This guy knows his stuff

It's obvious off the bat that Peter is an expert in his field. He has a thorough understanding of the subject matter he deals with, and his confident performance in court is nothing short of amazing. He was able to achieve more than what I thought in my case, and the price could certainly not be beat.... A solid lawyer you want on your side.

exceeded my expectations in every way

Mr. Lederman exceeded my expectations in every way. He is a leader in his field, and brings to the table unmatched experience. His knowledge and expertise proved crucial in the favorable outcome of my case. Mr Lederman prepared me at every step, explaining the process and providing sound advice so th...at I learned from the experience. He and his staff handled my case with care and patience, taking as much time as needed in our phone conversations and in-person meetings. I most appreciated Peter's willingness to take a tough position when representing me. He went over and above and I am grateful for his time and effort.

Outstanding attorney and human

My DWI arrest as the single most tumultuous and terrifying event of my life. In hindsight, I was hopelessly and appallingly unaware of the process, ramifications and legal proceedings. My career and professional reputation were both on the line. A friend assisted me in researching attorneys and she... unveiled this spectacular individual. Simply put, Mr. Lederman will provide you with the support and expertise to not only survive the event but use it as a turning point. Do precisely what he says and trust his wisdom. Listen to his advice regarding use of substances. He will guide you without judgment. Jessica, his assistant, is an utterly helpful and genuine woman. To echo another poster below, I never thought I would be in this situation and I never will again. Thank you, thank you Mr. Lederman.

outstanding

Peter Lederman was top notch from beginning to end in my case. He knows every aspect of the law inside and out. He was able to basically destroy the witness in my 3rd due case with brilliance and ease. He is so passionate about his job and will fight for you to the end. He was able to win my 3rd due ...case and have it thrown out. Such an amazing attorney. Anyone using Mr. Lederman will be so grateful they did!!

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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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"
