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!

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.

Best in the Business

I recently got a DUI. and I blew a .12, which isn't terrible considering it was my first. However I hit another driver in the process (on the freeway mind you) totally wrecked his car and also injured the lone passenger. It was really scary, and automatically I was going to be convicted with a DUI F...elony. I was absolutely terrified because I had a clean record and now I was going to get a Felony! That's a stain that pretty much never can be expunged off your record. So I did my research and contacted around 8 different attorneys/legal firms in the San Diego County area. Some of them dealt specifically with DUI's others did a variety of legal practices. I found Peter Liss online through another attorney, who referred Mr. Liss to me. Boy did he come through for me! I didn't have to serve any extra jail time, I ended up with a DUI Misdemeanor which is essentially a slap on the wrist and only 3 months of OHS classes as rehabilitation. He also was diligent enough to get my fines reduced, not to mention he was very flexible as far as the cost. It wasn't an arm an a leg to retain him, and any time I needed him he was there (un-like the public defender I was assigned).

Excellent Attorney

I hold Peter Liss in the highest esteem as a caring and passionate Attorney. He gave me all the time I needed and always returned my calls, if not immediately but on the same day. I think it is rare that you find a lawyer who takes such a deep and caring interest in one’s case. He gave me a full ...and thorough perspective of the law in my particular situation and asked questions and gave explanations that I felt confident in his ability. Seeing him in action in the court room re enforced how fortunate I was to have him as my Lawyer. The judge and the opposing defense lawyer even praised him for the good arguments he presented on my behalf. I was successful with my Writ and credit his thorough research and quick ability to counter argue and think quickly on his feet which undoubtedly led to my success. I highly recommend Peter. He is an excellent Attorney in every sense of the word.

Domestic violence case

Peter Liss is a great lawyer. He is very good at what he does. Very professional and trustworthy. He got my case dropped before my court date,how is that for a hard work. Always in touch and kept me informed. With his wonderful and professional staff his office is very easy to reach. I would not pick... anyone else to represent me. Great experience overall.
