Biography

Virginia lawyer Lee Berlik devotes his practice largely to business litigation, defamation claims (libel, slander, and cyber-bullying), non-compete agreements, and trade-secret disputes. He spends most of his time handling cases in Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and federal court in Alexandria.

After a survey of judges and lawyers throughout Virginia and the District of Columbia, Martindale-Hubbell awarded Lee Berlik the nation's highest and most prestigious legal rating, AV, putting him in the top 3% of all United States litigation attorneys. In both 2012 and 2013, Virginia Business Magazine recognized Lee Berlik as among the best litigation lawyers in Virginia, including him in its annual list of Virginia's Legal Elite. And in 2014, he was selected to the exclusive Virginia Super Lawyers list in the category of business litigation, an honor bestowed on fewer than five percent of Virginia attorneys. Lee is active on social media and is the author of two law blogs, www.VirginiaLitigationBlog.com and www.VirginiaDefamationBlog.com.
