“Mind Your Manners, Tell the Truth, Know the Law.“

About Me

My interest for the Law mergers with Science and Medicine, and they are equally fascinating to me. In early 2000’s I had an incredible opportunity to become part of the staff at Loma Linda University Medical Center, working as a Research Assistant for the Neurosurgery Department of Advanced Mental Disease under the guidance of Doctor Wolf Kirsch.

A combination of life decisions led me to pursue my career in Law and I could not be happier. While attending law school, I interned for the District Attorney’s Office, where I developed my passion for Criminal Law.

I choose to deal with life always with a hint of humor, looking for the silver lining. In summary, I like to think of myself as a realist with a strong inclination towards optimism.

As for my personal life, I am married to Sidney Jones, an Orthopedic Surgeon, practicing in Butte County and a mother of two beautiful children, Ingrid and Max.

“I have known Deborah since August of 2017 where she was a student of mine at Cal Northern School of Law. As a law student, she showed great dedication to learning, understanding and applying her knowledge of the law. She enthusiastically participated in class and helped her fellow classmates understand some of the more challenging legal concepts and how to apply them correctly. This stood out to me and showed me a real leadership quality in Deborah. It further demonstrated that Deborah has a deep understanding of her studies and the ability to lead and teach others.

After graduation from law school, I continued to work with Deborah as she prepared for the California Bar Exam. I was extremely pleased to find her dedication to her studies, and her work ethic, continue during preparations for this very difficult exam. Deborah continued to demonstrate her advanced knowledge and control of he law as well as an ability t effectively communicate that knowledge in writing. I found it all the more impressive that Deborah was able to exhibit the level of legal knowledge she has given English is her second language.”

Jason L. Palmer, Esq. | Attorney/Professor

“What strikes me the mores about Deborah is her "can do" attitude. She is intelligent and resourceful. In the classroom she asked questions and looked for creative ways to solve problems which were posed by those questions. She is highly motivated, sets high standards for her performance and has a tremenduos capacity for work as evidenced by her ability to successfully juggle law school, her intership with the D.A.'s office, and her many family commitments.

Throughout her study at Cal Northern, Deborah rarely missed a class, was always prepared and always conducted herself with the utmost integrity. In addition to being dependable and reliable, she is the type of person who always thinks carefully before taking on a task and then once taken on she is committed to achieving her goal.”
