DWI Charges Dismissed (Case Won)

Bottom-line: Peter was able to legally navigate a very hard case to a verdict of dismissal. The path to such an outcome was not straight-forward, however with Peter's experience with the nuances of the law, him and his team were able to identify all operational/procedural missteps taken by the of...ficer(s). He arrived to each proceeding fully briefed, and ready to fight on my behalf, which ultimately lead to my favorable outcome. Peter charges more than other lawyers, but you get what you pay for --- he is worth it (I would have paid more)

Excellent

Peter provided the entire suite of services, from the initial reassurance and personal touch on that first phone call to set a worried mind at ease, to flawless communication and planning throughout the process, and ultimately the outcome was better than I had initially hoped for but exactly what he ...had suggested we pursue in our first meeting. And we were able to reach a deal at the first court appearance although I was told to expect at least 2-3. I also found his fee to be very reasonable. Peter is passionate about what he does and his confidence is encouraging.

Great Attorney

I was pulled for DUI with a quite high BAC level. Peter's expertise and “knowing the ropes” got me through the process with a minimal amount of punishment. His professionalism and knowledge of the system was quite amazing and I would definitely suggest using Peter to anyone who may get into an incide...nt with the law.

Thank you Peter

I was facing a tough DUI case and going into it I didn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. This wasn’t my first DUI but it WILL be my last. I was facing a possible 3rd DUI. I was initially working with another attorney and didn’t feel that he was handling my case appropriately. After doing res...earch, I ran across Peter Lederman’s profile and read all the positive reviews and decided to give him a call. After my first meeting with Peter, I really felt the passion he has for his job and that he really does care about his clients. He DOES NOT want you to drink and drive again and he makes that very clear. He talks to you with respect but does expect a lot from you. You are the only one that put yourself in this predicament, never lose sight of that. I know I haven’t. After seven months my case was finally settled. Initially the outcome was hard to take mentally but after I was able to go home and really think about the verdict and what charges I had really been facing, I was lucky to have found Peter and was able to have him represent me. He got me the best possible outcome. Peter will work hard for you and you will have to work hard for him in return and for yourself really. Do the work (AA meetings, one-on-one counseling (thank you Lisa) and Peter will work hard to get you the best possible outcome. Peter doesn’t guarantee anything other than he will represent you to the best of his ability. Thank you so very much Peter for your dedication to my case and for your personal advice. I’d also like to thank Peter’s assistance Jessica (his right hand). Thank you for always making yourself available for any questions or concerns I might have had. Thank you so much for being so responsive and kind. I do not wish a DUI on anyone but If you find yourself facing a DUI in New Jersey, I wouldn’t consider any other attorney than Peter Lederman.

Miracle Man, Educator & DWI/DUI Expert!

I would like to be 100% transparent. Mr. Lederman is a special person to me. My father and I hired Mr. Lederman after a freak accident in June of 2012. Wasn't my first go around with drinking and driving. Just so happened to be one of the best decisions, I've ever made. Mr. Lederman advised me both p...ersonally and professionally, on what to do and how to do it. It was one of the toughest time peroids of my life. I remember going to work (selling radio advertising), having to hit monthly goals while management inquired about my constant court status and knowing that at some point the walls would come crashing down. It was a lot to handle. Mr. Lederman (Jess, Eva) made themselves available to me whenever I needed. Throughout the hearings, Mr. Lederman would make comments and say, "I know what you're going through is difficult. I can't talk from personal experience, but keep working hard" or "You need to apply yourself like you are and keep making responsible decisions everyday... Not just because your going to court." Mr. Lederman isn't just an attorney. Mr. Lederman is a family man, who has sheer interest in wanting his clients (me) to make responsible decisions. He holds you accountable throughout the entirety of the process. Not a day goes by I don't think about how he would push me through the hardest battle of my life. After five years (5/11/2017), I called Mr. Lederman and thanked him for making me a better person. In a time of my life where I was fear ridden (before my DWI and self medicating) to make career moves and move to NYC, Mr. Lederman found a way to dig deep and make me whole. I will never forget Mr. Lederman's last words after walking out of court. Mr. Lederman put one hand on my shoulder and said, "Son, I hope you have learned how tough you are through this experience. It's not easy and nor should it be. You made an irresponsible decision and will be accountable for it. That aside, I want you to know that the only thing you lost was time. It's up to you from this point on, to determine where you go from here. You can do anything in this world if you just believe in yourself!" To this day, I'm in the process of starting a 501(c) and own a NYC start-up production business. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching me how to grow both personally and professionally. You were more than just an attorney. You were a miracle man, instrumental figure, attorney, mentor and friend. For that I'm grateful!

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"
