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!

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!!

Peter is a great criminal attorny

Peter Liss is not only a talented criminal attorney but also a great human being. He represented me for a misdemeanor charge. In 25 years of my living in US, I had no idea what that means. I and my wife were so scared that we had several sleepless nights. It was Peter who not only handled our case, b...ut also comforted us so that we could get some sleep during this 3 months ordeal. He knows the criminal justice system so well, we followed his advice (taking anger management course, writing a letter of apology to the judge, and doing community voluntary work) and at the end, we were happy to get out with just probation. Thank you Peter. He is accessible by phone any time of the day and late in the evenings. He was always available for a 1 on 1 meetings at our convenience. Simply put it, trust him, follow his advice and sleep well, and he will take care you. As for the fees, he charges fixed rate/case and we felt it was very reasonable.

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!
