About Lee E.
Lee E. Berlik has built a career around courtroom work and federal filings. He trained as a litigator and has spent decades practicing in Virginia and federal courts. Colleagues describe him as steady and thorough. He keeps a practical approach to casework and court procedure.
Berlik earned his J.D. from American University Washington College of Law in 1992. Before that he completed a B.S. in Technical Communications at Rochester Institute of Technology in 1989. Those two degrees set a pattern: technical clarity and legal precision. He followed them into litigation assignments that required both skills.
He began his litigation career in private practice in the late 1990s. Records list him as a litigation associate at Troutman Sanders in 1998. He later joined Mintz Levin as a litigation associate in 2000. Those positions placed him on litigation teams handling a range of federal and state matters. Over time he moved into roles that combined courtroom appearances and case management.
Today he is the managing member of BerlikLaw, LLC. The firm name appears on filings in Virginia and in several federal venues where he holds admission. He is admitted to practice in Virginia and the District of Columbia. He is also admitted in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. That range gives him access to trial courts, appellate panels, and bankruptcy forums.
His professional affiliations include memberships in the Virginia State Bar, the Loudoun County Bar Association, the Fairfax County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the National Employment Lawyers Association, and the Virginia Bar Association. Those memberships reflect ongoing ties to local and national legal communities. They also indicate areas of continuing education and peer engagement.
Practically, his work involves litigation strategy, federal court practice, and filings across district and appellate levels. He appears on behalf of clients in state and federal proceedings and handles matters that require experience in both trial and appellate procedure. He also files in bankruptcy court when client matters intersect with insolvency issues.
He maintains an office under the BerlikLaw, LLC name and continues to accept matters in Virginia and in the federal courts where he is admitted. He currently concentrates his practice on litigation and related federal-court proceedings.
