About:

Attorney Josh Tomsheck is a partner at Hofland & Tomsheck in Las Vegas, where he leads the Criminal Defense Practice Group. Widely recognized as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Nevada, Josh served as a Chief Deputy District Attorney in the Clark County DA’s office prior to founding Hofland & Tomsheck. His success in the courtroom led to his rapid promotion, ultimately assigned to the Major Violators Unit, specializing in violent felonies and firearm offenses. Josh’s transition to private practice allowed him to bring his extensive trial experience to help individuals in need. He has successfully handled a wide range of criminal cases, from DUI and domestic violence to capital murder and drug trafficking. His legal skill is evident in over 200 jury and bench trials, with a success rate exceeding 95%. Josh has also argued cases before the Nevada Supreme Court, is Death Penalty Qualified under Supreme Court rule 250, and routinely represents clients in complex federal cases as a repeat selection to the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) federal panel. Josh’s high-profile cases have garnered local and national media attention, with features on NBC’s *Dateline*, CBS’s *48 Hours Mystery*, and the Oxygen Network’s *Snapped*. His trial work has been showcased on networks like *InSession* and Law & Crime, and he frequently provides legal commentary on complex issues. Josh is nationally board-certified as a Criminal Trial Advocate, one of only two attorneys in Nevada with this distinction. He is also a Certified Specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy with the State Bar of Nevada and a member of the National College for DUI Defense.

"Josh agreed to take on my daughter’s case even though it was a rough one. We had already gone through three attorneys and they couldn’t get the results we were seeking. Of course, our goal was to get Cindy home. It was a hard case with a lot of twists and turns. In the end, Cindy came home with time served. Thank you Josh and Sarah for everything you did. I know it was a lot!"

"This is the firm you want as defense counsel if you want a lawyer that will solve problems. They may cost a little more than other Vegas lawyers, but this is a situation where you will get what you pay for, and it is worth it. If you want the best possible folks to help get you out of a bind, and then seal the records so it legally never happened, then Josh is your guy."

"Mr.Tomsheck is the man. I was facing some serious charges and was referred to his firm from another Vegas attorney. He took on my case and I was awarded the best possible outcome. The guy knows how to work. Every time we appeared at the courthouse Mr.Tomsheck was extremely well respected amongst all of his peers I knew I picked the right guy. Thanks again for eveything and helping my family and I."

"Josh Tomsheck is a terrible man, his defense of slimey, murderous men proves he has not moral nor ethical bone in his body."
