I chose Peter based on 3 criteria: Experience (he has over 30 years - mostly DUI in Vista and surrounding areas), Reviews (he has excellent reviews), and education (he went to UC Berkeley School of Law). I was involved in a DUI accident/Injury and arrested for a felony. I called Peter and he was extremely experienced and laid out the factors that the DA would be taking into consideration for a plea. My BAC was .22 and it didn't look very promising. Peter worked with me to develop a strategy for which the DA would understand my facts and circumstances and character. The result was a plea to a reduced charge of non-injury DUI misdemeanor with a stipulated BAC of .19. My fellow attorney friends were surprised at this (I went to law school) and a probation of 3 years (it is regularly 5 years)! I highly recommend Peter if you need representation on criminal matters, especially DUI. One last note - he and his office are extremely responsive, organized and professional.

Peter is probably the most outstanding criminal defense lawyer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with . He was on point on every question and concern me and my family had about our case, his attention to detail was impecibile! He turned a almost bleek situation into an incredible outcome, because he does not give up, he fought hard for my case and never ceased to amaze us, . I would recommend him and have recommended him because of his experience in the judicial system and an attorney that knows his business. Thanks Peter always in your debt. Kurt

I was in a tough position. I needed the right advice. The right lawyer. I needed help Right Away. I found Peter Liss to be the RIGHT attorney. He was always available - always willing to answer my questions, and always kept me informed of things to come. He understood not only my charges, by my life and the impact of the charges on my family. Peter was a tremendous help to me, my family, and my future. I would greatly recommend Peter for anyone who cares about their family and their case. - Jesse

Peter is the MAN!
My ex-husband used law enforcement to gain the upper hand in our divorce, and was so good at it that he managed to set me up for a false arrest. Beware, if someone ever opens the door of your moving vehicle. Stop your car and call the police yourself, because you may be being set up! Yes, if you don't and you just drive away in fear, like I did, the police can come and find you and ask you questions. If you are frightened and upset and naive enough to speak to them, they may eventually be able to string just enough together to put hand cuffs on you and take you to jail. That is what happened to me, and it was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I had no idea that I was being set up. Since then I have learned all of the tell-tale, textbook signs, but at the time I was in total shock and had no idea what to do. I was given the name and phone number of Peter Liss and after my first interaction with him my stress levels reduced dramatically. He got right back to me, and it was after working hours. He explained everything to me. He prepared me for what to expect. He coached me. He showed up so calm and cool and collected and then HE FIXED EVERYTHING. He saved my career. He is so razor sharp that he does not even need notes in court. I'll be indebted to this amazing man for the rest of my life. I'm so very sorry if you are reading this you must be frightened and in some unexpected trouble too. Do yourself a favor and call Peter. He will help you!

Best attorney, hands DOWN! Don’t have any doubt if you’re looking for the best criminal defense attorney - just call Peter Liss & his team. Peter got me out of the toughest spot in my life - and continues to amaze me with his extraordinary legal expertise. 2 felony DUI charges, yet no jail time for me and a possibility to have these knocked down to a misdemeanor in the future. THANK YOU Peter Liss, you’re a blessing!

Look no further than Peter. He is top notch, responds quickly and is absolutely worth every penny. He told us exactly what was needed to clean up my son's mistake before his court date and fought for our son to get a dismissal.

Peter Liss was obtained as counsel after meeting with 3 different attorneys. He was the right choice for representation. Peter is engaged, professional and follows through. He makes all the judicial speak and process understandable for the client and family. Legal strategies and options are well communicated. In court, the sitting judge responded to Peter's request for continuance stating, "Due to the court's high esteem for counsel....." Peter is prompt and prepared for court meeting with both client and family to guide the process. Peter's law office is well run by assistants Erika and Espi who are timely and accurate with communication and follow up. I appreciated the interested, knowlegeable and ethical approach to our family member's case. Thank you Peter.

Mr. Liss is a very professional, realistic, and conforting not only as a lawyer but as a humam being. He was able to reassure me and my family that under my circumstances I had some obstacles that I was going to need to overcome after my court but was also able to comfort us in a way where we knew it was going to be okay and he was the right mam for the job. His staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home and almost like family and even helped me with felxible hours and locations to meet. Peter was able to get my charges lowered even when it started to seem impossible. Id definitly recommend him and god forbid but if needed id for sure go back to him! Thank you Mr. Liss!

Attorney Liss recently represented a family member with the utmost professionalism and competence. In fact, his hard work resulted in a complete dismissal of all charges brought by the State. As a retired law enforcement officer and lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Peter.

