I was given Kevin’s name by someone who was highly recommended to me. They were not taking in new clients but highly recommended Kevin. From day one he was understanding, sympathetic and straight forward. I hired him to represent my son. He shows confidence but not arrogance. We are very fortunate for his recommendation.
I would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone that needed help in his area of expertise without a doubt.
I liked working with his firm because they were highly professional and the rare thing you don’t find very often these days which is excellent customer service. When I had a question or information for him, he responded within one half hour every time, and if he was in court, his secretary would get in touch with him and provide me with a time that he would be able to call me back. He never left me hanging.
What stood out about Kevin for me besides the fact he was able to get all charges dropped, was the day I hired him I was pretty upset and full of shame and he was so sincere when he said “ Listen to me, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about, everyone makes mistakes “, which is so true, and making mistakes in life is (if we learn from them) are actually the only way we grow and learn as human beings.
The second thing that I liked was at our first meeting after giving him all details regarding the charges, was the fact he gave me the worst case scenario first which he really didn’t believe would happen and then told me the points that were in our favor and how with his expert knowledge which expanded beyond the police departments were what was going to be in our favor and he was absolutely right.
I am being so sincere when I say Kevin Leckerman is an excellent attorney who is honest, professional and the scope of his knowledge of the legal system and laws sets him apart from other attorneys because he chose to further his education and that is why he is ranked one of the best DUI

Saved me from a Disaster
I had tapped another car in a parking lot in PA. The other driver had noticed I had been drinking but was very generous and simply asked me to park my car and walk to wherever I was going. He did not want to notify the authorities because no damage had been done to his car. However, another person had seen us interacting in the lot and decided to call the police even though the matter did not involve her and she had not interacted with me personally. I was stopped by the police while walking away from the scene after leaving my car parked at the suggestion of the other driver and submitted to field sobriety tests. I admitted that I was the driver of the other vehicle and failed the roadside tests, but even after telling the officer the other driver had agreed to me leaving the scene and did not want to pursue matters further, he still arrested and charged me with DUI. I was horrified that he couldn't have simply issued a public intoxication charge since I was no longer even driving the vehicle. I was an out of state driver with a NJ license, and this could have resulted in a 10 year license suspension as a third offense in that state. I thought my life and professional career opportunities were over for sure because of a previous 2nd offense conviction in 2008. Kevin requested and was able to obtain all available court records from the 2008 conviction and was able to discover that I was illegally convicted because the judge did not fully inform me of all of my constitutional rights. After a hearing, the 2008 conviction was dismissed and I was granted Post-Conviction Relief which automatically lowered the recent DUI to a first offense in both PA and NJ and made me eligible for the Pennsylvania ARD program. Kevin was able to get me approved for the ARD program. Although my driving privileges are suspended for a short time in PA, I was still able to keep my valid NJ license to commute to and from work with the requirement that I complete community service hours and a probationary period which will then allow me to have this arrest expunged from my record. He has truly saved my reputation, life, and career and I am forever indebted to him. I never anticipated such a favorable outcome. I can’t thank him enough and truly recommend his services to anyone in trouble who has been issued a DUI. His skills and professionalism both in and out of the courtroom were unparalleled.

Excellent choice of representation
Mr. Leckerman did an excellent job of representing me during this experience. During my case he was able to uncover an unusual piece of evidence and do his own indepth research if it could be used in our favor. That piece of evidence was in large part the reason the breath sample would have been thrown out had the matter gone to trial. In the end we came away with a favorable outcome, the dui was dropped in exchange for a reckless driving with no suspension.

Miracle worker
I was blessed to retain the services of Leckerman Law to represent me in my DUI case. My case was a loser from everyone's perspective including my own. However, Kevin did everything that could possibly be done at exactly the time it needed to be done resulting in a win. This attorney is a credit to his profession and a model to the tenacity and work ethic one would expect from a professional. I got a second chance to make wiser choices in my life thanks to this individual. I highly recommend this firm.

prosecutors nightmare
I was charged with DUI reckless driving possession of paraphernalia possession of CDS open container
These were definitely trumped up charges This was also a state police case.
The discovery that Kevin subpoenaed from the state police was literally four pages long. He wanted to see everything from certifications to videos audio recording's. Every piece of evidence.
The prosecution knew Kevin was willing to go to trial in this case. They wanted no part of it. Two months after I was charged I played guilty to a driving offense and a noise violation.
No loss of driving privileges and a small fine. Kevin is worth every penny that he charges. I just got home from court and the first thing I wanted to do was go online and leave a review. My recommendation is if you don't want to lose your driving privileges, hire Kevin Michael Lecherman

