Stupendous

I was stopped for a d.u.i and I couldn't even imagine what my outcome was going to be. Once i met Mr. Lederman, he gave me numerous pointers of how the case would turn out. He has a highly skilled team that gets every piece of evidence you will need for your case. They will always keep in contact wi...th you, answer any question you have, and Mr. Lederman's word is bond. If he says he can give you the best outcome, you better believe that will happen. As promised, he gave me the result he promised. I highly recommend Mr. Lederman if you need to win.

Best DWI Lawyer

Hands down one of the nicest lawyers to work with. Peter H. Lederman helped me overcome my first offense dwi that took nearly a year and a half to get a result. Extremely knowledgeable and worth everu penny. He stood by me the entire time and was not going to give up until we reached MY goal. Got my ...dwi reduced to a reckless driving. Thank you so much! I couldn't be more greatful.

The BEST DUI Attorney out there

Peter as a person is very caring and honest which to me is a great trait to have in a lawyer. He without a doubt treats you as person not just another number as most attorneys do. Peter is the best dui/dwi attorney there is. In the beginning stages he is very informative as to your individual situati...on as all cases are different. After explaining to Peter what had happened he then in return gives you all the scenarios that you could be facing when it comes to the charges. Once receiving all the discovery for the case he will then be able to tell you the best case scenario and worst case scenario so that there is no surprises the day of court. Going into my case I truly felt that I had backed myself into a corner and would be facing the worst case scenario for my particular situation. But much to my shock Peter had come through above and beyond what I could have even expected. To say that Peter won the case for me would be an understatement. He not only shocked and surprised me with the outcome he has given me a completely new twist on life once again. Along with the win and some extra encouraging words of wisdom after all was said and done he helped open a new light in life for one which will not be taken for granted again. So when looking for an attorney the only way to go would be to pick Peter Lederman because if you choose somebody else you will be just slighting yourself. Thanks again Peter for everything

Best by a Long Shot

¬¬Mr Lederman has been great since the beginning. I got a DWI in New Brunswick, NJ. Mr. Lederman told me what my best and worst case scenario form day one. He treated me as if we were related, and his genuine care for the matter is indescribable. During the “discover” phase he gave me new options, ba...sed on what he saw and his experience in the matter. At court, he was able to do even better than his prediction. I blew a .16 in the Breathalyzer (double the legal limit), which should have been 7 months – a year license suspension, interlock device for one year, surcharges of $1000 per year for 3 years, and potential loss of insurance, and I ended up with a reckless driving and 45 day license suspension. My suggestion is if you want someone to tell you as is and fight for you, go with mr lederman, and you wont regret the decision.

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.

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"
