Lee Thomas Hotchkin Jr

“Lee Hotchkin, Esq., recently represented me in a complex DMV felony case related to my hotly contested divorce, regarding a title transfer issue, related to attempting to repair a vehicle that I had purchased new in 2003 with community income… that was involved in a minor accident that the other dri...ver admitted fault, mutually trading insurance information. Due to COVID restrictions and courthouse closings, Lee Hotchkin was able to postpone the hearing for almost 3 years (with my approval) while strategically negotiating with the DA to plea bargain a trumped up felony charge that was filed by two of my older children, who were given my 50% proxy community interest in our estate without my consent, who never invested a single dollar in our LLC’s, nor the vehicle that it was titled under, all at the prodding of my soon to be ex-wife. The complexity of combining a ridiculous exaggerated felony charge, with a seemingly never ending divisive divorce, involving over-emotional older children, was a potential recipe for a disastrous outcome… that Lee Hotchkin ultimately worked to our benefit… by pleading only to a minor misdemeanor, thus avoiding a felony trumped up charge and a time consuming trial…! Although, my attorney Lee Hotchkin and myself BOTH believed that we would have prevailed at trial had we decided NOT to settle… I realized that this legal episode was not worth the resources, emotional toll, nor the expense, to prove our point and innocence while possibly bearing the potential legal liability and outcome of having to go through a jury trial… and by taking Lee Hotchkin’s professional expert advice, we were able to obtain the best possible resolution… for the least expense… whereby by pleading “No Contest”, I also avoid being sued in the future… and in one year, Lee Hotchkin will “SEAL” my criminal record… as if this nightmare never happened…! Thank You Lee…!” EDL.

Lee Hotchkin is the most honest Lawyer I've ever worked with or spoken to. Lee & Christine Hotchkin fought tooth and nail to prove my innocence on a case that was in my opinion next to impossible for anybody else to have won! His law firm had the knowledge, and patience to work with me on my case eve...n though I had little to no evidence to prove my innocence. Still he listened to me, and trusted me when I told him I didn't do it. He does EXACTLY what he says he is going to do, he kept me in the loop and he followed through! I would highly recommend him for any cases throughout Rural Northern Nevada, my case was in a very small county and he was still able to represent me when most lawyers wouldn't have taken the case.

I was facing 3 felony charges sexual assault, strangulation, coercion, after a girlfriend dialed 911 one faithful night. Was dragged to jail twice, had an ankle bracelet on me for 3 months. Lee went beyond the call of duty trying to understand my case, met with me numerous times during the 3 mon...ths, even weekends on occasions. After a stressful 3 months, Mr Hotchkin was able to get my case dismissed without prejudice right before the pre-trial, I am very grateful to him and his family for the fact that i did not have to go through an ugly trial full of lies and police bias. I literally called 10-20 lawyers in northern NV before retaining Mr Hotchkin. I felt like i hired the best representation/defense available and ended up with my case being dismissed.

In my humble opinion, Lee is the best attorney in the Reno/Sparks/Tahoe area when it comes to experience, tenacity and professionalism. He took my case which was a very serious felony case and succeeded in getting it completely dismissed. I had done my homework when looking for an attorney, but was a...fraid that the charges would not be dropped. Lee's aggressive approach and knowledge and experience of the law provided me with the best outcome that I could have hoped for. He is tenacious and want's to win the case for you and will work hard for you. He is a legal Pit-Bull !! If you have something serious going on, call him... he will do everything he can to get you the best outcome he can. That is what he promised me and he accomplished it. He will tell you the good and the bad and he is forthright, candid and honest. He hates to lose ...you cannot go wrong in hiring Mr. Lee Thomas Hotchkin Jr. as your attorney !!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have hired Lee Hotchkin as my attorney. He represented me for a DUI case I thought there was no hope out of. He was able to get my DUI charges dropped; an outcome I thought was impossible, considering the State's case against me. Mr. Hotchkin is a highly inte...lligent professional who knows his stuff when it comes to the law. However, the most important thing that I admired about Lee, is he sticks to the GOAL: He wants to WIN the case. Lee Hotchkin was always prepared, straight forward, and is truly gifted at what he does. With his commitment to successfully defending my case, I would be proud to recommend him to anyone facing legal issues. I needed someone to believe in the case and fight hard for me so that justice was served and Lee was that guy. I am forever grateful for this outcome. You can't go wrong with hiring Lee as your attorney. Thank you Lee!
