Amazing Lawyer

Peter Liss is an amazing lawyer! My original lawyer passed away and I wanted representation for my final hearing and dismissal after taking PC1000. While my situation was very unusual, Peter did not hesitate to take my case and appear at my dissmal hearing. In addition to making sure my case was dism...issed, he requested that my initial charge be reduced to a misdemeanor as well as having the arrest record sealed and destroyed. All of which the judge did not want to grant because it was "getting dismissed anyways". I wanted these extra steps taken so it could not hinder my future job applications (as some background tests will show arrests). Peter reasoned with the judge and ensured that we got what we wanted. He listened to what I wanted as well as making further suggestions to benefit my future. I would reccommend Peter to any prospectee, as he is respectful, diligent, and cares about each case.

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!

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!!

Thank you!

It was a blessing to meet Peter and have him work on my case. I was arrested for DUI but through his great work, he was able to lower it to a Wet Reckless. This was my first offense so I relied on him greatly to walk me through the process. He was kind and patient and made sure that I was informed ev...ery step of the way. I would highly recommend Peter for your legal matters.

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.