Mr. Liss represented my Daughter in court on two serious charges.

He was responsive, informative, understanding, and diligent.

He used his experience to work miracles in court. He handled a 'surprise' first realized in court when a serious charge was not removed which had been agreed upon. He handled the situation with professionalism and obtained the desired result. He also got the fines reduced and obtained a desirable result on a second charge.

He made several court appearances when my Daughter was slow to satisfy the conditions of the second charge and did so without being critical.

Not only is he a great attorney, he’s also a great person. He’s easy to work with and cares about people. We need more like him.

I quickly became confident my Daughter was in good hands. I recommend him and would use him again. I don’t know how anyone could have done better.

A few months ago I was involved in the biggest mistake of my life, the cold hard truth of facing a DUI. I have never been arrested and or been involved criminal activities. Yet, here I was facing an unfamiliar situation with many questions and worries. My relative who hired Peter to represent her during a DUI dilemma she experienced highly suggested I call him immediately and seek legal representation. After, speaking with Peter and his law office team Erika and Espi, I felt completely at ease. When I had my first face to face meeting with Peter, he told me exactly what charges I could potentially be facing and provided sound legal counsel which he deemed to be in my best interest. The day of my final court hearing Peter represented me in my abscence so I could attend to my professional duties at my office. Later that afternoon I received a very enthusiastic phone call from Peter and he delivered the best case scenario that could of came of a terrible situation. I was ecstatic, the sense of relief that came over me was incredible. Even after, my final court date I needed an extension on processing a condition of my DUI, due to my work schedule/load I knew that I would not be able to meet the deadline which could lead to a warrant for my arrest. Furthermore, knowing the severity of the consequences I called his office and spoke to Erika, I inquired if Peter could possibly help obtain me an extension. I was not promised or guaranteed anything other than the office would see what they could do. An hour or so later I received a VM and an email confirming that Peter would make it happen and get me
exstension necessary. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WOW........, I work in a customer/client satisfaction professional environment and to receive the same satisfaction that I strive to deliver in my place of business was impressive.

Thank you Peter/Erika/Espi for all your help and legal counsel during this very stressful time of my life.

Your patience and professionalism is unrivaled, best money I ever spent.

Respectfully,

Digital Bath

Attorney Peter Liss is an outstanding Lawyer, he goes above and beyond. He responded to emails on Christmas Day and on weekends. I appreciated his willingness to explain everything that was going on in case and answer any questions. His staff is also very attentive, patient and understanding. Our family felt so well represented and have so much faith in his dedication and hard work for his clients.
If you need a attorney he is the Man you need! I can not express enough how important it is to go to court for anything with a well prepared and intelligent attorney.
Thank you Mr. Liss! you are GREATLY appreciated!

Extremely impressed at the level of professionalism and integrity Peter possesses. There are no guarantees in outcomes obviously, however, we knew all options during the process. Our specific case strategy was thoroughly explained and the outcome was better than we expected. I do not write these but was compelled to share after our wonderful experience from beginning to end. He called me on his birthday no less! I hope he takes your case -

I called Peter Liss and spoke with his executive assistant Erika. She was very attentive and empathetic towards my situation and contacted Peter immediately. He returned my call within 10 min . Peter provided consistent and well informed information regarding my situation. He was very caring from the beginning. He took the time to listen to my case and was very knowledgeable and insightful. Peter counseled me with expertise, kindness and professionalism. He explained the worst case scenario but was optimistic that he could get my case dismissed. He provided superior guidance and is extremely competent.
My case was very emotionally involved. Peter is a beacon of light. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support. I am eternally grateful to Peter for dismissing my case! I highly recommend Peter Liss.
There are a million lawyers out there, and I'm sure there are plenty that know how to win, but I don't think all attorneys have not only the legal capabilities but also the realness, compassion, and genuine caring about their clients that Peter has. He is the Best!

My son was in Juvenile Hall. Within a week of contacting Mr. Liss, my son was released to complete his semester so he would not fail all of his classed and delay his high school graduation (the public defender had told my son he would need to stay in Juvenile Hall for at least another 6 weeks). Mr. Liss uses his tremendous experiences to get the results for my son quickly and effectively. If I need a lawyer in the future, I will definitely ask Mr. Liss to represent me. Mr. Liss is professional, strategic, experienced, well-connected, honest, and dependable.

