Defending Clients Against Damaging Criminal Accusations
Sometimes, good people find themselves in trouble with the law. When you are facing criminal charges, you need an attorney who understands the situation you are in and is prepared to work with you to come up with the best possible defense.
I am Theresa Hofmeister, an Escondido criminal defense lawyer committed to helping clients throughout Southern California respond to criminal allegations. I have been practicing law in California since 1994, and my practice is dedicated to helping people accused of crimes get through this time, navigate the criminal justice system and get on with their lives.
Providing Personal Service and Attention to Every Client
I represent clients who have been charged with all types of criminal offenses, from assault to theft to drunk driving. I take a comprehensive approach to my clients, keeping the focus on what I can do to help them avoid or reduce the consequences of their charges, and at the same time take other aspects of their lives and future into account, and choose the best course of action for each client
If you retain me as your lawyer, I will be your advocate at every stage of the process, negotiating with the prosecutors on your behalf and representing you at trial if necessary.
I have been practicing as a solo attorney since 1996 and have always emphasized personal attention to my clients' specific needs and concerns. The testimonials I have received speak to my commitment to understanding, respecting and effectively representing my clients.
"I chose Theresa to represent me because her fees seemed reasonable and during my consultation she put my mind at ease, not with bold promises, but with attention to detail and her own calm demeanor. When I received her text saying 'Great news,' and that my case was dismissed, well, you can imagine my relief and elation. Definitely money well spent. Thank you Theresa!"
