Lee E Berlik

I had a consultation with Lee Bertlik to discuss a threat I received for a completely frivolous lawsuit. I wanted to explain the situation, bring all documentation, and get an honest assessment as to whether I should be concerned whether or not this meritless suit could potentially be a serious heada...che and attempt at just getting me to spend a lot of money for a case that would, no doubt, be dismissed. Lee listened to me; he asked the right questions; and confirmed my assumptions that the other attorney threatening a lawsuit had no legal bearing to do so. I felt so much better after our consultation, at least knowing that 1) What I assumed was validated; and 2) If I receive further threats against this attorney, I know who to call and who will be able to help me put a stop to the nonsense and abuse to our legal system. The consultation was worth every penny. Thank you Lee!

I consulted with several lawyers regarding a defamation case filed against me, and Lee was the only one to throughly read and understand my case for the consultation. During the consult he was able to quickly explain the accusations and put my mind at ease with a few defense strategies right off the... bat. Lee worked quickly and was able to get it dismissed by dismantling the entire case through an email before things progressed beyond the initial complaint. In addition, he managed to seal the case from the public in order to protect my privacy. If you're involved in a defamation case, I would highly recommend consulting with Lee. He's a straight shooter and will tell you like it is. Check out his blog too to get an idea of his extensive knowledge of defamation law. Invaluable resource when trying to understand defamation law in Virginia.

An individual with a history of physiological issues; well-beknown to us; suddenly decided without cause to take to online websites and commit several acts of harassment, libel, slander, and defamation of several of our family members and their businesses. This individual shamelessly created countles...s fake online personas and launched a smear-campaign to hurt us with no provocation from us whatsoever. I hired Lee Berlik and his partners to assist us with this complicated case spanning multiple states clear across the country and ultimately requiring filing of a lawsuit in US Federal court. Lee and his partners thwarted this individual's several failed attempts to evade process servers and brought the individual to justice. They managed to do so by working with a wide network of private detectives and process servers across the country, and after having done so successfully, subpoenaed web-hosting companies to bring the individual's nefarious online activity into light. Through their continued counsel and strong understanding of the complicated federal/local legal systems, we were able to get the resolution we sought to include removal of the perpetrator's fake online posts about us and our businesses, and furthermore obtain protections above and beyond what the courts alone were willing to grant. We strongly recommend Lee Berlik and his partners to assist in all matters of civil litigations, especially those concerning online and digital offenses. Together, they were able to help us piece our lives together again after a painful emotional experience.

In my experience with Mr. Berlik, he was very professional. He is also very knowledgeable about the laws that pertained to my specific case. Mr. Berlik was easy to retain, his payment methods to retain his services were quick and easy. Mr. Berik listened to my legal issues without presuming I was ...guilty until proven innocent, as the plaintiff had alleged. Mr. Berlik was able to get my lawsuit dismissed before it even got started due to the opposing side had 1) missed their filing statute of limitations, and 2) Had no real evidence that that warranted a cause of action. I think a great lawyer stops a lawsuit before it even gets started. Mr. Berlik potentially saved me anywhere between 30,000-50,000 in legal fees by knowing Virignia laws and how to apply them correctly. Mr. Berlik saved me from the nightmare of dealing with a frivolous lawsuit in which the plantiff was seeking upwards of $850,000+ I am truly appreciative of Mr. Berlik, and would highly recommend him to anyone. I researched several lawyers before retaining Mr. Berlik, and most of them charge an initial consultation fee, plus with attorneys, you get what you pay for, and it is a small price to pay for getting you the best outcome.

Very rarely does any judge sustain a demurrer. A demurrer says a complaint is not grounded in law and should be dismissed outright. In this case, unable to handle getting dumped by his ex, Plaintiff - Mr. Atchuthan Sriskandarajah (an attorney himself) - filed a defamation complaint against his ex & ...two other parties. The complaint was rather stupid and had very little substance. Mr. Lee Berlik represented the Defendants and absolutely crushed the Plaintiff. In fact, during discovery, when the Plaintiff realized that the case was backfiring on him, it was hilarious to see the Plaintiff cave in so quickly from his original request of $2.5 million down to 10,000 dollars. In the end, Plaintiff did not get even a penny & his case didn't make it past the demurrer. Plaintiff even tried going to the supreme court but the supreme court did not even want to listen to such a stupid complaint. Lee is the best defamation attorney & knows the law inside out. I would highly recommend Lee!
