Peter Liss: Well-regarded, tenacious and very effective!

I was arrested for DUI. Peter won my DMV hearing, successfully getting DMV to set aside the suspension. I've been told it's very rare to win DMV hearings and I believe it. This was also huge as I depend on driving for work. Pursuant to the DMV decision he was able to argue for a plea deal down to a "...wet reckless." This was another major win since my fine was reduced by about $1,000, my probation period was reduced from 5 years to 3 years, and my license was left in good standing. He communicated very clearly and knowledgeably with me, all the time letting me know where my case stood. He's had my back through the entire process. If you need a good lawyer who can actually make a difference for you instead of just taking your money, Peter Liss is the man. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat, but I intend to stay out of trouble!

Excellent, reliable lawyer

I was facing a DUI felony car accident with bodily injury in the Vista Court System and was scared beyond belief. I had no record. First time I had ever been in trouble. Peter was very resourceful and practical and truly did his best to ease me through the process. The outcome was great. My case ...got reduced to a DUI misdemeanor. Bodily injury was dropped from the charge. I had to serve no additional jail time. 3 months of DUI classes and a one month license suspension with 5 months of license restriction pales in comparison to the week long ankle bracelet and 1 year license suspension and who knows whatever doom I thought I was facing. Peter does this everyday. It's natural to him. He will give you the honest facts. I never doubted he would handle my case with professionalism and empathy and I am very grateful that he was able to get my charges reduced. Go with Peter. He'll handle it!

Thank you!

It was a blessing to meet Peter and have him work on my case. I was arrested for DUI but through his great work, he was able to lower it to a Wet Reckless. This was my first offense so I relied on him greatly to walk me through the process. He was kind and patient and made sure that I was informed ev...ery step of the way. I would highly recommend Peter for your legal matters.

Great Hire!

I retained Peter Liss to fight a multiple felony DUI with injury charge(s) and he reduced it to a misdemeanor! He knows many judges and DA's out there because he's been a DA himself. I can't think of anyone better you'd want on your side to fight charges.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I was, however, a legal aid lawyer and public defender and not a D.A. before I started my private practice in 1998.

Simply a Pro

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.