Fortunately, I found good advice and sites that lead me to this wonderful man. Peter listens. He is down-to-earth, compassionate, responsive and effective. His staff is marvelous! Thank you, Erika. We were facing some of the most painful, challenging months of our lives and somehow, Peter got us through it. He is gracious, polite and professional. He has 36 years of experience and is well educated. He is a super lawyer, who is well respected by his peers and the courts. Look no further. Peter Liss is worth every penny. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Love, love, love this attorney and his staff.

I can’t explain how grateful I am for Peter. I was looking at some serious punishment, and Peter worked his magic and was able to do what I did not think was possible. I would absolutely recommend Peter to anyone that finds themselves in a bad criminal position. His job is to fight for you and that’s exactly what he did for myself and my family, and he did it flawlessly. Thanks again Peter!

Peter Liss has many years of experience and is well known at the Vista Courthouse. He helped my family thru a horrible arrest and negotiated the lowest possible charges available. Peter was able to communicate the best possible deal with the D.A. and save my family the awful ordeal of going to trial. He also got the fines reduced. We will use Peter and his staff as a defense attorney to complete the final phase in this case.

All I can say is... Peter Liss SAVED MY BUTT.

Big time.

You see, I did something really dumb: I crashed my brand new M4 while drag racing.

And my BAC was over .1%.

To make matters worse, I had a friend in the car who ran right before the cops showed up (and they were PISSED when they figured out someone had fled the scene.)

I was charged with a DUI, and found Peter on Yelp. His reviews were superb, so I decided to give him a call.

On our introductory phone call, Peter managed my expectations. He said "Look... you crashed your car with a .12% BAC. There's about a 70% chance you're going to be convicted of a full DUI. But I'll do my best to help you."

I appreciated how direct Peter was – in other words, he wasn't trying to sell me the world, and he spent quite a bit of time asking me intelligent questions about the incident and then educated me about our strategic options.

So I pulled the trigger and hired him.

BEST MOVE EVER.

Because Peter worked his magic, charmed the DA, and convinced her to drop the charges down to a 'wet reckless'.

For the record, a 'wet reckless' comes with significantly less penalties, and you don't have a DUI on your record.

Bottom line: If you (like myself) made a stupid mistake, and you've found yourself in some hot water... then GO WITH PETER LISS.

He's your best bet.

Unfortunately I am writing this review because I got myself in trouble once again. FORTUNATELY I found Peter Liss. I have had attorneys in the past and have watched them pass off my case and basically just take my money. Peter is an amazing lawyer and person. From the very beginning he was honest about the possibilities for the outcome of my case and never tried to sugar coat anything. He is truly a magician in the court room. He commands respect from the Judge and the prosecution and stands by his clients to get the best possible outcome in every case. I was by no means innocent and I was facing some big time trouble, Peter %100 saved my behind and not only kept me out of prison but ensured I could stay on the right path to recovery. I am eternally grateful to him and his staff!!!

Peter gave me some of the best and most personal service I could have ever asked for. Not only did he take care of my case and get me the best results, he also cared about my educational life, ensuring I was doing well in school and meeting my goals. I felt cared for in every way which is definitely not something a lot of lawyers offer. He was promptly on time, quick with answers, and very knowledgable about the law system. He also is quite well known in the Vista courthouse which is always a plus! The thing I love most about Peter as a lawyer is he will go above and beyond for you to ensure the best and most convenient process for you. He is so incredibly reliable and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer whose personable and gets great results.

I first contacted Peter Liss after reading many of his great reviews. Being stuck in a difficult situation, I felt that along with his impressive credentials, he was best suited in helping me with my case. And I wasn't wrong! From the start, Peter was very realistic about what the outcome of my case may be with the cards being stacked against me. But, with Peter I received the best possible outcome and could not be more thrilled! Not only that, but with Peter he resolved my situation quickly, efficiently, and confidently while walking me through and coaching me through the entire process. I am convinced that if I had chosen anyone else to handle my case I would still be stuck in a difficult situation. For that reason I am extremely thankful that I found Peter Liss!

If you are every between a rock and a hard place ~ Attorney Peter Liss is the only call to make. I was in a difficult position and had the cards stacked against me. Peter knew exactly how to handle a stern - aggressive prosecutor and was able to convince a judge (who was a former lead prosecutor) that this case was not what the DA made it out to be. Peter was always available to take my calls and emails. I was always informed of what was going to happen next. And when in Court, he had the Judge yelling to the DA that their case makes no sense! What lawyer can get that to happen? Only PETER LISS. He's trusted by judges and that is what kept me home with my family rather than a prison cell.

We owe him everything!

