The best in NJ is an understatement

"The best in the business", "A discount to value", "Experienced, knowledgeable and applicable beyond comprehension," "Reputation proceeds his work,;"Professional and caring beyond belief" are all under statements for Peter Lederman as a lawyer and man, as well as The Office of Peter Lederman for lega...l representation. He and his staff are a well - oiled machine that have a process in place for you once you hire him, that both works and and allows you to self reflect about how you got in to your current predicament, and not only win the case, but also better yourself as a person. Peter was recommended to me by a former NJ State Trooper I was friends with in college, as well as two other top 100 Super Lawyers who I had contacted first. One I told the I had spoke to Pete, the both told me they were his mentors and I would be in good hands. My case didn't even make it to trial ( it was not a case containing alchohol), but as his record suggested ( I was told he never lost a DRE case) during discovery Pete waddled the state's case down to the point that they had no probable cause and no evidence to move forward on the 450 and the state ultimately dismissed it. I was not under the influence, but in NJ it is a guilt until proven innocent game and hiring him was the best decision I ever made in my life. I cannot speak enough about his staff as well as his assistant was by far the most knowledgeable, informational, and punctual legal secretary I have ever encountered, which truly showed me the value in hiring a premier law office to handle my case. A DUI (for medication I was prescribed, and not abusing- due to a DRE exam) Pete found holes all over, an 80 in a 65MPH, failure to maintain right, and a ticket for careless driving were all reduced to the latter with a plea before I even had to go to trial. My advice to you is: Contact The Office of Peter Lederman and listen to every single thing he has to say, follow all of the instructions that they give you, and be patient. The judge even told me to thank him because he did an exceptional job on the case, everyone is the municipal courthouse I was at was his friend (40 miles from office, but has has been doing this a very, very long time). Thank you Pete. You made a difference in my life more than you know and I am so happy to put this behind me.

Peter Lederman couldn't have been better!

I was accused of a DWI and Peter was able to get it dropped down to a reckless driving and 90-day suspended license with all of the fines and other summons discharged. He was thorough, honest, and straightforward throughout the whole process and I could not have been happier with choosing him. His ex...pertise and knowledge on DWI's was clearly visible and I benefited greatly. You will not be dissapointed if you chose him as your lawyer to represent you in such a serious case.

Outstanding attorney and human

My DWI arrest as the single most tumultuous and terrifying event of my life. In hindsight, I was hopelessly and appallingly unaware of the process, ramifications and legal proceedings. My career and professional reputation were both on the line. A friend assisted me in researching attorneys and she... unveiled this spectacular individual. Simply put, Mr. Lederman will provide you with the support and expertise to not only survive the event but use it as a turning point. Do precisely what he says and trust his wisdom. Listen to his advice regarding use of substances. He will guide you without judgment. Jessica, his assistant, is an utterly helpful and genuine woman. To echo another poster below, I never thought I would be in this situation and I never will again. Thank you, thank you Mr. Lederman.

Amazing and caring

Mr. Lederman pushed my case until we got a result I was satisfied with. I was in a very tough situation being on active duty and having a pending DUI. My active duty depended on the outcome of this case and he made sure we had positive results. I highly recommend him to anyone pending a DUI/DWI. He w...ill fight until you are satisfied and do his best to get the best results.

Excellent lawyer, excellent person!

From square one, I knew that I had chosen the right person for my case. Down to earth, caring and warm, Mr. Lederman provided me with every bit of information that I so desired. He helped to guide me through the entire process, instilling a strong sense of confidence in how things would pan out. I... was charged with a DUI, and walked away from court with a reckless driving. It was the best possible outcome, and I was informed of that right from the get go. There was never a single moment in which I felt he didn't do all that he could for me. I am extremely satisfied with his services, and would highly recommend him. Not only did I feel confident in the services he provided, but I was also touched by his kind, understanding nature. I can recall several occasions in which I walked away from a conversation with him in which I felt better for having had it. He not only cares about helping others in such times of need, but also ensuring that we will not repeat the same mistakes. His heart shines through in his work.
