WON MY CASE!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A year ago I was facing a (second offense) DUI charge in in a school zone (which doubles the penalty), with failure to submit Breathalyzer test, blood drawn and numerous other point-related offenses, on top of it all I also had a very bad driving abstract, I knew I was facing life changing charges.... Peter was able to get me off with no charges! He saved my life! I can say I've learned my lesson and the best attorney I've ever worked for. If your in a tough spot I highly recommend Peter to be your attorney.

Praise later, Hire NOW!

Mr Peter. Lederman represented me in my dwi case, for a small town in nj called South river. My case dragged out for a couple weeks short of a year. As with any serious matter in life, obviously it was stressful and nerve wrecking from the moment I was charged with a dwi to my final court date. I con...sulted with Mr. Lederman and was immediately relieved and felt a sense of hope upon leaving his office. Now i would like to mention at the time Peter was referred to me I had already hired and PAID for an attorney for my case, but I was told at very least meet with the guy, and so I did. I met with him and I was a little discouraged because at the time the price tag seemed a little high, and again I had already hired and paid for another attorney. We sat down, we talked, we laughed and then we got serious. Peter is straightforward and blunt, if your looking for someone to tell you a fairy tale and or to lead you on, then hire any other attorney. Peter and his team take steps prior to your hearing to help your case. Make sure you follow these steps!! He will not bullshit you and he will not hold your hand, you tell him what you would potentially like the outcome to be and he'll give it to you straight! Everything was on the line for me, my job, my apartment, my livelihood. I had no clarity whatsoever due to this case. I blew 2.5 times over the legal limit. To make a long story short i was hoping for anything, but a dwi conviction. We aimed for a wreck less driving and I walked out with a careless driving conviction. Which is better than a wreck less driving ticket and obviously ten times better than a dwi conviction. If I could have fast forwarded from the time I met him to my final hearing, I would have paid him DOUBLE what he was asking. I did the same thing your doing now, I looked him up, I read these very same reviews that I'm writing, and that's why I decided to meet him. HIRE PETER! And most importantly follow the steps he asks you to take. Obviously everyone's results will be different, but I can guarantee you his results will be much better than you anticipate, and better than anyone else you could potentially hire. Good luck folks, you won't regret it! P.s the craziest part of my experience with all this, after my case was finally resolved. I only paid $228 dollars in fines. I still don't understand how he pulled that off. Good luck, praise later, HIRE NOW! -Moe

The Best Attorney for DUI

First of all let me say this is going to cost you $$$. When you add up all the costs for a DUI vs mr Lederman they are probably about =. This was my first arrest for DUI in New Jersey, but third in my lifetime. Upon meeting with Mr. Lederman he seems extremely confident almost arrogant. (For good rea...son) He can walk the walk! Mr. Lederman attacked the entire traffic stop video supplied by the state. After our meeting, gave three options. He followed through on all of them. In the end something he noticed the officer say, almost got mu DUI thrown out completely. End result= Reckless Driving, 30 day suspension on a 3 DUI. Even the Judge had to make a point on record, stating he had never heard of this in 30 years. You will put in work, counseling, meetings, etc. if you want him to do what he does. No free ride. But it was worth every penny. As a consequence I no longer drink as well. Summation- 180 days in jail and countless fines/classes etc vs. 30 day licence suspension/200$ fine and road to recovery. You be the judge. Thank you from myself, my wife and family.

DUI Dropped!

When you get a DUI you wonder if you should pay a little extra to hire a lawyer when you're fairly certain you're going to be guilty. After searching, I came across Peter who offered a more than reasonable price (with payment plans) and made me feel absolutely comfortable within the realms of my case.... With Peer by y side, we thoroughly reviewed the case and due to his years of experience he was able to find many flaws in the officer's ways when placing me under arrest and administering tests. At the end of the day, because of Peter's highly personable approach and great recommendations, my DUI charge where I was at risk of losing my license for 7 months was dropped to just a Reckless Driving charge and a 60 day license suspension. I couldn't be more happy with Peter representing me and I felt safe and confident in every step of the way.

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"
