Mr. Lederman and his staff were amazing. Mr. Lederman took the time to truly understand my goals and then based on my goals we discussed various potential paths and outcomes. He provided me with all the information for each outcome and allowed me to make the decision vs trying to sway me in one dir...ection or the other. I had 4 tickets 1 of which was a 1st DUI and after hiring Mr. Lederman I ended with a careless driving ticket. His staff is also amazing. They were very responsive and super respectful in their correspondence over email and voicemail. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation for DUI.

Best DUI Layer in NJ!!!!

I could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism I received at the law offices of Peter Lederman, Esq. His efficiency and dedication to my case far exceeded any expectations I could have hoped for. I was faced with multiple DUI’s and assorted traffic violations in numerous munic...ipalities throughout the state and was anticipating a grim outcome, to say the least. From the moment of my initial consultation Mr. Lederman gave me hope and had me convinced that he could provide me with the best-case scenario for my circumstances and he one hundred percent did not disappoint. Mr. Lederman went to bat for my case and I executed his ability with perfection. If anyone is looking for the best legal representation in the state of New Jersey for DUI or traffic offences, I cannot recommend the Law Offices of Pete Lederman, Esq enough.

Look no further, this guy is the real deal!

I used Peter Lederman in my dui case that I got back in August. Today it was resolved and I couldn't be happier. I have a class A cdl, and my first born child on the way. Its was very important to me to not have a dui on my driving record because due to my cdl, getting a cdl job with a dui on your re...cord is almost impossible. Peter did a great job representing me and the outcome was a downgrade to reckless driving. I only ended up loosing my license for 4 months but I could have lost it for 7 months to 1 year cause of my cdl. No dui surcharges, idrc, or interlock for me. Thanks Peter, will definitely be recommending you to others.

1st Dui

Mr. Lederman did an amazing job helping me with my case. I was facing a speeding ticket, reckless ticket, and a dui. He went above and beyond. He explained every option I had and what I could do. I highly recommend him over any other lawyer. I looked for awhile before I picked the right lawyer. And I... am so glad I chose him. He got everything dropped for me besides a 90 days suspension. But I was facing 7months, with a huge amount of fines, an interlock device, etc. My BAC got thrown out in court because of Mr. Lederman. He’s worth every dollar. He is very straight forward and tells you everything as it is. No sugar coating. You need help with a DUI? This is the man to talk to.

2nd DUI

I contacted Peter after receiving a 2nd dui. My irresponsibility caused me to face a 2nd dui within 5 years. I had used Peter for my first DUI and knew the knowledge and attention to detail he uses. He began building my case but also pushing me to rebuild my life via alcohol counseling and AA meeting...s. The case appeared to be a solid case against me but Peter attacked it from every possible angle. His preparation prior to trial was super, but it paled in comparison to his performance in the courtroom. I was left speechless when I witness how he took what appeared to be a open and shut case and convert it to a weak case. The knowledge that Peter holds and his ability to use it is nothing short than brilliant. At the end of the case, he convinced the prosecution to dismiss the DUI and instead charge me with a reckless and a 1 year suspension. Although one always wishes for a full dismissal, this is the best result possible. The consequences of a 2nd DUI are huge and there is no bargaining down. Peter's preparation, knowledge, and courtroom performance allowed me the opportunity to avoid a 2nd DUI and receive a lesser charge. If you find yourself in this predicament, make sure you hire the best... and the best is Peter. He is not a cheap lawyer but the cost of his services are well worth it. Remember, at the end you are in this position because of your own fault, you already made a mistake by drinking and driving, don't make another mistake by hiring a "cheap" lawyer because you will receive subpar "cheap" services. Even the judge mentioned at the end that we witnessed some fine "lawyer work" today in the courtroom. Thank you Peter for helping me and (I know you heard this before but ) sincerely I appreciate the new opportunity you afforded me and I will not be seeing you again, at least not for court issues; perhaps for a cigar one day, but this is my last mistake with alcohol. Thank you again for not only being a lawyer but also a mentor.

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"
