Posted by JesseAnthonyWagner | April 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney

My family and I owe my freedom to Peter Liss.

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!!

Domestic violence charge in Vista

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.

Best attorney ever!

I am forever grateful to have Attorney Peter Liss represent me on my case. I was very close to having a permanent record against me that could have negatively impacted and very likely ended my professional career. From the moment that I met Peter, I felt very confident that my case was in good hands.... He worked diligently and expertly from day one and the case against me was rejected by the D.A. within a few days! I never had to go to court. He went above and beyond to help me and my case as this was a very emotional time in my life. I will be forever grateful for all that he's done. Peter and his secretary Erika were there for me from beginning until the end. Patiently addressing all my questions and concerns. They are an awesome team and I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who needs an expert attorney who is very skilled, intelligent, supportive, caring, and thoroughly knows the justice system to handle your case. I could not have expected a better outcome!

Domestic violence case

Peter Liss is a great lawyer. He is very good at what he does. Very professional and trustworthy. He got my case dropped before my court date,how is that for a hard work. Always in touch and kept me informed. With his wonderful and professional staff his office is very easy to reach. I would not pick... anyone else to represent me. Great experience overall.
