Excellence in Criminal Law

Words cannot express our gratitude towards Attorney Peter Liss. We came to him in turmoil and fear. However with his expert knowledge in Criminal Law, we knew he would not lead us astray. He really went beyond what he needed to do to protect our rights and voice our opinions. However besides all the ...technicalities of law and court, he is just a very kind hearted person. He did not promise us things that were impossible. He was very straight forwards with us and wanted the best for us. On top of that, he is VERY familiar with everyone at the Vista court. He replied back calls instantly and always kept us informed, even if it was news that was hard to take at first. He prepared us for the worst and let us know that we would be taken care of. What was different about Peter was that I felt he was not the stereotype "lawyer". He was not the lawyer who would lie to you about your case and lead you astray. He is also not a lawyer who would take advantage of you. HIs prices were very reasonable, maybe a little too reasonable given his experience, expertise, and degree from Berkeley. Throughout the process, he acted like a very caring friend, letting us know what was to come. What you don't see anymore these days is a genuine lawyer who actually cares about his clients. At the end of the day, if you don't go to Attorney Peter, be ready to lose. We are all once again very appreciative of what he has done for the family and would recommend him 100%. THANK YOU ATTORNEY PETER AND YOUR TEAM!!!!

Peter Liss - Highly Recommended

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.

Peter Liss -The best lawyer in town

I interviewed a few top notch attorneys in town before signing up with Peter. It has been proven that I made a good decision to have Peter as my son's defense attorney. Peter's extensive legal and professional experiences, proactive approach, as well as rigorously protecting client's rights through...out the legal proceedings result in satisfactory result in an uphill battle for my son. Through this, I really feel that justice is not always to be served. You really need an excellent attorney to achieve that. Peter is that kind of attorney who can help you and you can count on. I highly recommend Peter and wish him the best in his professional endeavor.

Solid legal advice

I didn't hire Peter Liss when my college-age son got into a spot of trouble in the first week of school, resulting in a Minor in Consumption of Alcohol charge. I live out of state and was trying to figure out how to support my son and whether the Juvenile Court requirement that parents appeal with t...heir kid at their hearing would require me to fly to California. Peter kindly called me back promptly after my emailed inquiry, talked me out of hiring him (it would've cost more for his time than a plane ticket, and he wouldn't actually do anything other than sit with my son in my place), and instead helped me brainstorm the best way to handle the situation, including submitting a notarized statement explaining my absence and requesting a continuance if my presence was truly imperative. The hearing went exactly the way Peter described it, and my son is doing what he needs to do to fulfill the diversionary requirements and put this behind him. Peter's prompt and reassuring advice put my mind at ease and helped me figure out what I COULD do for my son with him so far away. Based on my brief interactions with him, I would certainly recommend him to others.

Peter Liss is an attorney who listens and cares.

Peter knows the laws, the court system and the judges. He offers logical advice and looks for loopholes in your case. He has your best interest in mind. Not only that, but he listens to you also. He has a great bedside manner and makes you feel like a friend, not just a client. I highly recommend him... and before deciding on him I had interviewed over 10 lawyers. I was happy I went with my gut feelings and chose him, you will be also.
