Bio

Trial lawyer Josh Tomsheck is a Partner in the Las Vegas firm Hofland & Tomsheck. Mr. Tomsheck is a veteran Las Vegas Trial lawyer whose practice focuses on fighting for those being investigated for or charged with crimes.

Prior to forming Hofland & Tomsheck, Mr. Tomsheck was Chief Deputy District Attorney in the Clark County District Attorney's office, where his skills in Trial quickly elevated him to an assignment with the Major Violators Unit where he specialized in Trials involving violent felonies and firearms cases.

After many successful years as a prosecutor, Josh chose to leave the public sector so that he could focus his skill and experience to better help those in their times of greatest need. Mr. Tomsheck focuses his practice on Litigation and Trial work and has served as lead Trial attorney on hundreds of cases in Nevada municipal, state, and federal courts. Mr. Tomsheck has achieved “Not Guilty” verdicts at Trial on charges such as Murder, Attempted Murder, Sexual Assault, Assault with use of a Deadly Weapon, Battery, Robbery, Kidnapping, Forgery, Perjury, Theft related charges, Grand Larceny Auto, Exploitation, Domestic Violence and Driving under the Influence. Of the more than 150 jury and bench trials Josh has tried to verdict, his success rate is over 95%. While his practice focuses on Trial work, Mr. Tomsheck is often retained prior to the charging of criminal offenses, when his clients are under investigation by law enforcement. Josh is regularly able to negotiate with law enforcement and prosecutors to avoid the filing of any criminal charges, even in the most severe of allegations, including Murder and Sexual Assault as well as theft and property-related crimes. Mr. Tomsheck has also successfully argued many times before the Nevada Supreme Court.

Mr. Tomsheck is one of a select few criminal defense lawyers in Southern Nevada who are qualified and approved by the Clark County office of Appointed Counsel to be appointed first chair to defend Capital Murder cases in Clark County, under Nevada Supreme Court Rule 250. Likewise, Josh has been selected to multiple terms by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada to the Criminal Justice Act (“CJA”) panel to defend individuals charged with serious crimes in Federal Court.