There are 3 criteria that I applied to the 5+ lawyers that I spoke with about my situation and they are as follows:
1) Experience
2) Knowledge
3) Intelligence

I've found that Peter Liss has all of these in spades.

When I met with Peter last month, he had a level of experience that only comes with age and experience. I spoke with more than 5 lawyers and Peter's calm and clear demeanor about my situation was very evident compared to his peers. You don't want to go with a young and eager beaver criminal lawyer. I found that Peter's experience was very helpful in how he articulated what was going to happen. He was very easy to speak with and did not try to instill fear into me like some lawyers.

Peter was also very knowledgeable. He knows the court system, the law and probably most important, the DA's office (I personally thought this was helpful to get a deal done). If you've been a lawyer long enough, you hopefully will know the law and how court works. But how do you know if someone is knowledgeable? In my conversation with Peter, I found him to be self-aware of what he could do and would do and what he would/could not. His reasoning and thought process about how he would advocate for my situation showed me that he knew what he was talking about.

Lastly, he's smart. There are some lawyers that I spoke to that made my situation sound difficult and complicated. Peter simplified things for me. He narrowed my situation down to the core elements and gave me a black and white picture and showed me where the grey area was. I've death with all kinds of people all my life and I find that the smart ones take complicated situations and distill them down to what's important. Dumb people just keep talking and don't know what they are talking about. Peter immediately grasped my situation and was able to pinpoint what I was up against. No BS and no sugar coating but also did not do it in an offensive manner.

I hope my situation ends positively and yes, I'm writing my review early on before any sentencing because this is how I feel about Peter right now.

I have used Peter Liss on several occasions to handle some very complicated legal issues and have never been disappointed. He is an outstanding criminal attorney and is more than capable of presenting the human side of your case. He is accomplished, dedicated and honest; he never oversells your situation, while offering you realistic options to your situation. But more importantly, it is his personal touch that goes beyond the case at hand; he continues to follow up well after the case is complete. I would recommend Peter to anyone in need of support when facing a criminal matter.

I got myself into some trouble and I needed an attorney. I was referred by a friend to Attorney Peter Bliss. That very first day I called his assistant Erika was really comforting and able to get me in that same day. I was really emotional and needed to talk to someone right away,it was my first time getting into any trouble. As soon as I walked in Erika was really professional and friendly. She assisted me right away. I was able to talk to Peter Bliss about my situation he was really professional and explain the whole process to me. I was completely lost didn't know what to expect, I felt a big relief after I spoke him. My case took a few months,but it was well wroth it. My record would've been ruined if it wasn't for Peter Bliss. I would highly recommend Peter Bliss and his amazing assistants.

After never needing the services of an attorney before, I suddenly required those services following an automobile accident and arrest. I hired Peter Liss after reading his reviews and cannot begin to express how happy I was with the service he provided, from our initial meeting to the very happy conclusion of my case Peter was Friendly, compassionate, funny, and thorough and above all a “Bull Dog” in the court room.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about his level of integrity and knowledge. Mr. Liss helped us when our daughter was going through a difficult time. He answered calls promptly and navigated the course to have all charges dismissed. He does not over charge for services and he doesn't make promises. He just proceeds methodically, proactively and swiftly to get the best possible result. He's a Godsend and we are very grateful for his assistance!

If you need an attorney, you owe it to yourself to research and interview available attorneys within the jurisdiction of the court. I did just that and was fortunate enough to find Peter Liss.

I reached out to Mr. Liss over a weekend and was surprised to receive a call back rather quickly. I explained our situation and he answered a number of questions for me. I scheduled a meeting him for the following week and sat down for a free consultation. Mr. Liss reviewed my notes on the case then discussed the options and possible outcomes. He did not make any promises, which I very much appreciated. His thorough description of the court process and knowledge of the DA and Judges within Vista Court system helped to make the biggest decision of our daughters life a very easy and comfortable one. It was clear that Mr. Liss was the right choice.

To be clear, Mr. Liss was not the first or only attorney that I met with. I did my research and met with a few local attorneys to help decide who would handle my daughters case. Her future career was at stake and I wanted to look each attorney in the eye and make sure they wouldn't handle this as 'just another case'. Peter Liss stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The outcome of the case turned out much better than expected. My daughter can now put this mistake behind her and move on with her life and career. I would, without a doubt, recommend Peter Liss to friends, family and community members if they find themselves needing a qualified attorney. Many thanks to Mr. Liss and his wonderful team!

