ATTORNEY MARK HUTCHISON

I have two questions for you, attorney Mark Hutchison. According to Anthony D’Anna, Gov. Joe Lombardo sent Vickie Dehart to you as a client. Is that true?

I also understand that you are a key advisor to Governor Joe Lombardo and introduced the Governor during the announcement of his 2026 reelection campaign, according to reporting done by the Nevada Current. Is that true?

The common denominator between you and Vickie Dehart seems to be Gov. Joe Lombardo.

You obviously, from your own personal website, have accomplished a lot of things. One being once elected as  Lieutenant Governor in the state of Nevada (serving as the 34th lieutenant governor of Nevada from 2015-2019). 

I also understand that you once were an LDS Mission President at your church, which is very prestigious — along with your educational background, graduating with a  J.D. from Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School. Magna cum laude, no less. Impressive.

I have another question for you, though, that I hope you can help me out with. How do you balance your religious beliefs and faith as well as your professional ethics with the behavior of the people you represent? 

I know you need to make a living, Mr. Hutchison, we all do, and I know you’re obligated to  supply the best defense for your client, but, I want you to think about what’s proper and improper. What’s ethical and unethical. What’s even Christian and un-Christian. For example, do you support allegedly taking advantage of an elderly 88-year-old man — former Piero’s owner Freddie Glusman? Are you’re willing to defend people who were trying to get their hands on the Piero’s Italian restaurant property (executed Deed of Trust by Vickie Dehart and her Diamonds NV LLC) — unethically, in my opinion — through completely unscrupulous behavior by trying to pull the wool over the eyes of an 88-year-old elderly owner? Is that really who you are as an attorney, a former counselor in a Stake Presidency, and a man of God? 

In my opinion, you need to think about all that. Not everything has a financial price. Some things have a higher price when you stop and consider Eternal Life. Maybe you should stop and think about all that and put that ahead of you and your law firm’s quest for revenue.

I’m trying to be respectful, Mr. Hutchison, you being a former Lieutenant Governor of Nevada, a highly respected LDS church member and missionary, and a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Brigham Young University’s law school — and Lord knows I am not one to cast the first stone, so to speak, and I know you know the context of that. So I’m asking you to consider all that. After all, at one time you even were Chairman of the Nevada Ethics Commission. 

There’s a difference, in my opinion, between people who talk the talk and those who actually walk the walk. Which one are you? 

Let’s talk about two of your clients, Brett Harrison and Vickie Dehart. Let me talk about Brett Harrison first. He’s a very interesting individual; I have a lot of respect for the fact that he served in the military and is a former US Navy SEAL. But I also find that his attempt to avoid service for my lawsuit does not necessarily shine a bright light on his upstanding character. In fact, just the opposite — like he wants to stay in the shadows. You’d think that a former Navy SEAL would want to take on a challenge like that head on. Confront and deal with whatever adversity was coming his way. Yet in my opinion, he chose to duck and dodge and avoid facing up to the alleged allegations of wrongdoing I’ve brought against him. 

Don’t you find that curious, Attorney Hutchison? Curious for someone who has shown he has such stalwart behavior and belief?  

It took a long time to try to serve Brett Harrison. Investigators tracked him down to a home where he was living in the state of California. Brett Harrison also has a home currently under renovation in Texas, where he claims to run his business — out of Austin, Texas. Ultimately you, Attorney Hutchison, accepted service after we went through the painstaking process of service by publication.

In an Affidavit of Due Diligence re: Brett Harrison, filed Clark County District Court, the process server trying to serve Brett Harrison with notice of my lawsuit shows multiple unsuccessful attempts at multiple locations over the course of months to serve Brett Harrison. 

