Beat a 2nd DUI

Case details: 2nd DUI BAC .11 (.08 legal limit) No accident Flemington Borough, NJ Outcome: Reckless Driving vs. 2nd DUI 45 day license suspension vs. 2 years $2,000 savings in surcharge fees Cost: While I'm sure you can find another lawyer to handle your case for less, I wouldn'...t recommend it. I originally hired another lawyer for less, but it was clear that he was not a top tier DUI lawyer after some time. I decided to contact a couple of lawyers who seemed to be the "premier" DUI lawyers in the state which led me to Mr. Lederman and another lawyer. The other lawyer wanted twice the money than what Mr. Lederman asked for. Customer Experience: Professional, patient, timely response to any questions, and friendly staff. Overall: In my experience, he is the best option for a DUI with a reasonable price. He will give you "homework", so it is important to do your part and help him help you.

CASE CLOSED 12/2013

In June of 2013, I was on my way from MD to New York when I was arrested in NJ. I had a list of charges ranging from DWI to reckless driving. I hold a very high security clearance for the Federal government and cannot afford any blemishes on my record. I did a good deal of researching for good lawyer...s. I got with Peter Lederman. From the day I retained him; I spoke to him and he gave me a list of things to do from the start to properly equip, defend and prepare myself for the situation. He or his office kept in touch with me on a regular basis. I more so spoke to his executive assistances Jessica, and Maureen. Jessica made sure that we spoke on a regular basis and asked if I had any questions. I always received notice from Mr. Lederman's office prior to getting notices from the court. Living in MD it was very stressful to travel back and forth so Mr. Lederman made sure I did not need to appear in a NJ courtroom for over Christmas holidays. I finally had my court date late 2013. All but one charge were dismissed and I had a small fee to pay. I am very grateful to Mr. Lederman and his office. I would recommend him to ANYONE that wants a GOOD lawyer that is well experienced and knows what he is doing.

Extraordinary Lawyer

Mr. Lederman is one of those people that I will never forget in my lifetime. I had an exceptional experience with him as he handled one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. He did not just get me results that blew away my expectations, but he taught me life lessons and turned a nasty problem i...nto a stepping stone that will allow me to improve as a person. His understanding approach and wise words taught me about how I can become a better individual and avoid legal problems in the future. Legally, Mr. Lederman handled my case with extreme care and dedication which made me extremely comfortable that he would be able to get the outcome that I desired. His staff was extremely professional and always kept me informed about events that I needed to know about. When I had my day in court, Mr. Lederman was by my side to walk me through the process and keep me informed about the updates in my case. I could not be any happier with the outcome in the case and the effort and help that Mr. Lederman gave to my life. I would recommend Mr. Lederman to anyone that faced the same problems that I have faced. His process is not one that will just help one legally, but it will help one improve and learn from mistakes that have been made. I could not have dreamed of a better lawyer and I would not choose any other lawyer for the situation that I was put in.

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"
