Peter H Lederman

After receiving an embarrassing DUI, I immedediatly contacted Peter for consult. During the time we had to prepare our case, he went over every second of time, from my account, and of Police footage, looking for inadequecies and flaws, which can support my case. He knows The Laws, and uses them to pr...otect your rights. Peter and his assistant Jessica both are extremely professional, and always available for questions. Money well spent.

Thanks to Mr. Lederman and to the reviews on Avvo for helping me choose him as my lawyer. I was facing my 2nd DUI in 2 years! I was terrified and pretty much had given up hope. Mr. Lederman was very thorough and covered every basis. His guidance, advice, professionalism, and experience helped me get ...a reduced sentence. Even thought the police officer that issued the ticket didn't want to reduce the violation Mr. Lederman was able to convince him otherwise. I ended up receiving a wreckless driving charge and license suspension of 90 days. He's the best at what he does and if you have a DUI he is the only option.

Where do I start with my gratitude and sheer reverence for the excellent job Peter has done in both my DWI cases. I was facing a 3rd offense in 2009 , speeding when officer pulled me over, realized I had a few drinks, and charged me with DWI. Peter wrote an excellent PCR( Post Conviction Relief) pet...ition, which got my 2nd offense essentially thrown out , allowing the 3rd offense to become my 2nd for sentencing purposes. This got me 2 years suspension instead of 10 and no jail time. Peter accomplished this even though the petition was outside the 5 year period , he was able to persuade the judge to hear our PCR and agree to the relief! This was no small feat and took a lawyer with the knowledge and expertise Peter possesses to accomplish that. In 2014 , I was again in the same predicament , facing a 3rd offense after a car crash that only involved my car. I was not driving the vehicle when the officer arrived, but because I was noticeably intoxicated and the only person on the scene; the officer proceeded to arrest me and charge me with DWI. Blood was drawn to prove the intoxication and the case went to the courts. Peter filed motions to suppress the blood evidence and expertly argued the case before the superior court. He filed other motions to try to ensure all available defenses/legal arguments where presented. Through and because of Peter’s legal maneuvering , court felt they could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt , and dismissed the DWI ! I plead guilty to reckless driving with 30 days license suspension and court fines. I cannot express what this has done for my family, Peter has given us our future back , a fresh start. Not only did he do his job as my defense lawyer, he also took keen interest in my treatment . Peter challenged me to get help and do any and all available alcohol rehabilitation to get well and remove alcohol from my life. I am humbled by the opportunity I have been given, and I must say I could not have done it without Peter H. Lederman. He is the BEST DWI/DUI lawyer, hands down ! He knows the law, knows his way around the courts , and is a wonderful , caring human being! Peter is the perfect counter balance to the long arm of the law and justice system when it comes to DWI/DUI,; he is worth every penny and then some. He essential won two cases for me when all the chips were stacked against me. I urge anyone reading this, Peter is the real deal with a top notch staff supporting him, hire him and only him, you will not regret it. Thanks again Peter , my family will never forget what you have done for us, god bless you and yours !

First of all let me say this is going to cost you $$$. When you add up all the costs for a DUI vs mr Lederman they are probably about =. This was my first arrest for DUI in New Jersey, but third in my lifetime. Upon meeting with Mr. Lederman he seems extremely confident almost arrogant. (For good rea...son) He can walk the walk! Mr. Lederman attacked the entire traffic stop video supplied by the state. After our meeting, gave three options. He followed through on all of them. In the end something he noticed the officer say, almost got mu DUI thrown out completely. End result= Reckless Driving, 30 day suspension on a 3 DUI. Even the Judge had to make a point on record, stating he had never heard of this in 30 years. You will put in work, counseling, meetings, etc. if you want him to do what he does. No free ride. But it was worth every penny. As a consequence I no longer drink as well. Summation- 180 days in jail and countless fines/classes etc vs. 30 day licence suspension/200$ fine and road to recovery. You be the judge. Thank you from myself, my wife and family.

After receiving my DWI (first offense), I was fearful and unsure. At times, I found myself overcome with anxiety and full of questions; Am I going to lose my job? If I lose my job, will this affect my career and my ability to get a job? Is this a criminal charge? I found myself in a situation th...at I knew nothing about. Anxious, embarrassed and ashamed... Once I decided to take this matter head on, I did some research and found Mr. Peter Lederman as the stand-out DWI Lawyer in NJ. My first visit with Mr. Lederman was very informative. It was made abundantly clear that Mr. Lederman knew NJ DWI Law like the back of his hand, it is in fact, his only practice. I decided to hire Peter and walked out of his office feeling much better about the situation because i knew I had an extremely knowledgeable ally. As it stood, I was looking at a seven month license suspension, plus installation of the ignition interlock device for 1 year after the suspension. This was not an easy pill to swallow seeing that my job requires customer visits. After meeting with Mr. Lederman, he gave me a task list, things that he recommended I accomplish while the courts moved the process forward. The list of tasks included things such as; personal statement of events the night of arrest, self brag sheet, and attendance to a referred alcohol therapist and class. I complied with his recommendations because I was bent on doing everything in my power to affect the outcome of my case. While completing these tasks, Mr. Lederman's Office had requested the "discovery" which is basically the municipalities case against the offender, including written statement by the arresting officer, any associated video, BAC etc. Once Mr. Lederman's office had received these documents, I was called in for an appointment with Mr. Lederman. It turned out that the State had a pretty bulletproof case against me. Mr Lederman told me how strong of a case we had and unfortunately there wasn't much on my side. He let me make the decision on how hard we wanted to fight the charges. He explained three approaches to me: High risk, high reward which essentially was going to trial and risking being proved guilty with the maximum penalty, medium risk medium reward, and low risk, low reward. After much thought I decided that I would take a reduced plea deal of three months vs the seven month alternative. Mr. Lederman did reiterate that getting this plea deal was going to be tough due to the strong case against me. On my court date, the prosecutor told Mr. Lederman that they were not willing to budge on the 7 month suspension. I was devastated with the news and wouldn't accept it, so Mr. Lederman requested postponement. Two weeks later we had a court date and Mr Lederman went in with a few more things to throw against the wall with the prosecutor. Something stuck and they lowered the consequence to three months which I considered a big win. I was able to keep my job and am now license-less but still employed. The most impressive and inspiring thing about my time with Mr. Lederman was watching his interactions with court social circles. He is held in very high esteem by people within the court system. For instance, in my second court date, when the judge saw Mr. Lederman in open court, they bantered back and fourth like they were old buddies as the senior judge said he was honored to have Mr Lederman in his court. My case was then called up and the high ranking judge continued to make it known that Mr. Lederman was a great attorney and that Peter in fact taught the judge a few things. This is a top Judge who is president of a judges association we're talking about. Here are some closing thoughts on my experience with Mr. Lederman. - Peter doesn't tell you what you want to hear, he tells you the facts. - There is a premium to pay for the Best DWI Lawyer in NJ - If results are important to you, hire Peter. - Peter likes cigars and vacation.
