About Joshua โบ
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 DAโs office prior to founding Hofland & Tomsheck.

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.
Joshโs high-profile cases have garnered local and national media attention, with features on NBCโs *Dateline*, CBSโs *48 Hours Mystery*, and the Oxygen Networkโs *Snapped*. His trial work has been showcased on networks like *InSession* and Law & Crime, and he frequently provides legal commentary on complex issues.
