Kevin uses these skills to benefit his clients. I endorse Kevin's work as a DUI defense attorney. He's a guy you can trust to handle your DUI case."
"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.

Kevin is an outstanding attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kevin is an excellent attorney who is very knowledgeable about DUI law.
