Welcome to Virginia's Business Litigation Law Firm

BerlikLaw is a results-driven, AV-rated law firm specializing in business litigation, defamation law, and the resolution of business disputes. Located in Reston and with additional client meeting locations throughout Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia, the firm’s primary expertise lies in the resolution of business disputes involving trade secrets, non-compete contracts, breaches of fiduciary duty, and tortious interference with business relationships. Our Reston business litigation lawyers offer counseling and advice on ways to avoid litigation, including innovative legal solutions and strategies, but when your business is left with no reasonable alternative but to pursue or defend litigation or arbitration, BerlikLaw is the firm you want in your corner.

The firm's sole owner and member, Lee E. Berlik, has teamed up with various "of counsel" attorneys to assist individuals and businesses based in Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Alexandria, and Northern Virginia, and are frequently involved in cases pending in other Virginia jurisdictions such as Richmond and Norfolk. Berlik and his affiliated lawyers serve clients from meeting space in Reston, Tysons Corner, Alexandria, and Leesburg, at locations convenient to the area's state and federal courthouses.

For nearly 20 years, commercial litigator and defamation lawyer Lee Berlik has been providing effective representation for individuals and business owners throughout Virginia. Having spent most of his career with large law firms employing 500-750 attorneys, Lee decided he could offer his clients increased responsiveness, greater value, and better service by opening his own law firm devoted to meeting client objectives and achieving results at a minimum of expense. That firm is BerlikLaw.

Lee has earned a reputation as not only a highly effective Reston business litigation lawyer, but one who understands and appreciates the need for efficiency and litigation cost control. The firm keeps its overhead low by, among other things, using highly skilled, experienced contract attorneys, allowing the firm to strategically manage its fluctuating caseload without the need to pay inflated salaries. Such practices allow the firm's attorneys to charge rates that are but a tiny fraction of what these same attorneys charged at their former "Big Law" firms.

Our lawyers appear regularly in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (a highly efficient federal court known as the "rocket docket"), as well as in circuit courts throughout Virginia, both as lead counsel and local counsel. Our diverse practice includes breach-of-contract disputes, Internet defamation, cyberbullying, computer crimes, partnership disputes, fraud claims, employment issues, and many other areas that commonly affect small and large business alike.

Here at BerlikLaw, our Reston business litigation attorneys are committed to protecting the interests of our clients with diligence, promptness, and zeal. Give us a call, and get the representation your business needs without breaking the bank.

  • Last fall, Mr. Berlik assisted our family with, what was for us, a major lawsuit involving business, commercial property, and management agreements. Throughout the anxiety-provoking, frustrating ordeal, Mr. Berlik was the consummate professional.
  • Lee Berlik handled a breach of contract case for me against a defendant who fought every attempt to resolve the case in a reasonable manner. Lee was a superb client advocate and at all times I felt he was handling the case in my absolute best interest while still managing my expectations.
  • I am so glad I hired Lee Berlik to fight an insurance company on my behalf. Lee provided valuable insight, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and clearly knew how to present the facts of my case in the best possible light.
