I strongly endorse Kevin Leckerman. I served as a municipal prosecutor in 19 towns throughout NJ and opposed hundreds of DWI/DUI defense attorneys throughout the State of New Jersey. Kevin Leckerman is very skilled and knowledgeable regarding DWI/DUI, and as bright and able as any opposing counsel that I encountered. Mr. Leckerman's knowledge of the foundational requirements for admission of scientific, alcohol and drug testing results is exceptional. He is an absolute bulldog in advocating for his clients. While always maintaining the respect of the judges before whom he appeared, Mr. Leckerman was relentless in pursuing defense arguments for his clients. Based on my in courtroom experiences opposing Mr. Leckerman, I have the utmost respect for him as a DWI/DUI defense attorney and would not hesitate to refer someone in need of counsel to him. I give Kevin Leckerman my strongest possible endorsement.

Kevin is an outstanding DW/DUI defense attorney. In addition to being hard working and aggressive, Kevin goes out of his way to make sure that he is on top of the latest developments in DWI/DUI defenses. I recently attended an extremely vigorous 5 day forensic science seminar on defeating blood samples in DWI/DUI cases with Kevin and I think I learned just as much from the points Kevin made in class as I did from the course itself. Kevin is an outstanding attorney.
Andrew Bucher, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 28, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Kevin is an excellent attorney who is very knowledgeable about DUI law. I had the pleasure of attending the most advanced blood evidence training available for attorneys with Kevin. Few attorneys have this level of knowledge and training, you will make a good decision when you choose to retain attorney Leckerman.

Kevin is an excellent DUI defense lawyer. He goes above and beyond to learn all he can about the law but also about the science behind all areas DUI related. His membership in NCDD and PADDDA says it all. Someone arrested for DUI in south eastern PA could do no better than hire Kevin to defend them.
