Peter Liss on the top of our List

Mr. Liss was extremely diligent in handling our son's case. He kept us informed of progress and possible outcomes. His representation of our son in court resulted in a better than expected outcome. His fee is reasonable and he will return calls promptly and after normal working hours. We recommen...d him highly to anyone needing his area of expertise.

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!

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!

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.
