Nevada’s Premier Federal Criminal Defense Team

 

Facing federal criminal charges is a life-altering experience, and it demands a defense team with unmatched expertise in federal law and the intricacies of the federal court system. It also demands an understanding and knowledgeable Federal Defense Lawyer with a team of resources to not only empathize with your situation but know how to help you.  At Hofland & Tomsheck, we pride ourselves on delivering superior representation in federal criminal cases across the District of Nevada, from Las Vegas to Reno. Led by Josh Tomsheck, a Nationally Board-Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, our firm has the experience, knowledge, and resources to defend individuals against the most serious federal charges.

 

Whether you're dealing with accusations of drug trafficking, fraud, or white-collar crimes, having the right attorney by your side is critical to achieving a favorable outcome. Firm founder Josh Tomsheck and Senior Associate Jason Carr are dedicated to providing aggressive and strategic defense for every client, ensuring that their rights are protected throughout the legal process.

 

 

The District of Nevada is home to two federal courthouses: one in Las Vegas and the other in Reno. Both courthouses are equipped to handle a wide range of federal criminal matters, and at Hofland & Tomsheck, we have years of experience defending clients in both locations.

 

The Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse in Las Vegas is the main hub for federal cases in Southern Nevada. This courthouse handles everything from federal drug offenses to money laundering and conspiracy charges. Given its proximity to the Strip and Nevada's entertainment industry, the courthouse frequently hears cases related to casino fraud and financial crimes.

 

 

Northern Nevada's Bruce R. Thompson Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse in Reno serves as the primary federal court for the region. As Northern Nevada is rich in public lands, this courthouse often deals with cases involving environmental crimes and public land disputes, in addition to the more common federal offenses like drug trafficking and immigration crimes.

 

At Hofland & Tomsheck, our legal team is fully prepared to represent clients in either location, ensuring that our defense strategies are tailored to the specific nuances of the case, the court, and the federal legal system.

 

Board Certified Excellence: Josh Tomsheck holds the rare distinction of being a Nationally Board-Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, a credential that reflects his exceptional skill and success in handling complex criminal cases. This certification, held by a small percentage of attorneys, demonstrates that Tomsheck is recognized for his legal knowledge, trial experience, and commitment to excellence.

 

Former Prosecutor's Perspective: Having previously served as a Chief Deputy District Attorney for Clark County, Josh Tomsheck has a deep understanding of how prosecutors build their cases. This experience gives him a unique edge in federal criminal defense, as he can anticipate the government's strategies and effectively counter them on behalf of his clients.

 

Aggressive Defense for All Federal Charges: At Hofland & Tomsheck, we handle a wide range of federal criminal cases. Our approach is simple: we aggressively defend our clients' rights and work tirelessly to challenge the evidence presented by federal prosecutors. Here are some of the types of cases we regularly handle:

 

Drug Trafficking: Federal drug charges often carry severe penalties, including mandatory minimum sentences. We have successfully defended clients against drug trafficking accusations by challenging evidence obtained through illegal searches and questioning the reliability of confidential informants.

 

White-Collar Crimes: These crimes, such as fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering, often involve complex financial transactions. Our team is well-versed in both federal financial law and the forensic accounting methods necessary to expose weaknesses in the government's case.

 

Conspiracy: Federal conspiracy charges can be difficult to defend against, as they often rely on circumstantial evidence or testimony from cooperating witnesses. We aggressively challenge these charges by arguing that our clients were not involved in any agreement to commit a crime.

 

 

 

At Hofland & Tomsheck, we understand that federal criminal cases require an in-depth understanding of both federal law and the particular court handling the case. That's why we develop defense strategies that are specific to each client's situation and each court's procedures. We offer a comprehensive approach that includes:

 

Pre-Trial Motions: Pre-trial motions can be crucial in federal cases. Our team meticulously examines all aspects of the prosecution's evidence to identify any violations of constitutional rights, such as illegal searches, coerced confessions, or improper handling of evidence. By filing motions to suppress this evidence, we can often weaken the prosecution's case significantly, leading to more favorable outcomes for our clients.

 

Negotiating Favorable Plea Agreements: In some instances, negotiating a favorable plea agreement is the best course of action. As former prosecutors, Josh Tomsheck and Jason Carr have insight into how the government operates and what motivates them to offer more lenient terms. We use this knowledge to secure favorable plea deals that can significantly reduce our clients' penalties, including avoiding lengthy prison sentences or heavy fines.

 

Trial Defense: When a case proceeds to trial, our firm is fully prepared to present a compelling defense. Josh Tomsheck has extensive trial experience in federal courts and has secured numerous not guilty verdicts and acquittals for his clients. We meticulously prepare for trial, from jury selection to cross-examining witnesses, ensuring that our clients receive the best defense possible.

 

Post Conviction Relief and Appeals: If a conviction does occur, our work is far from over. Hofland & Tomsheck also handles federal appeals and post-conviction relief efforts, including Writs of Habeas Corpus. Our team works tirelessly to challenge unjust convictions and sentencing errors, advocating for fair treatment in the appellate courts.

 

At Hofland & Tomsheck, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of representation. From the moment you contact us, we focus on building a personalized defense strategy that addresses your unique situation. With our deep knowledge of federal law and our extensive trial experience, we are prepared to fight for your rights and your future.
