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.

I have had occasion to work with many attorneys in my career. I recently needed a criminal attorney for a family member out of the area of where I practice. I did some research and decided to retain Peter Liss; one of the better decisions of my life. Peter is an exceptional criminal attorney who know...s the law and how to work with the Court and the D.A. to obtain a favorable outcome. While I hope I will not ever need him again, if I did need another criminal attorney in the future he would be my first and only choice. R. Suiter, Ph.D.

I recently had the opportunity to observe Mr. Liss at a preliminary trial and his skills convinced me that if a member of my family ever needed a criminal attorney, I would seek his services. At trial, Liss was so effective and persuasive that he achieved a great result for his client. Most attorneys... would have agreed to a quick plea but Liss was persistent and would not settle for anything less than the desired outcome. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is seeking a great criminal lawyer.

Peter worked long and hard to get my daughter the best possible results in a case that looked hopeless at first . He kept at it when most lawyer would have given up and gave my daughter a second chance at having a life . He also works with you on the payments! Thank you again for all your hard w...ork

I recently got a DUI. and I blew a .12, which isn't terrible considering it was my first. However I hit another driver in the process (on the freeway mind you) totally wrecked his car and also injured the lone passenger. It was really scary, and automatically I was going to be convicted with a DUI F...elony. I was absolutely terrified because I had a clean record and now I was going to get a Felony! That's a stain that pretty much never can be expunged off your record. So I did my research and contacted around 8 different attorneys/legal firms in the San Diego County area. Some of them dealt specifically with DUI's others did a variety of legal practices. I found Peter Liss online through another attorney, who referred Mr. Liss to me. Boy did he come through for me! I didn't have to serve any extra jail time, I ended up with a DUI Misdemeanor which is essentially a slap on the wrist and only 3 months of OHS classes as rehabilitation. He also was diligent enough to get my fines reduced, not to mention he was very flexible as far as the cost. It wasn't an arm an a leg to retain him, and any time I needed him he was there (un-like the public defender I was assigned).
