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.

Precise, down to the point, informative, and prompt. I'm glad I picked him as my attorney. Not only he handled my case professionally, but also he supported me with legal informations assuring me preparing for the best and worst outcomes. Thank you, Peter! And thank you, Erika for your warm reception....

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.

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!

Peter Liss is an exceptional defense attorney. I needed an attorney since I was facing penal code 243 (e) 1. I was wrongfully put in this situation by a mentally unstable ex-spouse. I needed someone to help me out. Peter got in touch with the city attorney's office, explained my side of the story, an...d presented all our evidence. He did a wonderful job representing me. He is extremely knowledgeable about the legal system in San Diego and was able to answer all my questions very well, and this put me at ease. I knew I was being taken care of by someone who knows what they're doing. Another reason I liked him was because he was very honest and upfront. He made no promises. He laid out the facts and stated what he would be able to do and what the potential outcomes would be. In a time like this, having an honest, enthusiastic lawyer helped me out immensely He is also extremely easy to get in touch with. He always returned my phone calls and emails. He was there to answer my questions (of which I had many). He also sent me updates via email. I was more than satisfied with this attorney. He's smart, experienced, and honest... and he seriously worked hard for me. Give him a call and you'll see why I chose him.
