Kind, effective and knowledgeable. Alec is top choice for any Strike 3 related matters!

I was connected with Alec through Antonelli Law Ltd for assistance with a case related to Strike 3 Holdings sending a subpoena to my ISP. After having sleepless nights researching and trying to understand what it meant, how it all worked, and what needed to be done, his free consultation was th...e start of a supportive and effective process. Even though my case happened in CA, he reassured me that he and his firm would be able to assist with my matter. He stood out from all the attorneys I consulted due to his kind and detailed oriented service, he allowed me to confirm I understood every step of the way. His calm demeanor and optimism -grounded in facts- was a relief to my already anxious personality. Alec communicates clearly and is very responsive, he even kept in touch during the weekend due to the time sensitive nature of my case. Not only did he resolve my case successfully and anonymously, the overall cost of the matter was well below the original "guesstimate" range in our initial consultation. I endorse his capabilities and work ethics, I would recommend him to anyone who requires assistance with related matters.

He wins!

The perfect attorney has a name: Alec Dardis. I could write a lot here, but I will be brief: he is professional. He explains everything to you, and his voice calms you down. He is honest and charges fairly. He knows exactly what to do to help you. But the most important part is that he has feelings a...nd compassion. You get the sense that he is like a close relative who takes your problem as if it were his own. He wins. Alec Dardis – The Attorney!

Great Lawyer

I received from my internet provider a letter with a Strike 3 Holdings LLC John Doe IP Address subpoena attached in the mail. Needless to say, I was horrified and extremely stressed since I have never been sued in my senior lifetime. I called my internet provider's legal department and they suggested... to google my plaintiff and review the results. I immediately googled strike 3 holdings and many law firms appeared but Antonelli Law firm seemed to catch my eye. I watched a video by Attorney Jeffrey Antonelli explaining the entire process and options available to resolve this case. At this point I was sure I wanted Antonelli Law to represent on this case. I filled in the captions with my name and contact information for the free consultation and within moments I was contacted by Attorney Alec Van Dardis. He is Antonelli law firm's expert in dealing with copyright infringement cases. He reviewed my case thoroughly and explained every option available to resolve the matter. I was convinced, at this point, that I wanted Alec to represent me. Upon agreement, he actually reduced his legal fee without me even mentioning a reduction. After payment, he immediately started gathering related documents to provide me with the best defense in my case. He was very patient and helpful during the process but, most of all, he was very discreet with this matter when contacting me. Also, he was always available when I needed to contact him. Once all of my documentation was received he started the negotiation process. He started with the lowest possible amount to offer to settle. Within 2 days and many negotiation offers, my case was settled. My settlement was much lower than the estimated settlement amount. I was extremely pleased and relieved that this nightmare was finished and I didn't lose an arm and a leg in the settlement. In conclusion. I highly recommend using Alec to resolve these types of matters.

Great work

Alec was very professional in my case, kept me updated at every step of the way. He was able to reduce to settlement significantly. Worth every penny for the peace of mind he brought.
