About Darrel N. Hotz

Darrel N. Hotz is a solo general practice lawyer based in Toronto, working from an office on Old Forest Hill Road in the city's Forest Hill neighbourhood. A graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School, Hotz also completed an Executive M.B.A. at the University of Toronto and has run a private practice in Ontario for more than 35 years. The practice covers general counsel and corporate matters, residential real estate transactions, criminal defence, family law, mental health and capacity law, and wills and estates, and it accepts Legal Aid certificates.

The client base spans the Greater Toronto Area, reaching east to Durham Region and west to Halton Region. In July 2015, the firm opened a second office in Oshawa's McLaughlin Square to serve Durham clients more directly, a step covered at the time in the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce's member newsletter. Alongside the more conventional real estate, wills, and family files that make up a general practice, Hotz's mental health work includes representing clients in committeeship and capacity matters before the courts.
