Posted by Brenden | December 17, 2015 | Hired Attorney

Criminal defense

Hello my name is Brenden I hired Mr. Liss to represent me in a case where I was charged with a felony for child abuse and a misdemeanor for driving under the influence. Without knowing my entire store and the circumstances behind it you could pass judgment quite quickly, I was absolutely scared to de...ath going into this trial because I had never been in trouble with the law before. During my arraignment the D.A'S attorney tried to raise my bail to a ridiculous amount that was the first time I had seen mr. Liss in action he strategically and aggressively shut up the prosecuting attorney and was able to keep me out on my original bond, since the arraignment mr.liss had represented several times and "held my hand " throughout the rest of my trial. Today I went in for my sentencing again mr. Liss walked up to me with that cool confidence he has as an experienced attorney and we again went in front of the judge. After all was said and done me. Liss was able to get my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and kept me from doing any jail time at all which I was completely surprised. If you are in serious trouble and need someone to represent you this is the attorney you want in your corner, had I trusted in a public defender I know the outcome would not have been the same. Coming into the trial I did not have all the money up front which he was really cool about and let me make him payments, if it wasn't for mr. Liss's years of experience as a winning attorney I would not be typing this review tonight from home. If you are in a situation where your freedom is possibly at steak this is the attorney to have representing you. Thanks again mr.liss

Hiring Peter was the best decision I could have made

I managed to get myself in a heap of trouble with two back to back DUI's (bad ones). Peter was terrific and managed to work with the prosecutors and judge and got me a really fantastic result. He went far and above my expectations and talking to people in my DUI class made me realize he did more far... more for me than other participants lawyers. While I am certain I will not need his services again I would strongly recommend anyone whose got themselves in a bad situation.

An Awesome Lawyer that I respect and recomend!

I was arrested and charged with a Felony DUI with injury and needed a top notch lawyer to help defend me. After I did my research and read many reviews on several attorney's, I chose Mr. Peter Michael Liss and I am ever so glad I did! Without going into details, I was faced with a Felony DUI with in...jury and Great Bodily Harm which could have been strike 1 and up to 3 years in jail just on that one charge alone. I was open and honest with Mr. Liss right from the start and you need to be, so he knew exactly what he needed to do to defend me in court. Mr. Liss told me right from the very first time we talked, that I was facing very serious charges and what I was looking at as far as punishments and penalties. He did not sugar coat anything and it was pretty scary for me to say the least. I have already been sentenced and because Mr. Liss did his research on my case and fought very hard for me, he was able to articulate to the court that I was a decent person who made a mistake and being labeled as a felon did not fit me and the person who I really am. I am truly remorseful and Mr. Liss has seen that in me. My Felony charge with injury was reduced to a Misdemeanor with injury and adding the Great Bodily Harm charge was NOT added either. Do yourself justice and let Mr. Liss defend you and like me, you probably will be writing one of these good reviews and thanking him for being in your corner and giving you the best defense that you deserve! I would like to say Thank you Peter once again and thank you for not only believing in me, but for the great defense and protecting me and my name. I will always be so very grateful to you!

Excellent Lawyer

We retained Peter to deal with a family member's serious DUI charges. From our first meeting through the entire pre-trial process, Peter was professional, completely candid and totally engaged in working for our best interests. He personally represented us at each court date/hearing and worked dili...gently to place our interests and concerns before the District Attorney and the Court. The final result was the dismissal of two serious felony charges and the reduction of all charges to a single misdemeanor DUI. I highly recommend Peter.

Great lawyer!

I hired Peter Liss to handle a DUI case where I was not actually driving. He heard my story and helped me with advice and kept me informed the entire time. He went out of his way to help me again and again, even dropping most of the cost since I couldn't afford it all. He got my charges reduced to a ...dry, reckless. Thanks Peter!
