriety testing procedure as well as alcotest machine pro...tocol. I received a DUI with a very high BAC. Because of Peter's attention to detail, knowlege of the protocols and procedures, and highly organized and professional handling of every aspect of my case he was able to reduce my charges to a careless driving ticket and 30 day suspension of my license with no DUI or an arrest on my record. For me, this was an incredible outcome. I am very happy that I chose Peter to represent me. He was absolutely worth the money, and I would recommend him with no hesitation.

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.