Peter Liss is one of the best Attorneys out there. He helped both me and my spouse get through the legal system with ease. He explains everything is non legal terms and goes out of his way to help you the best way he can. He is always willing to sit down and talk to you about any questions you may have and returns your phone calls as fast as possible. I know if we ever have a need for a attorney i would go back to him with the feeling that he would take care of us.

Peter was wonderful. My family went through a very difficult time when my brother was arrested. Peter was extremely helpful and patient. He went out of his way to explain everything to us in laymen's terms. He visited my brother in jail on a daily basis and kept in touch with us. Most important, Peter always returns his phone calls. Peter really helped us all through a horrific experience. The end result was much more than we could have hoped for. Peter got my brother released from jail and all the charges were dropped. I hope we never need a criminal attorney again but if we do I will call Peter Liss. I highly recommend him.

I recently had the opportunity to observe Mr. Liss at a preliminary trial and his skills convinced me that if a member of my family ever needed a criminal attorney, I would seek his services. At trial, Liss was so effective and persuasive that he achieved a great result for his client. Most attorneys would have agreed to a quick plea but Liss was persistent and would not settle for anything less than the desired outcome. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is seeking a great criminal lawyer.

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 Felony. 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)

Straight forward kind of guy told me exactly what was going to happen and what to expect...Good to know that the guy on your side has known the judges for over 15 years

Peter helped me with a legal problem that had hung over me for almost 30 years! He spoke to me, explained his plan and within a few weeks my 30 year old problem was gone! From the very beginning he seem truly concerned and made me feel confident that he word do his best to help me with my problem. I live in New York and Peter responded quickly to all my e-mails and saw to it that I did not have to travel to California to get this matter resolved. I only wished I had contacted Peter sooner.

Thanks Peter and tell your Assistant Erika I really appreciated her taking my call from her home when she was out sick from work. Hope she's felling better.

I highly recommend Peter Liss! I could not be happier with the outcome of our case. Peter is intelligent, hard working, confident, responsive, and honest. Watching him, it was evident that he is well connected and knows his way around the Vista court system. Legal problems are very scarey. The impact personally, professionally, and financially is huge. Having the right lawyer to represent you is crucial! If you are involved in a criminal matter, I whole heartily advise you to meet with Peter. His office is also located right across the street from the court house.

I recently retained Peter Liss for my son and I couldn't be happier with the job Peter did. I, and my son,highly recommend Mr. Liss to anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation.

I have two boys, each of whom have now done something stupid, and have learned from their mistakes. The lawyer I retained for my oldest son can not hold a candle to the professionalism displayed by Peter Liss. Peter explained very professionally and thoroughly the process and possible outcomes to my son. He patiently answered all our questions and handed crying Mom a tissue. Peter handled the DMV hearing as well as the Vista Superior Court hearing. And we are forever thankful for the excellent outcome. There are consequences for poor decisions, that is only fair, with Peter's service we feel the court handed down a punishment that fit the crime. Peter's guidance and knowledge thru the process was invaluable.

Peter Liss is the man! im not sure what this person is talking about him being two faced, he was very up front and proffessional. i got a dui on the 4th of july (i'm 19), i called peter he was very helpfully and comforting, he got my dui down to a wet n reckless AND I STILL HAVE MY LICENSE, he KNOWS what he is doing and does it very very well, he knows the vista courts aswell as the judges and works very hard on the case you bring to him. he makes you fell like you are his only customer. I will be referring all my friends and family to mr. liss from now on!

I would like to highly recommend Peter Liss as an attorney for any circumstances that you have for criminal offense in the city of Vista. Myself, my husband and sister-n-law have all used Peter Liss. He's highly recommend from not only myself but from the city of Vista. He will state your case and get you results as best as he can. He has never ever once gave illegitimate or given us false information. He is a wonderful attorney if you have to get an attorney for a criminal offense or criminal lawyer for the city of Vista. Please use Peter Liss.

My mom and dad found Peter for me when i was going through the hardest time in my life. Not only did he reassure me time and time again on how much he was going to help me, but his assistant did too. She was really nice and made sure to tell me Peter was going to make this all better and not to be so worried. Peter Liss never sugarcoated anything and did what he told me. To the person who keeps thinking he's a 'douchebag', you are obviously talking about yourself or another Attorney because Peter is none of the things your talking about. He always did what he told me in his office, or over the phone. He never switched his story in front of the Judge. And I ALSO think that he is way to busy to be writing his own reviews. Talk about the experience you had with him not about how much you dislike him. Peter was an amazing Attorney, with a great attitude and a great sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help and I will continue to thank him for all the help he did for me and my family. He did not judge me and stood by my side on my decisions.
