Great Attorney!

Peter Lederman is an amazing attorney. He really saved my bacon considering the consequences I was facing. His attention to detail was second to none. I am incredibly grateful for his services. I would highly recommend him to anyone who gets a DWI. He walked me through every step and was genuine...ly concerned for my well being. Do yourself a favor and retain this guy. You won't be disappointed. Satisfied!

Amazing outcome!!!

My goodness where do I begin, Mr. Lederman is an exceptional attorney, worth every penny!!!! I was facing a second DWI, and refusal which is technically a four year suspension. Mr. Lederman is straightforward and tells it like it is, he doesn’t sugarcoat, he presents to you all the possible outcome...s... but this man fights a hard fight and doesn’t give up!!! After quite some time fighting this battle, and him presenting all possible materials needed for this case, I was able to receive a reckless and 40 day suspension!!!! I can not thank Mr. Lederman and his awesome secretaries Jessica and Noreen for being so patient and nice to me every time! ANY DWI/DUI cases, Mr. Lederman is the man for it!!! I cannot thank him enough. I’m still in shock how amazing he did

DUI

Mr. Lederman did an incredible job on my case. He is very knowledgable in DUI's, field sobriety testing, alcotest, and the judicial system. He is blunt with you about what can happen in court with your case and leaves you with nothing but honesty. He goes over your case with you piece by piece and ma...kes you feel comfortable about what is to come. He tells you like it is and prepares you. Mr. Lederman was able to wipe out my BAC number entirely with a special report that showed proof that the alcotest was done incorrectly, therefore, the BAC results were proven unreliable. I got a minimum of 90-day license suspension and I must attend the IDRC class. There are a few fines as well that go along with the DUI. I'm very happy with my results. This was my first offense and I could have lost my license for a lot longer if my BAC was provided and I may have needed to attend the IDRC class longer. I was lucky to have such a great lawyer to help me. I recommend hiring Mr. Lederman. You won't be disappointed.

DUI with High BAC

Peter strictly handles DUIs. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable and his paralegals Jessica and Noreen were very easy to work with and highly organized. Peter attacks your case from all angles. He has a thorough knowledge of field sobriety testing procedure as well as alcotest machine pro...tocol. I received a DUI with a very high BAC. Because of Peter's attention to detail, knowlege of the protocols and procedures, and highly organized and professional handling of every aspect of my case he was able to reduce my charges to a careless driving ticket and 30 day suspension of my license with no DUI or an arrest on my record. For me, this was an incredible outcome. I am very happy that I chose Peter to represent me. He was absolutely worth the money, and I would recommend him with no hesitation.

Excellent and knowledgeable, best case results

Peter is excellent at what he does and my case resulted in the best case scenario. He is informed and knows the laws and previous cases to reference, when necessary. I highly recommend Peter and think he is worth every penny. Thanks Peter!

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"
