Savvy and knowledgeable negotiator and trial lawyer

Peter used his considerable skills and experience as a criminal defense trial lawyer to negotiate a dismissal of a civil harassment suit against my son and two others involving a criminal case where Peter also obtained a dismissal of serious criminal charges against a friend of theirs at a preliminar...y hearing. The person filing the civil harassment petition consulted an attorney who knows Peter and who, after discussing the case with Peter, concurred that dismissing the case was in the best interests of everyone. As a civil litigation attorney for over 35 years, I can say from experience that Peter's handling of the case was adroit and tough and comes only from long experience as a criminal defense attorney. I would recommend him to anyone

Excellent Attorney Peter Liss who represented my son on a probation violation case on July 15, 2011.

We were very blessed to find Peter Liss, criminal attorney in vista. And he was very reasonable. Peter is a great attorney, very knowledgeable and committed every step of the way. He had our complete trust and confidence from the start to the end. Our family was very pleased with the outcome. His sec...retary Ericka of 12 years is very efficient and well informed. Thank you Peter for helping our family in this stressful time.

BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

I am an attorney who has frequently referred my clients, friends and other individuals to Peter Liss when they needed a criminal attorney. Each and everyone I referred to Peter, has told me what an excellent job he has done. I have seen him in Court and I also feel this way. Peter knows exactly wh...at to do to get the results you are looking for without charging unnecessary legal fees. In addition, his "bedside" manner is warm and understanding. I have, and will continue to recommend Peter Liss to anyone who asks me about a criminal lawyer.

Does Not Keep Their Word, Find A Different Lawyer

I was visiting california in the fall of 2013. Was arrested and charged with a dwi. Was wrongly accused and after hiring peter as my lawyer to get this fixed everything seemed okay at first. Was never contacted before he pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving. Then he never contacted me after... the fact. I actually had to call him when DMV mail started showing up at my home in virginia. We had agreed in person at his office that this WOULD NOT affect my driving record or the dmv record. Now 2 and a half years later im getting screwed on the opposite end of the country for something that was supposed to be taken care of like peter had said. He doesnt keep his word or do what he said he would do. Seek other law firms and lawyers if you are needing a attorney. Spend a little extra money to be represented by someone who actually cares about the outcome of your case or charges. Dont make the mistake I did and hire Peter Michael Liss.

Kevin- In 2013, I got you a dry reckless with all DUI charges dismissed which is in the top 1% of all DUI case results. I am sorry you are disappointed. I cannot control what Virginia DMV does but I can help understand their actions and do whatever I can to assist you. I communicate everything I do with clients and continue do so well after a case is closed. I am still willing to help you. Please contact me for further assistance.