A few bullet points for your review on a variety of topics: 

• I’d like to address the frivolous lawsuit Brett Harrison filed in Federal court against me in Texas, which ultimately was dismissed.
  • Brett Harrison likes to tout that his wife’s father, was the former governor of Texas, Rick Perry. (And by the way, D’Anna is the one who told me that as well.) 
  • And then there’s Vickie Dehart’s $1.5 million loan to Evan Glusman — NOT the owner of Piero’s. D’Anna made it well known that he had a relationship with Evan. I find it interesting that 30 days from the date of the loan to Evan, a Ferrari Pista was registered Vickie Dehart’s name, which she financed. 
  • Mr. Hutchison, you should make sure that you get the truth from your client, Vickie Dehart. Case in point: the night I ran into her and D’Anna at the Mayfair Supper Club inside the Bellagio in Las Vegas. We had a very cordial conversation where Vickie Dehart had told me that Brett Harrison had cost her a lot of money with Jacques Poujade, 63, of Irvine, Texas, for fraudulently obtaining a large amount of money from them. According to a Department of Justice press release on Oct. 30, 2023, Poujade pleaded guilty to securities fraud and subsequently was sentenced to five years in federal prison.
    • Vickie Dehart said in her answer to one of her responses in court that she asked me to leave during our conversation at the Mayfair. Nothing could be further from the truth. Vickie Dehart never said anything, never asked me to leave. The only thing she told me was that Brett Harrison cost her a lot of money. I thought all this was rather interesting. 
    • Question for Brett Harrison: Did you get your brother, FBI Special Agent Glenn G. Harrison, involved in that process?
  • Mr. Hutchison now that you’re first-string attorney after you replaced Peter Christiansen, my question to you is, are you aware of the unethical behavior of Christiansen?  
  • Was Vickie Dehart ignoring the relationship that she had with Piero’s Restaurant owner, Freddie Glusman? Unless she was completely out of her mind, there’s no way that looking through the pictures you see on this website that she didn’t know who Freddie and Evan Glusman were, and what their roles were in Piero’s Restaurant. Freddie was the owner and Evan was the general manager. Yet she, through her Diamonds Nevada Management, LLC gave Evan a $1.5 million loan against the deed to Piero’s? To quote from the attorney retained by Freddie Glusman and G.F.G. Piero, Inc. (“Piero’s”) and by the Glusman Family Limited Partnership (“GFLP”), that “On Thursday April 17, 2025, … Fred Glusman, first learned that Diamonds Nevada Management, LLC (“Diamonds”), purportedly loaned $1,500,000 to GFLP on or about September 24, 2024 and that you, without proper authorization or the knowledge or consent of the General Partner of GFLP, authorized Diamonds to record a Deed of Trust on GFLP’s property.”

Ouch. 

The other thing that bothers me the most about your client, Vicki Dehart, is that I understand one of your firm’s practice areas is regarding Elder Abuse. I understand your firm understands the importance of winning, but does that come at an ethical or moral cost? I ask that because I’d like to understand the context that you view Vickie Dehart’s loan to Evan Glusman, formerly of Piero’s Italian restaurant and son to the founder and owner of the restaurant, 88-year-old Freddie Glusman. 

As you can clearly see from the picture above and elsewhere on this website (link to photos) Vickie Dehart was not only a friend of Freddie’s, but she apparently had a very tight relationship with him — knew him well, as you can see from the picture of them at an anniversary celebration at Piero’s. You can see them all together along with Sigal Chattah and disgraced former Justice of the Peace, Michele Fiore. 

So, obviously, Vicki Dehart had knowledge of who owned Piero’s, had frequented the famous Las Vegas Italian restaurant for years, even posing with owner (at the time) Freddie Glusman. 

So, I find it hard to believe that she makes a loan for $1.5 million and who was referred to by the local TV station 8NewsNow as a “financial institution,” and doesn’t know anything about who the owner was (88-year-old Freddie Glusman) or was not (son, Evan Glusman). Don’t you find that curious, Mr. Hutchison? Did the idea of Elder Abuse ever cross your mind? 

I find it interesting your ties to the current Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo — being as Anthony D’Anna so proudly stated to third parties, that you have a great relationship with Governor Lombardo (and so did Vickie Dehart), and that’s how Vickie Dehart allegedly picked you as her attorney, Mark Hutchison. According to Anthony D’Anna, that’s what he was telling people. As you know, he has a hard time keeping his mouth shut. You do know who Anthony is, right, Mr. Hutchison? That would be Mrs. Vickie Dehart’s boyfriend — and, yes, I refer to her as Mrs. Vickie Dehart, because she is still married.

Last question: Mr. Hutchison, how are your ethical and moral standards, in addition to your LDS faith, squaring with you now after reading through all this?