Hire this Guy!!
Seriously, if you want someone who is going to relentlessly fight for you in court and seriously take a deep dive scouring every detail of your case, this is your man. I was looking at a Driving While Suspended charge after a DUI conviction carrying with it MANDATORY JAIL, 1-2 year suspension period, and a hefty fine. Through vigorous persistence Mr. Leckerman's foresight brought him to revisit and DOWNGRADE my original DUI conviction which then enabled him to argue for an outstanding result in the DWS case. Even the judge was blown away - NO JAIL, half the fine, and a mere 30 day suspension!
This guy truly fights for you where other lawyers will not. Trust me, his persistence had him in and out of court enough for me to see many other lawyers at work and no one can touch this guy. I just wish I hired Kevin when I first received the DUI. Don't make the same mistake I did and hire this guy now!

Exceptional lawyer
The DUI charge on me made my life miserable. But this guy took me out of fire. He takes time to listen to you from the very first day and analyses your situation step by step He updates you regularly with emails on every progress so you take control of your case. I did a lot of review on lawyers watch his video on "you tube before my instinct told me this was the right person. All those previous good reviews about him is absolutely true, i just found out today. With intense prayers and fasting both from my family and friends, God did his work through this guy and my case was dismissed today. Actually i think this guy deserve more than what he ask from client. He was my hero today.

3rd dui charge
I'd like to say that kevin leckerman gave me hope when no other lawyer would give me hope about my case. He was able to prove that I was innocent on a 3rd DUI .

Our Positive Experience with Kevin Leckerman
When my boyfriend was facing his third DWI, we had just recently purchased our first home. He had his first two charges over ten years back, and we never could have imagined that it would happen to him again. We felt entirely hopeless, constantly fearing what could happen to him if convicted. The beautiful life we pictured for ourselves felt like a dream that was no longer capable of coming true.
When we were referred to Kevin Leckerman, we were willing to do anything for just a glimpse of hope. My boyfriend felt that he was not only treated unfairly, but also inappropriately charged by the police. Kevin gave us much more than just hope. Not only did he educate us, but he showed us compassion. He made us believe that it was possible to win the case. Kevin treated us respectfully, and displayed significant knowledge of the law, far beyond that of his peers. Any time that we needed reassurance, had questions, or just wanted to discuss the case, Kevin was more than willing to dedicate his time and attention.
When it came time for my boyfriend's trial, we could not have been more nervous. Throughout the duration of the trial, we were completely amazed by Mr. Leckerman's skills and his brilliance. After a relatively short time, the judge announced that my boyfriend was not guilty to the DWI charge, and allowed him to plead guilty to the much lesser charge of careless driving. We could never have hoped for a better ending, and remain extremely grateful to Kevin for helping us get there.
With best regards, I give my highest possible recommendation to Kevin Leckerman. You will not find a better man to have by your side in a DUI or DWI case.

Former Client
I am a professional working in the IT industry with a booming career. With my 3rd offense of a DUI and mandatory jail time facing me, Kevin was always a straight shooter and fought hard, not only for my recent charges but also revisited my prior offenses. He’s dedication to fighting my case(s) was very credible. He worked hard on my case, which was dropped to a lesser charge. He’s a fighter and he will fight for you.

Best Dui lawyer
I was facing a third dui in ten years, and being out of state, I refused the breath test thinking that I was only giving the prosecution extra evidence against me. However, PA law prosecutes a third dui with a breath refusal at the highest level which equates to a minimum of one year in jail. I spent hours searching various PA lawyers and once I met Kevin, I knew that this lawyer was my best chance. Kevin researched the police report thoroughly and was completely prepared at court. Kevin listened attentatively to every detail I provided, and used this information to prepare a strong case against the state. The result was a total dismissal of the charges. If facing a PA dui, Kevin is the lawyer you need and can trust.

Outstanding Legal Services
As a former country chief legal officer for a global U.S investment bank, I have a lot of experience instructing legal counsel at all levels. In my experience it is rare that one finds an attorney at any level who give a case as much attention as if he were the client or were being charged himself. When I had the misfortune of being charged with several driving offenses a couple of months ago Kevin worked tirelessly to produce a highly satisfactory outcome that saved me thousands of dollars in fines and costs and lifelong stigma. I would encourage anyone reading this review to ignore the over-inflated advertisements and promises that you will find online and to retain Kevin, who will actually run your case properly.
