I called Peter Liss and spoke with his executive assistant Erika. She was very attentive and empathetic towards my situation and contacted Peter immediately. He returned my call within 10 min . Peter provided consistent and well informed information regarding my situation. He was very caring from t...he beginning. He took the time to listen to my case and was very knowledgeable and insightful. Peter counseled me with expertise, kindness and professionalism. He explained the worst case scenario but was optimistic that he could get my case dismissed. He provided superior guidance and is extremely competent. My case was very emotionally involved. Peter is a beacon of light. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support. I am eternally grateful to Peter for dismissing my case! I highly recommend Peter Liss. There are a million lawyers out there, and I'm sure there are plenty that know how to win, but I don't think all attorneys have not only the legal capabilities but also the realness, compassion, and genuine caring about their clients that Peter has. He is the Best!

I chose Peter based on 3 criteria: Experience (he has over 30 years - mostly DUI in Vista and surrounding areas), Reviews (he has excellent reviews), and education (he went to UC Berkeley School of Law). I was involved in a DUI accident/Injury and arrested for a felony. I called Peter and he was ex...tremely experienced and laid out the factors that the DA would be taking into consideration for a plea. My BAC was .22 and it didn't look very promising. Peter worked with me to develop a strategy for which the DA understand my facts and circumstances and character. The result was a plea to a reduced charge of non-injury DUI misdemeanor with a stipulated BAC of .19. My fellow attorney friends were surprised at this (I went to law school) and a probation of 3 years (it is regularly 5 years)! I highly recommend Peter if you need representation on criminal matters, especially DUI. One last note - he and his office are extremely responsive, organized and professional.

I was under investigation and did not know what to do. I am an educated person but I am not familiar with law at all so I was scared. I came in person and had a consultation with Peter and he told me he would help right away. Surely, I hired him to be my lawyer and he took action immediately and info...rmed me what to do during the whole process. He was able to prevent charges from being filed and I could not thank him enough for being helpful and updating me continuousy. Thanks so much!

I'm a father and husband supporting our special needs son and wife with breast cancer. I also have a prior robbery. So when I was arrested I needed someone who believed in me; was compassionate about my family; and could advocate zealously. Peter Liss fit the bill. He knew my case inside and ou...t. He had judges yelling at the DA that the case was crap. Peter had command of the facts and the law. He and his clerk, Erika, always took my calls, responded to my emails, and genuinely cared for me. When probation recommended 6 years in prison I was devastated. However, I am home tonight because of Peter. I am holding my son in my arms because of Peter. I am supporting my wife because of Peter. If it were not for Peter; my family would be displaced. If you love your family and value your freedom- the choice is simple.- don't settle for less, hire Peter Liss!!

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.
