God Gift To A DUI & DWI Offender

Let me just start by saying Mr. Lederman is incredible. Here I found myself facing a DWI for the second time and this man came through and saved my life. Had I been convicted of this second DWI offense I would’ve had to deal with loosing a lot. My Job for one which is very important to anyone who wor...ks. Mr Lederman assured me that everything would be ok and it was! He got my second offense lowered to a reckless driving ticket with a small fine and most IMPORTANTLY Mr. Lederman kept my license from being suspended Again kept my license from being suspended. He is highly recommended to hire if you wish to seek good results. He is a expert at helping his clients deal with DUI and DWI case. It’s all because of Mr. Lederman that I’m able to be stress free and keep my job and I can’t thank this man enough. Thank GOD for Mr. Lederman. You should hire him if you ever in a situation like I was in or even worse. He will be 100% honest with you every step of the way and make sure you face the minimum consequences if any at all.

Exceptional Deal

If you want to hear your judge exclaim in front of the whole court room, "you received an exceptional deal" Peter Lederman is your guy. This is what happened to me and my case was not a in any way a cut and dried DWI. Even though it was a first offense there was a refusal, reckless driving, a secon...d moving violation and a criminal offense (eluding). Peter used his powers of persuasion on a VERY difficult and quirky prosecutor and got him to dismiss everything except the DWI with the minimum penalties. Don't waste your time working with anyone else.

Gave me a second chance

I could not be more greatful for the outstanding work Peter did on my case. My job is driving oriented. And a DUI is something i just could not have. My cause however was not your average DUI, and there was not to much in my favor. Peter not only got the DUI dropped, but managed to get me a careless ...drving minimal fine and 1 month suspension of license. I would recommend Peter to everyone. He came though 100%. Thanks again Peter!!

Look No Further

If you've gotten a DUI in the state of NJ like I did, take it from me -- you MUST talk to Peter. Peter Lederman prides himself on knowing more than anyone else -- cops, prosecutors, other attorneys -- about the laws and technicalities surrounding DUI in NJ -- because he studies and teaches them. It... amazed me how many aspects of my arrest the cop did incorrectly, from pulling me over, to my roadsides, to the breathalyzer. Unreal. And all of these things add up to a very weak case for the prosecutor. Peter was able to reduce my DUI to a reckless driving ticket. A TICKET!!! And ultimately saved me $5k+ in fines and fees, etc. (BTW, my blew a .14). I did lose my license for a period of time, but I do not have a DUI on my record that will follow me for the rest of my life. This is HUGE. And from what I know, its extremely rare for a prosecutor to agree to this. You can roll the dice with another lawyer, or you can guarantee yourself the strongest case and best outcome with Peter. Your call.

Counsellor Well Worth

I thought that my DUI conviction was a done deal once I got pulled over and arrested. I couldn’t have been more wrong about the outcome. Peter H Lederman, Counsellor At Law with Davison, Eastman, Munoz, Lederman & Paone P.A., is listed on Google as one of the best. In my opinion, he is the best. Hire... this gentleman if you're dealing with a DWI/DUI traffic violation. He litigated a traffic stop for a headlight infraction that turned into a DUI arrest back into a headlight infraction. Now that’s MAGIC! Thank you, Peter. Hiring you was the best decision I made concerning this learning experience.

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"
