About Peter Liss
If you have been charged with drunk driving in Vista or the rest of San Diego County, I can help you whether you are facing a first-time DUI, a subsequent offense, or even a DUI involving injury or death. These charges can carry serious penalties, that may include jail or prison time, a license suspension, your vehicle being impounded, mandatory attendance of an alcohol or drug program, and the installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.While many people feel they have no options in these cases, you do. Many of my clients have successfully beaten the charges and I have also secured a number of plea bargains resulting in reduced sentencing or having the charges reduced to a wet reckless.
Anyone who has been accused of driving under the influence should contact my offices as soon as possible to discuss their case. I accept all major credit cards, my offices are located right across the street from the Vista courthouse and jail facility, and I offer free initial consultations.

See Generally Session 8 of...
