Local attorneys with experience you can trust.
Joshua Hilpert earned his undergraduate degree in history from the University of South Dakota, magna cum laude, in December 2006 before going on to earn a master’s degree in history and a law degree from USD in May 2010.
Before landing in Sturgis, Joshua had interned with the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office in Jackson, Mississippi, and Dakota Plains Legal Services in Rapid City, South Dakota. His practice tends to concentrate on family law and criminal defense, but he has garnered experience in a broad variety of areas, including guardianships, abuse and neglect cases, landlord/tenant disputes, and general civil litigation.
In addition to his legal practice, Joshua serves the Sturgis community by volunteering his time as a board member of Action for the Betterment of the Community (ABC) and by assisting with public service projects through the Sturgis Optimist Club.
Joshua is licensed to practice in the South Dakota state and federal courts.
During his time away from work, he enjoys hiking, playing guitar, camping, and spending time with his family. He has lived in South Dakota for well over 20 years and firmly believes there is no better place to be than in the Black Hills.
