Peter Lederman is Simply the Best

Peter Lederman is well known and highly respected amongst his peers and the court circuit. He has vast knowledge of NJ DWI and traffic laws and possesses impeccable negotiating skills with the Judge and DA. It's with these qualities that Peter was able to get me a very favorable outcome. I highly ...recommend Peter Lederman.

Beat the DUI

Mr. Lederman is a passionate and efficient lawyer. He has a fierce knowledge of the law and used it in every aspect of my case. After consulting with several DUI lawyers, I was certain no one could defend me as well as Mr. Lederman. He took great care of the case legally and genuinely cared that I wo...uldn't put myself in that situation again. After months of waiting to take the case to trial, he had my .17 deemed as inadmissible, the DUI charge dropped, and I walked away with a wreckless driving happily. If you get a DUI, look no further and hire him.

my second dui in jersey city

I wanna congradulate, Mr. Lederman on an sensational, oustanding, fantastic, amazing, superb, wonderful, and prfessional job today inregards to my second DUI... Its was the longest stressful 6 months i ever experienced in my life.. I do construction, im a union memebr and have been in the business f...or ten years now and one of your requirements is to have your license, without your license you can become a member if your in the process of getting them but for any reason they get suspeneded, you cud no longer become a member.. Today my livelihood was on the line, not knowing how i would be able to pay my mortgage, provide for my family, take care my bills etc etc, all sorts of crazy things was going through my head and by me having my Class A CDL, they were even harder on me, and will be on anyone else , who catch a dui/dwi and have cdl.. Two years suspension, 48 detox, 3k a year surcharge, penalties and fines, 16 sessions counselling and whatever else that came with it, my cdl, and endorsements all would have went up in flames after all the monies i done put into getting my license back in 2006, paying out of pocket for school to get my cdl and other endorsements.. With all this being said., with the HELP, the HARD WORK, the love and passion the he have for what he do and to help people, my livelihood was speared today and i received a second chance.. Mr. Lederman had a plan executed it and by all means if that didnt work, everytime we walked in court, bet your buns, he was ready for war.. My second dui and along with 5 other tickets a total of 6 tickets all together, Mr. Lederman was able to get all the tickets dismissed and had me plea guilty to just reckless driving, what a great job.. Im not telling anyone to go go drink and drive and you will get the same. i know we get big headed at times and we get away with it once or twice or quite a few times but if by any chance you get caught, you gonna wish you hadnt, trust and believe me its not worth it, the change you spend getting drunk, will cost you big bucks at the end, better hope you monies right before you do it.. Thank you Mr. Lederman on a wonderful job!!!!

Life changing!

Was not convicted of second DUI! Thanks to the legal expertise of Mr. Peter Lederman and his very friendly staff, I was not found guilty of my second DUI offense within 10 years. The first time I received a DUI I was in shock that I had found myself in that kind of trouble. The second time, I felt t...he weight of the world crashing down on me because I knew the ramifications that were ahead of me. The arrest was on a Saturday and I called Peter Lederman the following Monday. We spoke on the phone and a few hours later I met him in his office. We sat and discussed what to do, and I left feeling confident that I would have a good outcome in court. Following the arrest, I spent a lot of time reflecting on what line of thinking brought me to driving a vehicle after drinking alcohol. Clearly, in all cases of a DUI charge, alcohol yields the brain from making good choices, however during this turbulent time I was able to discover other drivers that lead me to my uncharacteristic mistake and how to fix them. Of course, telling the judge that you learned your lesson (especially facing a 2nd charge) would not work in court. After the first meeting with Mr. Lederman, I had a bit of homework to do before our next meeting. I promptly did the things he asked me to do that would strengthen my case. Any time that I had questions or needed advice, I would call his office and speak to his always helpful and pleasant assistants who were there for me every step of the way. During the second meeting I brought to him all the documents he requested and we discussed our plan of attack. Mr. Lederman's vast knowledge and experience of dealing with DUI charges is clearly noticed while meeting with him. I also noticed his concern for me and for my ability to become a better person from this experience. Finally court had arrived and I felt very prepared and confident for a positive outcome. Courts are usually not very lenient on DUI charges, especially seconds. I was facing a mandatory two year license suspension, 16 weeks in IDRC classes, 48 consecutive hours in an IDRC center, possible jail, a breathalyzer interlock on my car for 1-3 years after my suspension, and of course fines. I also had a speeding ticket, failure to maintain lane ticket and a careless driving ticket. However, thanks to Mr. Lederman, I was only given a reckless driving ticket and a shorter license suspension. Mr. Lederman had developed many points of attack and so we used one, and it worked. I would certainly recommend Mr. Lederman to anyone who needs to get out of a DUI charge and who wants to discover a better person within themselves.

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"
