Peter Liss at Vista Criminal Law was exactly the attorney I needed. He helped get the minimum charges for a second drink driving charge involving a serious collision with another driver. Additionally, he completed everything for me while I was living in another country which made his services even mo...re valuable. I was able to rebuild and forget about the charges while he orchestrated through the complexities of paperwork in California. Upon my return to California, he was able to get my charges expunged swiftly and keep my past mistakes out of sight for new employers. Thank you Peter and Erika for your help and protecting my future.

Hello my name is Brenden I hired Mr. Liss to represent me in a case where I was charged with a felony for child abuse and a misdemeanor for driving under the influence. Without knowing my entire store and the circumstances behind it you could pass judgment quite quickly, I was absolutely scared to de...ath going into this trial because I had never been in trouble with the law before. During my arraignment the D.A'S attorney tried to raise my bail to a ridiculous amount that was the first time I had seen mr. Liss in action he strategically and aggressively shut up the prosecuting attorney and was able to keep me out on my original bond, since the arraignment mr.liss had represented several times and "held my hand " throughout the rest of my trial. Today I went in for my sentencing again mr. Liss walked up to me with that cool confidence he has as an experienced attorney and we again went in front of the judge. After all was said and done me. Liss was able to get my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and kept me from doing any jail time at all which I was completely surprised. If you are in serious trouble and need someone to represent you this is the attorney you want in your corner, had I trusted in a public defender I know the outcome would not have been the same. Coming into the trial I did not have all the money up front which he was really cool about and let me make him payments, if it wasn't for mr. Liss's years of experience as a winning attorney I would not be typing this review tonight from home. If you are in a situation where your freedom is possibly at steak this is the attorney to have representing you. Thanks again mr.liss

Spirited, intelligent, articulate and frank. After interviewing no fewer than ten attorneys to take my felony case I happened upon this outstanding gentleman who made me feel 100% confident that he was the right person for my case. This was proven right after an arduous 9 months of court when our cas...e was dismissed at the PRELIM! The thing that immediately jumped out at me was his honesty. There was no fake bravado or false promises from this person. After getting to know each other for a couple of weeks he was able to embody my desires and my passion into the case to a degree where I was truly represented. Everything about him and his team is professional and forthright. His team is extremely accommodating and will help you with whatever you need, whenever you need it! (thank you, by the way!) It boils down to: If you want an attorney that just says the right things and coddles to your feelings then go with the other person. If you want someone who genuinely believes in his craft and your moral values then go with Peter Liss.

After never needing the services of an attorney before, I suddenly required those services following an automobile accident and arrest. I hired Peter Liss after reading his reviews and cannot begin to express how happy I was with the service he provided, from our initial meeting to the very happy con...clusion of my case Peter was Friendly, compassionate, funny, and thorough and above all a “Bull Dog” in the court room. I would highly recommend Peter Liss to anyone in need of a Defense attorney

Peter Liss is an excellent criminal defense attorney and I would recommend him highly to anyone needing help in the Vista court system. I was charged with a domestic violence charge in Vista by a former girlfriend after I called the police asking for their help to remove her from my home. Although th...ere was no evidence of violence, she claimed that I had threatened her so the police charged me. In such cases it becomes a "he said/she said" situation and the police are obligated to charge someone when called. In most cases they side with the woman for safety and caution if the facts are unclear. They did so in this case even though I had called them for help. My arrest and pending prosecution was an extremely traumatic event for me. I was worried about my employment, reputation, financial losses, and physical safety. When I met Peter and he heard my story he immediately made me feel better by carefully explaining the legal process and possible outcomes and costs. He also never promised an outcome, but told me the probability that my case would be dismissed due to the circumstances and why things happened the way they did. He took the time to tell me who would be involved in the decisions, what would happen next, and what he would do on my behalf. He went out of his way to return every phone call himself, make every appearance himself, and charge me the lowest possible fees. I shopped around and some firms were charging more than double. Peter keeps a very lean staff, but don't let this fool you. He is one of the most professional lawyers I have ever met and I have dealt with many in my business life before. He just believes in giving personal attention and keeping costs down. He also wants to know the people handling the case in the courthouse from the DA and their staff to the Judges and clerks. He has spent his whole career in Vista and north county San Diego. If you need a kind, compassionate, competent, and professional attorney; you should call Peter Liss. I was very happy I did. As a final note....I was so happy with Peter's service after my charges were dismissed, that I offered to pay him the higher fees charged by a competing large firm. He refused to accept the higher payment. He is an honor to his profession in my opinion.
