About Lee
Biography
I’m Lee Berlin, a Tulsa-based sex crime defense attorney with over 25 years of exclusive experience defending clients accused of sexual offenses in Oklahoma. My practice is 100% focused on sex crime cases—including rape, child sexual abuse, indecent exposure, child pornography, and internet crimes.
Unlike general criminal lawyers, I’ve developed the Berlin Defense System, a proprietary 12-step framework tailored to the complex challenges of sex crime allegations. I also represent juveniles and youthful offenders facing charges under Oklahoma’s Youthful Offender Act, helping families protect their children’s futures.
If you’re searching for the best sex crime defense attorney in Tulsa, I offer proven courtroom strategies, deep legal knowledge, and relentless advocacy when it matters most.
