Wednesday, February 18, 2026

This week, City & State NY released its 2026 list of 50 Over 50 -- an impressive group that includes our own Jeffrey C. Hoffman alongside U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr., NYC Health + Hospitals’ Mitchell Katz and Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, and the recently retired transportation titan Rick Cotton.

More from Jeff's City & State NY profile: White-collar criminal defense attorney Jeff Hoffman has practiced law for nearly 60 years, representing politicians, executives and even other attorneys. Once a Manhattan assistant district attorney, he has focused on countering prosecutorial abuse, such as when defendants are charged with higher crimes to intimidate them into pleading guilty to lower charges. He’s most proud of the acquittal he secured for crime boss John Gotti because of what he described as the government’s intimidation of witnesses. What does he love about what he does? “Helping people and corporate entities get treated fairly by the justice system,” he says.
