GREATEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!

I was facing my second DUI along with a refusal and an array of other charges, 5 all together. I happen to be looking on this site that I am writing this review on, in search of an attorney that wouldn't just take my money like my first DUI I faced. I happened to stumble on Mr. Lederman's reviews an...d everyone seemed satisfied by his performance, so I decided to meet up with him, and he was very upfront and honest, and did not promise me anything, but I did feel like he would give his all in my case. Here I am almost a year later facing a 4 year suspension, and over 10 grand in fines, and today I walked out of court with a 6 month suspension, and under $300 in fines. I just want to say thank you to Mr. Lederman and his paralegal Jessica, for never giving up. To all the people that are reading this, not only is Mr. Lederman the greatest lawyer, he really cares about your well being and safety.

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...nd court systems, Mr. Lederman spent the time to explain and go over everything and answered any questions I had. He walked me through the process and gave me a peace of mind during the long process when I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. He was able to get the DUI down to reckless driving with a 90 day suspension. He knows what he is talking about and will give you straight information and not sugar coat the bad stuff. I fully recommend him if you are facing DUI charges in NJ.

2nd dui and refusal dismissed!

If you're looking for a great dui lawyer look no further. Mr lederman is the man. I was facing a 4 year suspension for a dui and refusal, but mr lederman using his several decades of experience got both dismissed. My first dui conviction was because i got the wrong lawyer. A lawyer who had no experie...nce in dui and it showed. He took my money and ran. I made sure i didnt make that mistake again. I did research and it brought me to mr lederman. Money well spent!

In Good Hands - You Get What You Pay For & More

I ran into some trouble, no pun intended. I was facing very serious consequences. The first thing I did, was, of course, to do on line searches based on my case. Several firms, and names came up that specialized in this particular field of DUI/DWI. I proceeded to call the different suggestions ba...sed on the online reviews. When I called Mr. Lederman’s office, I had a feeling my search was over. Immediately, his staff was courteous and professional but above all empathetic. I was told Mr. Lederman would call me back that same day. Within an hour, I had the “call.” That call, actually really changed my life. More than just handling the legal aspects of my case, I sensed that Mr. Lederman was about more. He was about arriving at the root cause and addressing how to resolve the matter at the core. He made me realize that I had to take ownership of the issue and to come up with a plan on how to go forward. It is this, that was key in my defense. He was then able to easily demonstrate to the justice system, that while yes, I had erred, I did enact a plan to not only change the behavior but to ensure the safety and wellbeing of others. In person, his care and demeanor were simply magnified with his quirky sense of humor. He is a very astute man and very capable in his field. He views the issue at hand and devises winning strategies. In a sense, you become a team member and he coaches you on how to enact the appropriate change. Because of his extensive expertise and experience he is well connected with the right group of people who also are able to view the situation and further the actions towards successful outcomes. I was referred to people he has worked with in the past. At first, of course, one may think, this is just a ploy to get more money out of you. It isn’t. Everything that was recommended was with and for good reasons. I faced 4 years’ loss of driving privileges at the very least. I did end up with just a 6 month suspension. After all, I did have to take responsibility for my actions. But the process helped me. His way was the right way. He is worth every penny. I’ve had to hire a lawyer in a previous similar case. I only wish I had done as much research as I did this time. Had I had Mr. Lederman in that instance, I probably wouldn’t have had this second experience. Old adage truly applies, you get what you pay for in life. Thank you Mr. Lederman, Jessica and the rest of the team. Awesome ethic!

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"
