Earlier this year I managed to find myself in the drunk tank at the local precinct, for a second time. Upon being released, and not to mention at a very low point in my life, i hired Mr. Lederman as my attorney. In hindsight, regardless of the outcome of the case (which was unbelievable), this was pr...obably the best decision I've made in a while. We discussed the many things that should be done to help the case, but as he said more importantly their to help myself. I was stubborn at the time, i didn't think i had a alcohol problem, but he made it quite clear that i did (indirectly). He said most people that get a DUI once learn they're lesson, you being here for a second time says something . Per his recommendations, i started attending AA meetings and counseling on a habitual basis. This helped the case a lot, but the goldmine of the case was Mr. Lederman's knowledge for DUI and traffic laws. Oh man, seeing him in a courtroom is something out of a movie, if not better; and not to mention the case did not even have to go to trial. As a second offender at the time i was looking at a 2 year license revocation, and not to mention the substantial DUI surcharge. I walked out of the courtroom with only a careless driving ticket. The judge said to me, " You understand your getting a second chance here, you should be thankful. and more importantly you should be thankful to your lawyer for doing a great job" his words not mine, in open court. As previously mentioned before regardless of the outcome, i thank Mr. Lederman for the help, I've been sober for almost a year now, healthier and happier than ever. THANKS!!!

He's been licensed for 35 years, he has awards and is experienced, he knows what he's doing. I received four tickets, DWI, Leaving the scene of an accident, Failure to notify police of an MVA, and Careless driving. I talked to someone who has a pretty good knowledge of Municipal Courts and DWI ...cases, they told me that I would get the three tickets dropped but the DWI, being the most serious, would stick. He said this would happen to make it look like my lawyer did his job, the prosecutor did his, and the judge was decent enough to not bring down the hammer on some kid who has no priors and who obviously isn't the sc*m of the earth. When I first met him he made it seem like I had a good chance of being found not guilty, than slowly as it got closer to the final verdict my chances got worse and worse, 'till finally four days before judgement day he straight up told me the best I could hope for was everything dropped except the DWI, no s--t...that sounds familiar. I received the minimum sentence, seven months loss of license, surcharges and court fees. Even though I was told of my good chance considering my circumstances; not being caught in the act of driving while intoxicated, police showing up 30 minutes after the accident, being found in my house, 2 LED light bars running while I was given my sobriety test, plus a couple more, looked like an easy win, at least that's how he made is seem. I have no problem accepting the responsibilities of my stupid actions, but if I pay a professional $6,500+ to try and get me out of it I expect better results. I payed around $500 in court charges and $3,000 DWI surcharge, pretty much half of what it cost for Mr. Lederman to get me what a fresh out of college attorney could have done, for half the price. Whether it was cause I was just a kid and he didn't give a s--t or cause he's set for retirement he certainly didn't give two s***s about me and my verdict. Anyone who's been ticketed for DWI, look for an up and coming DWI attorney who is looking to make a name for themselves. They'll probably cost half as much and I'm sure they'll care about your case.
