Excellent Lawyer

We retained Peter to deal with a family member's serious DUI charges. From our first meeting through the entire pre-trial process, Peter was professional, completely candid and totally engaged in working for our best interests. He personally represented us at each court date/hearing and worked dili...gently to place our interests and concerns before the District Attorney and the Court. The final result was the dismissal of two serious felony charges and the reduction of all charges to a single misdemeanor DUI. I highly recommend Peter.

Peter Liss - Highly Recommended

Peter Liss is an exceptional defense attorney. I needed an attorney since I was facing penal code 243 (e) 1. I was wrongfully put in this situation by a mentally unstable ex-spouse. I needed someone to help me out. Peter got in touch with the city attorney's office, explained my side of the story, an...d presented all our evidence. He did a wonderful job representing me. He is extremely knowledgeable about the legal system in San Diego and was able to answer all my questions very well, and this put me at ease. I knew I was being taken care of by someone who knows what they're doing. Another reason I liked him was because he was very honest and upfront. He made no promises. He laid out the facts and stated what he would be able to do and what the potential outcomes would be. In a time like this, having an honest, enthusiastic lawyer helped me out immensely He is also extremely easy to get in touch with. He always returned my phone calls and emails. He was there to answer my questions (of which I had many). He also sent me updates via email. I was more than satisfied with this attorney. He's smart, experienced, and honest... and he seriously worked hard for me. Give him a call and you'll see why I chose him.

Great lawyer!

I hired Peter Liss to handle a DUI case where I was not actually driving. He heard my story and helped me with advice and kept me informed the entire time. He went out of his way to help me again and again, even dropping most of the cost since I couldn't afford it all. He got my charges reduced to a ...dry, reckless. Thanks Peter!

Peter Liss -The best lawyer in town

I interviewed a few top notch attorneys in town before signing up with Peter. It has been proven that I made a good decision to have Peter as my son's defense attorney. Peter's extensive legal and professional experiences, proactive approach, as well as rigorously protecting client's rights through...out the legal proceedings result in satisfactory result in an uphill battle for my son. Through this, I really feel that justice is not always to be served. You really need an excellent attorney to achieve that. Peter is that kind of attorney who can help you and you can count on. I highly recommend Peter and wish him the best in his professional endeavor.

Solid legal advice

I didn't hire Peter Liss when my college-age son got into a spot of trouble in the first week of school, resulting in a Minor in Consumption of Alcohol charge. I live out of state and was trying to figure out how to support my son and whether the Juvenile Court requirement that parents appeal with t...heir kid at their hearing would require me to fly to California. Peter kindly called me back promptly after my emailed inquiry, talked me out of hiring him (it would've cost more for his time than a plane ticket, and he wouldn't actually do anything other than sit with my son in my place), and instead helped me brainstorm the best way to handle the situation, including submitting a notarized statement explaining my absence and requesting a continuance if my presence was truly imperative. The hearing went exactly the way Peter described it, and my son is doing what he needs to do to fulfill the diversionary requirements and put this behind him. Peter's prompt and reassuring advice put my mind at ease and helped me figure out what I COULD do for my son with him so far away. Based on my brief interactions with him, I would certainly recommend him to others.
