Peter Hoffman began with Legal Aid of Western Missouri (LAWMO) in 2010 as a law student and joined Legal Aid’s Economic Development Unit as an attorney in early 2013. In that capacity, he represents dozens of urban Kansas City nonprofits, community organizations, and residents toward equitable redevelopment of blighted and abandoned properties. In 2015, he became the project director of LAWMO’s “Adopt-a-Neighborhood Project,” a Legal Services Corporation Pro Bono Innovation Fund grant recipient through which urban neighborhoods are paired with volunteer attorney support from local law firms. He received his JD/MPA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he served as an officer for several student organizations and was program editor for The Urban Lawyer.
