Excellent, reliable lawyer

I was facing a DUI felony car accident with bodily injury in the Vista Court System and was scared beyond belief. I had no record. First time I had ever been in trouble. Peter was very resourceful and practical and truly did his best to ease me through the process. The outcome was great. My case ...got reduced to a DUI misdemeanor. Bodily injury was dropped from the charge. I had to serve no additional jail time. 3 months of DUI classes and a one month license suspension with 5 months of license restriction pales in comparison to the week long ankle bracelet and 1 year license suspension and who knows whatever doom I thought I was facing. Peter does this everyday. It's natural to him. He will give you the honest facts. I never doubted he would handle my case with professionalism and empathy and I am very grateful that he was able to get my charges reduced. Go with Peter. He'll handle it!

Helped our family during a truly trying time

We hired Peter to represent us in court and with the DMV. Peter was recommended to us by a very close friend. Peter took over our case and acted 100% as our advocate, keeping us closely informed along the way. Thanks to Peter, our case was settled with the best possible results considering the cir...cumstances. We strongly recommend Peter and are very happy we found him.

My family and I owe my freedom to Peter Liss.

I'm a father and husband supporting our special needs son and wife with breast cancer. I also have a prior robbery. So when I was arrested I needed someone who believed in me; was compassionate about my family; and could advocate zealously. Peter Liss fit the bill. He knew my case inside and ou...t. He had judges yelling at the DA that the case was crap. Peter had command of the facts and the law. He and his clerk, Erika, always took my calls, responded to my emails, and genuinely cared for me. When probation recommended 6 years in prison I was devastated. However, I am home tonight because of Peter. I am holding my son in my arms because of Peter. I am supporting my wife because of Peter. If it were not for Peter; my family would be displaced. If you love your family and value your freedom- the choice is simple.- don't settle for less, hire Peter Liss!!

Great Hire!

I retained Peter Liss to fight a multiple felony DUI with injury charge(s) and he reduced it to a misdemeanor! He knows many judges and DA's out there because he's been a DA himself. I can't think of anyone better you'd want on your side to fight charges.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I was, however, a legal aid lawyer and public defender and not a D.A. before I started my private practice in 1998.

Excellent Lawyer

I was arrested based on an alleged comment during an argument with my girlfriend where she called 911 out of anger, not fear. The problem is that I was arrested with felony probably cause (PC422). I have never been arrested in my life and ended up spending the night in jail with $50K in bail. This wh...ole thing was crazy and thanks to Peter I finally got some peace of mind. He wrote a letter to the DA and got the case rejected before any charges were filed. Seeing the justice system from the inside was something I thought I would never do, but thank God for people like Peter Liss. He is on par or cheaper than most attorney's but probably in the top 1 or 2% in my opinion. Thank you Peter!
