About Blog Author Jill Harness

Jill Harness author

I am a writer with over 20 years of experience writing on a wide variety of topics ranging from home design to American history. Over the years, I have been published on Mental Floss, Yahoo, USA Today, The Week, Business Insider, SF Gate, Chron, Hunker, Lifehack.org, Neatorama and more. In addition, I have written on legal topics for multiple sites including Legal Beagle and Bizfluent.

In 2011, I started working with attorney Peter Liss to create informative articles to help those browsing his site learn more about their rights and the California criminal law code. While not an attorney, I thoroughly research all articles before composing them and then ensure Peter reviews them to ensure they are fully accurate according to California legal codes and nationwide court precedents at the time they are published. It is worth reiterating though that I am not a lawyer and nothing here should be considered legal advice. Always contact a defense attorney when you have a specific legal concern.

As a full-time freelance writer and mother of a toddler, I don’t have much free time, but when I do, I enjoy cooking, reading, playing video games and doing minor home improvement projects.

The Experience You Need

I have been practicing law for over 35 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 defended many high profile 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.

Call (760) 643-4050 Now

You can call my offices any time of day, every day to speak with a live person who can help you schedule a free initial consultation. If you have any questions, I return my calls promptly and courteously.
