DUI

I researched for the best DUI lawyer and came across Mr. Lederman, I had no idea just how great a lawyer and person he is. He is very blunt with you and you may not like some of the things he says at first but after a little while it sinks in and you appreciate the honesty he provides. He is very met...iculous and explains step by step how he will work the case which provided such a great sense of ease during my terrible situation. He managed to turn my 2nd DUI into reckless driving which is amazing, there are so many fines/community hours/long term suspensions that I could have received instead. I advise everyone going thru a DUI/DWI case to choose Mr. Lederman, you will be floored by how happy you'll be when you get such a great outcome. Thank you Mr. Lederman and Team!

DWI and Refusal Dismissed

I thought the world was going to end when I got pulled over for DWI/Refusal. My wife and I did some research and met with Peter. We hired him on the spot. Yes, he was a bit more expensive but he is worth every penny. Peter is tough but kind, there were a few times I did not like what he had to say... and he sensed my frustration. He broke it down where it made sense to me and it turned out to be the right decision. He also is there to serve “YOU” he doesn’t do anything unless you give the go ahead. His knowledge of the law is ridiculous and I recommend you do what he ask you to do. In closing Peter and Jessica are great. They made this horrible mistake I made bearable and I am forever grateful. I would not go anywhere else, because I believe your chances of getting a favorable outcome are greater with Peter Lederman.

Had a DUI and reckless Mr. Lederman was successful and had them drop the DUI

Mr. Lederman told me he was the best and then he went about proving it. They dropped the DUI and I was charged with reckless. I payed the fine and did not lose my driving privileges!

Unparalleled professionalism and expertise

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Mr. Lederman's representation. I was facing substantial fines and a loss of license for 7-12 months. Mr. Lederman was able to successfully negotiate a much less impactful deal, allowing me to keep my CDL privileges and pay a reduced amount in fines. Thank... you for the help and life advice!

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"
