Unreal

I cannot thank this man enough. Literally saved my life!! I was hit with a DUI/DWI back in December of 2023. I had a friend recommend him to me. Peter & his team worked on my case from the very first day I hired him. 11 months in & I walked away with everything dismissed besides the wreckless drivin...g charge. Paid a $240 fine & walked away with a new lease on life. Peter is not only knowledgeable & passionate but he cares!! There is no case this man cannot handle!! I would like to thank this man with every breathe I have in me I’m still in shock. The Man, The Myth, The Legend !! Give him your last dollar if you have to he’ll get you back in the game for sure. Thank You

I highly recommend this attorney.

This is the attorney you want to represent you, hands down and here’s why. After a combination of bad choices and some misrepresentation, I ended up with a couple of DUIs on my record early in my youth (18 yrs of age or so). Fast forward to my 40’s, I made the same mistake again with the severe co...nsequences looming for multiple DUIs, I wanted to get the best representation possible. I reached out to Mr. Lederman after reading his reviews and I have to say, he was everything I had read he was, and more. He treated me with utmost respect, and helped me get my life back on track. He went above and beyond what any prior attorney had done to get me the minimum sentence. He went back through every prior DUI and had one of them officially removed from my record. The staff were responsive, helpful and always stayed in contact and kept me 100% up to date on all that was going on. Peter did exactly what he said he would do, is extremely smart and knowledgeable on the law, and can confidently stand behind his word. He was no nonsense and up front with me right from the first meeting, and was accurately able to predict the outcome of the case. I cannot thank him enough.

Amazing outcome!!!

My goodness where do I begin, Mr. Lederman is an exceptional attorney, worth every penny!!!! I was facing a second DWI, and refusal which is technically a four year suspension. Mr. Lederman is straightforward and tells it like it is, he doesn’t sugarcoat, he presents to you all the possible outcome...s... but this man fights a hard fight and doesn’t give up!!! After quite some time fighting this battle, and him presenting all possible materials needed for this case, I was able to receive a reckless and 40 day suspension!!!! I can not thank Mr. Lederman and his awesome secretaries Jessica and Noreen for being so patient and nice to me every time! ANY DWI/DUI cases, Mr. Lederman is the man for it!!! I cannot thank him enough. I’m still in shock how amazing he did

DUI

Mr. Lederman did an incredible job on my case. He is very knowledgable in DUI's, field sobriety testing, alcotest, and the judicial system. He is blunt with you about what can happen in court with your case and leaves you with nothing but honesty. He goes over your case with you piece by piece and ma...kes you feel comfortable about what is to come. He tells you like it is and prepares you. Mr. Lederman was able to wipe out my BAC number entirely with a special report that showed proof that the alcotest was done incorrectly, therefore, the BAC results were proven unreliable. I got a minimum of 90-day license suspension and I must attend the IDRC class. There are a few fines as well that go along with the DUI. I'm very happy with my results. This was my first offense and I could have lost my license for a lot longer if my BAC was provided and I may have needed to attend the IDRC class longer. I was lucky to have such a great lawyer to help me. I recommend hiring Mr. Lederman. You won't be disappointed.

DUI in New Jersey

I found Mr. Peter Lederman via internet and after reading all the reviews i considered hiring him as my lawyer. This was my first DUI and had very high BAC. I'm also an international student and could have faced immigration problems. I personally met him and he explained all the pros and cons and hel...ped me understand my case better. You have to be honest with him and tell him everything that happened. He will be harsh and truthful and not sugar coat anything, he tries to make you realize how this can affect your life and the life of your loved ones and to make you a better person. He recommended me to a counselor for assessing my drinking habits which i completed. He will ask you to write a bragg sheet and provide pictures of the place it all happened. Mr. Lederman went through each aspect of my case thoroughly and left no stones turned. He reviewed and explained me every step of the way. Being with him in the court room made me realize Mr. Lederman is prepared to fight for your rights without any hesitation i will recommend him. He has experience he is a well known lawyer. With all that being said i got my case dismissed after 6 months and received careless driving and lane change. If your in a similar situation and don't know what to do. Call him immediately the sooner the better you want to discuss your case and understand where you stand and Mr. peter Lederman is the man Drive Safe.

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"
