Practice Areas

Hoffman Angeli LLP is committed to providing the highest quality defense to individuals and corporations facing serious criminal allegations. We represent corporations and individuals in internal and grand jury investigations, as well as trial, appellate, and parallel civil enforcement proceedings. The depth and range of our experience provide us a vital edge in achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.

Our first commitment is to our clients. We dedicate ourselves to serving as their allies, advocates and defenders. Our service begins with assessing each client’s needs and helping to set each client’s goals. We tailor our investigative, trial and negotiation strategies to meet those objectives. The firm’s lawyers vigorously defend their clients at trial and on appeal, priding themselves on the energy, creativity, tenacity and commitment they bring to each case.

Whether or not a case goes to trial, our attorneys understand that every stage of a case requires their full attention and effort, and that pretrial preparation and strategy are as important to a successful defense as masterful courtroom representation. Of course, the best result for our clients occurs when the government declines to initiate criminal charges. Many of the firm’s greatest victories are the ones no one ever hears about—the many instances in which Hoffman Angeli LLP, through thorough preparation and vigorous advocacy, has succeeded in convincing the government to conclude an investigation without bringing charges against our clients.

Our cases involve wide-ranging federal and state criminal statutes. We are experienced in handling complex “white-collar” matters concerning allegations of environmental offenses; Customs, insurance, tax, and health care fraud; violations of the False Claims Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and federal and state antitrust laws; and theft of intellectual property, bribery, and political corruption. We also regularly defend clients against allegations of sex assault, other violent offenses, and theft and property crimes.

Our attorneys design and implement compliance programs, conduct internal investigations, and provide business counseling and guidance. Ultimately, however, we are trial lawyers, most comfortable trying cases and handling appeals. We represent our clients with great passion, and are recognized widely for the quality and effectiveness of our efforts.
