About Blog Author Jill Harness

Author Jill Harness

I am Jill Harness, a professional writer with over 20 years of experience covering topics ranging from home design to American history. In 2009, I started creating content for attorney websites for a now-defunct legal marketing firm. A few years later, I started working with attorney Peter Liss to create informative articles that allow laypersons to better understand their rights, common legal myths, and laws detailed under the California Penal Code.

While not an attorney, I thoroughly research all articles before composing them. All published content on this site is then thoroughly reviewed by attorney Peter Liss to ensure it is entirely accurate at the time of publishing. Mr. Liss verifies the material is true by checking it against the current California Penal Code, nationwide court precedents, and multiple news sources. I regularly audit and update previously published articles to ensure they remain accurate and up-to-date with changes in the state Penal Code, legal precedents, and current events.

Articles I created for Peter Liss have been linked to or used as a source by prestigious publications, including the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, and Out Magazine. My content on this page led to Mr. Liss’ blog being ranked within the top 40 sites on FeedSpot’s list of the top 90 criminal law blogs. While Mr. Liss and I do our best to ensure all information on this site is accurate and up-to-date, it is worth reiterating that nothing here should be considered legal advice. Always contact a defense attorney if you have a specific legal concern.

In addition to creating content for this site, I have written on legal topics for multiple companies, including Legal Beagle and Bizfluent. I has also been published on Hunker, Angi, Mental Floss, MSN, Apartment Therapy, Encyclopedia Britannica, Yahoo, USA Today, The Week, Business Insider, Chron, Lifehack.org, Neatorama, and more.

As a full-time freelance writer and mother, I have limited time for recreation, but I enjoy spending my free time gardening, reading, gaming, and doing minor home improvement projects.

The Experience You Need

I have been practicing law for over 40 years, and opened my own law firm in 1998, after serving as Assistant Supervising Public Defender for the Vista Public Defender’s Office. I have successfully defended hundreds of cases in my career, fighting charges ranging from drunk driving to capital murder.

Two Easy-to-Find Offices

My Vista offices are located just off the 78 freeway, directly across the street from the local courthouse and jail facility. For those further south, I have another office in Carmel Valley, off the 5 freeway and highway 56. Both offices offer free parking.
