He's going to tell you to do the steps and I know what you're thinking I don't have a drinking problem well if you don't have a drinking problem why are you sitting with a DUI lawyer. Do the steps he tells you trust me it will make you a better person in the long run or you will be sitting here reading about people that had the third their fourth DUIs would you like to know my outcome I know that's what you've been waiting for after everything I put the police through after all the nasty stuff I said to them Peter was able to work out a 6 month license suspension with a reckless driving no DUI no crazy signs from the state I get my license back before the spring even comes I have a convertible I'm going to be able to drive down to Jersey Shore through the town I got my DUI with my top back my license and hands my fiance on the right of me smiling knowing that not only do I have my license back but I am a fully recovered alcoholic and I am not drinking anymore because of this man the past year I had this looming over my head I accomplished so much by changing the person I was you may lose your license but don't lose Who You Are 6 months that's it and I was belligerent and drunk to the officers and they didn't even want to work with me and I only got 6 months in a reckless no second DUI I get to keep my CDL license I get to keep my career and my great life hire this man I told him this to his face you were the greatest man I ever met because you taught me a lesson and you got me my life back too bad I never want to see you again LOL but we have plans to smoke a cigar in the future and I will come through with a box of cigars for him I owe that man everything for helping me grow up now I'm ready for the second half of my life and I'm going to live it alcohol-free best wishes to everyone who reads this.

J.G.

To those of you who are in doubt of which firm or attorney to hire or what step to take next or what your future holds, rest assured that when you hire Mr. Peter Lederman to represent you in a DUI OR DWI charge, you are hiring someone who knows the law like the back of his hand. Peter is the only ...attorney who for the first time ever, looked me in the face and said "you do have rights" instead of the usual reprimanding I have gotten from other attorneys so that when they alleviate some of the charges in the end you feel like they did a great job, Peter did not play that game at all, he was straight up and honest with me and told me where I stand and what he feels he will be able to do for me and did exactly that standing by his word which is unfortunately unusual when it comes to many other attorneys. This is also in part that he knows the law and knows his profession very well and is extremely knoweleagable and proficient in his field of the law. Peter only takes on DUI or DWI cases which makes total sense to me know and that's who you will want representing you in such a serious charge which can and usually does change your current life situation and the way you live your life. My license and being able to drive to and from work in the Tri-state area means being able to support my family or not and Peter totally understands that being that he is also a family man and an honest man. Peter is the first attorney who during our initial introductory meeting, looked me in the face and said "Joe, you do have rights and I will do my best to uphold those rights to give you the best possible outcome". From that point on I felt I was in great hands and not only was he a man of his word but his staff also made the whole process a much more stress free one. I initially hired another attorney who is someone I know very well and someone who has represented me prior to this case and after speaking to a friend who also hired Mr. Lederman in a DUI case instructed me on how happy he was that he also switched over to being represented by Peter Lederman. I could go on and on, one paragraph after another explaining how I have hired other attorneys in my life for various reasons (business and personal) but Peter is by far the most reliable, thorough, professional and best attorney who has represented me to date! Please understand that after reading my review that I am not a person who is so easy to boast about someone who I pay to do their job especially in the "Legal business" but Mr. Lederman is for sure 100% worthy of what I have to say in the above paragraphs. I would say that not only is Peter a super attorney but a super and real person. HIRE PETER LEDERMAN AND KNOW YOU HAVE HIRED THE BEST DUI ATTORNEY WHO WILL GIVE YOU THE CHANCE YOU DESERVE TO MOVE ON WITH LIFE WITH NO REGRETS ON WHO YOU HAVE REPRESENTING YOU. P.S. Peter had my DUI dismissed which I will forever be greatful and now I can move on with life with my family. J.G.

God Gift To A DUI & DWI Offender

Let me just start by saying Mr. Lederman is incredible. Here I found myself facing a DWI for the second time and this man came through and saved my life. Had I been convicted of this second DWI offense I would’ve had to deal with loosing a lot. My Job for one which is very important to anyone who wor...ks. Mr Lederman assured me that everything would be ok and it was! He got my second offense lowered to a reckless driving ticket with a small fine and most IMPORTANTLY Mr. Lederman kept my license from being suspended Again kept my license from being suspended. He is highly recommended to hire if you wish to seek good results. He is a expert at helping his clients deal with DUI and DWI case. It’s all because of Mr. Lederman that I’m able to be stress free and keep my job and I can’t thank this man enough. Thank GOD for Mr. Lederman. You should hire him if you ever in a situation like I was in or even worse. He will be 100% honest with you every step of the way and make sure you face the minimum consequences if any at all.

Greatest defense lawyer for DUI/DWI

I was facing a DWI and a refusal of the breathalyzer. There was so much at risk for me. I worked with Mr. Lederman and he is the most professional, respectful, truth telling person I’ve ever met. We were ready for my trial. Weighing in on all my risks I was ready to go. I won the case! Thanks so much... to Peter Lederman! Everything was dwindled down to a reckless driving and small fine. From having to deal with all the charges and fines including the installment of a blow and go I am so grateful for this man. Thank you so much! Do not question if you should have him as your defense attorney. He is the one you need.

Best man for the job!

Four months ago I found myself reading these reviews, with the hopes that I too, would be writing a review on how Mr. Lederman created a miracle on my case and saved me from a devastating sentence. Well here I am. I was pulled over for a 3rd DWI, with a refusal. So I was facing jail time and 10 ye...ars’ loss of license (actually, 20 years’ loss of license for a refusal on a 3rd offense). Mr. Lederman was able to do his magic and it was reduced to a 1st offense with the refusal, total of 7 months’ loss of license! I was ecstatic! Mr. Lederman is an expert on the ins and outs of the NJ State laws when it comes to DWI’s. I knew I was in good hands after the first time I met him. He’s a very kind man and he will also make you work for your goal. He recommended that I go through an intensive outpatient program (which I did and completed) and I know that this helped significantly with my outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Lederman’s services; he is the best there is!

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"
