Amy Hoffman is a seasoned paralegal who provides valuable skills to make sure our clients and attorneys are well supported at Hansel Law. She has extensive experience in managing high volume caseloads, while adhering to multiple deadlines without missing a beat. She is in constant communication with our clients as well as opposing counsel on a day-to-day basis. From conducting initial intakes, drafting various pleadings, subpoenas, and records requests, successfully coordinating and scheduling depositions, and meetings with all involved parties, to assisting our attorneys with trial preparations. She is a key part of keeping the cases moving behind the scenes.

Amy obtained her B.S. in Criminal Justice from the University of Baltimore in 2016. Inspired by the unfortunate loss of her brother at the hands of an off-duty police officer and her desire to help others, she continues to foster and expand her in-depth knowledge of the Criminal Justice System while advocating for others who have been wronged by those in a position of power. 

For most of her life, Angelina has been a passionate advocate for prison and police reform efforts. Since joining Hansel Law in 2022, she has been able to use this passion to help facilitate change through work with our clients. She can be found managing the client’s records, organizing files, fielding new clients, and drafting various requests.  

Angelina is a graduate of Towson University with a Bachelor of Science in Law & American Civilization and will be attending the University of Baltimore’s School of Law in the Fall of 2024. During her time at Towson University, Angelina was a member of the Division 1 volleyball team and was President of the Pre-Law Society.  

Outside of work, you can find Angelina at a metal or punk show at Ottobar (a block from Hansel Law), going to the gym, tending to her pet snakes, or enjoying her time in Baltimore with friends.
