Tim Lohmar is a well-known legal professional who has consistently attracted interest from various forms of the press. Over the years, he has been featured in numerous news outlets such as Dateline NBC, New York Times, People Magazine, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek Magazine, and People TV.
Tim Lohmar was born and raised in St. Charles County, Missouri. He graduated from St. Charles West High School and went on to attend the University of Missouri, where he earned both his undergraduate and Juris Doctorate degrees.
After law school, Lohmar began practicing law in St. Charles while also serving as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for the City of O'Fallon, Missouri. Later, he became the first-ever Municipal Judge for the St. Charles County Municipal Court. In 2010, he was elected to serve as an associate circuit judge for the State of Missouri. Finally, in 2012, the St. Charles County Executive appointed him to serve as the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney.
As the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney, Lohmar leads a team of 24 career prosecutors and a staff of 60 professionals who have successfully prosecuted crimes such as domestic violence, sex crimes, kidnapping, child abuse, manslaughter, drug trafficking, and white-collar crimes. He is also responsible for the creation of the Special Victims Unit, the first of its kind for St. Charles County, which specializes in prosecuting sex crimes, child abuse, and domestic violence.
Lohmar is known for his insider understanding of multi-channel media operations, which has made him the first-choice prosecutor for those charged in high-profile cases in St. Charles County, Missouri. He has also been a feature of stories in venues including St. Louis Post Dispatch, UK Daily Mail Online, and On the Case with Paula Zahn.
Prosecuting High-Profile Murder and Other Criminal Cases Lohmar has prosecuted various individuals in the public limelight because of the allegations against them. He explains, "When a criminal case gains sufficient media attention, the case can be deemed high-profile. This community isn't accustomed to major crime, so when it happens, it's newsworthy. The rare and unusual circumstances of crimes often get attention from the media and the public. Many times, high-profile criminal cases occur in smaller communities, and can progress to the national or international level if the news is developed enough. We've had that happen many times."
Of course, Lohmar doesn't only prosecute high-profile murder cases, nor does he specialize in high-profile cases. However, he understands how to manage various forms of crisis and how to control the messages that are reported.
