Why Doesn’t Peter Liss Handle Traffic Tickets?
Mr. Liss is a dedicated criminal defense attorney who focuses exclusively on serious misdemeanor and felony cases. He does not represent clients in minor matters, such as speeding or running a red light, so he can devote his full attention to those facing real criminal risks.
Will a Misdemeanor Traffic Crime Appear on a Background Check?
These traffic offenses usually do not appear on background checks because California seals misdemeanor offenses unless the person is facing another charge.

Yes. Misdemeanor traffic crimes are criminal offenses, punishable by jail time. If you are arrested for a driving offense by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, you will be brought to the Vista Detention Facility, across from Attorney Peter M. Liss’ office.
