Enter, Stage Right: Another Lawyer Joins the Leonard Legal Spectacle

Second Judicial Distrcit Court filing from August 5, 2025.

Just when you thought the courtroom drama of Michael Leonard vs. Sarah Velto, Alex Velto, Connor McQuivey, Renoites, Devon Reese, and Reese Ring Velto PLLC couldn't possibly get more absurd — the script gets another rewrite.

Fresh off the wine-splashed tension of the Belleville Bar standoff between Leonard and Reese (yes, that one) earlier this year - then the police report, and following a steady stream of filings thicker than a Tolstoy novel in the 2nd Judicial District Court, a new character bursts onto the stage: Simons Hall & Johnston.

Yes, that Simons Hall & Johnston — the same firm whose associate Sandra Ketner was hired, last year, by Washoe County to investigate the Karma Box Project’s executive director. Now that’s range.

With their dramatic entrance, we can only hope they bring Broadway-level flair to the proceedings — maybe a few high kicks or jazz hands to match the legal slapstick that’s already kept us so thoroughly entertained. Frankly, this isn’t just a lawsuit anymore. It’s performance art.

Stay tuned. Because in this legal opera, just when the curtain seems ready to fall — another act begins.
