I Know How
Prosecutors Think —
Because I Was One.

I spent decades as both a state and federal prosecutor. I was in those rooms where police briefed us on cases — the strengths, the weaknesses, the things they hoped defense attorneys would never find. Now I use that knowledge to defend you.

Why Joseph V. Hoffer

I Have Been in the Rooms
Where Your Fate Was Decided.

I am not just an attorney who has read the law. I have lived it from both sides of the courtroom for nearly four decades.

As a state and then federal prosecutor, I was in the rooms where police walked us through their cases before a single charge was filed. I heard what they told us — and I know what they left out.

I made the charging decisions. I trained the younger attorneys in the District Attorney General’s office. I know their tactics because I taught them. Now I use everything I know to defend you.

Prosecution & Defense
