Look no Further
Anyone seeking representation for DUI and/or DWI in New Jersey would be making a huge mistake by retaining anyone other than Mr. Lederman. His handling of my case went beyond my expectations and then some. DWI charges are a serious matter, and you can't risk having anyone in your corner without the...

An Expert in his Field!
I was facing a DUI with a 7 month suspension. While I had plenty of referrals for lawyers from friends and family to use I am so glad I decided to do research and found avvo.com. The reviews led me to Mr. Lederman and the reviews don't lie. Mr. Lederman is great! Being very unknown in the laws a...

A DUI case Lawyer that excels in his field!
After receiving an embarrassing DUI, I immedediatly contacted Peter for consult. During the time we had to prepare our case, he went over every second of time, from my account, and of Police footage, looking for inadequecies and flaws, which can support my case. He knows The Laws, and uses them to pr...

2nd dui and refusal dismissed!

AWSOME LAWYER
Mr. Lederman more than fulfilled his agreement to help me in a DWI matter. He reduced my charges down to a 90 day suspension for reckless driving. The prosecutor wanted a 7 month suspension and DWI. Mr. Lederman is very professional, knowledgeable and confident in what he does. I would recommend...
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."
