I had a consultation with Lee Berlik to discuss a threat I received for a completely frivolous…read morelawsuit. I wanted to explain the situation, bring all documentation, and get an honest assessment as to whether or not I should be concerned about this meritless suit -- could this potentially become a serious headache and attempt to just get me to spend a lot of money for a case that would, no doubt, be dismissed? Lee listened to me; he asked the right questions; and confirmed my assumptions that the other attorney threatening a lawsuit had no legal bearing to do so. I felt so much better after our consultation, at least knowing that 1) What I assumed was validated; and 2) If I receive further threats against this attorney, I know who to call and who will be able to help me put a stop to the nonsense and abuse to our legal system. The consultation with Lee was worth every penny!

Very rarely does any judge sustain a demurrer. A demurrer says a complaint is not grounded in law…read moreand should be dismissed outright. In this case, unable to handle getting dumped by his ex, Plaintiff - Mr. Atchuthan Sriskandarajah (an attorney himself) - filed a defamation complaint against his ex & two other parties. The complaint was rather stupid and had very little substance. Mr. Lee Berlik represented the Defendants and absolutely crushed the Plaintiff. In fact, during discovery, when the Plaintiff realized that the case was backfiring on him, it was hilarious to see the Plaintiff cave in so quickly from his original request of $2.5 million down to 10,000 dollars. In the end, Plaintiff did not get even a penny & his case didn't make it past the demurrer. Plaintiff even tried going to the supreme court but the supreme court did not even want to listen to such a stupid complaint. I know enough about defamation law to tell a good attorney from a bad one. Lee is the best defamation attorney & knows the law inside out. I would highly recommend Lee!

If you want to pay an attorney to make your case WORSE, then this is your guy. This guy is horrible. He does not return emails or phone calls promptly. He does not file things promptly. He blames you, the client, for his incompetence as an attorney. His cheap price seems reasonable, but in the end, the money you'll have to invest in another attorney, to clean up the mess this man will make, just isn't worth it. I invested thousands of dollars into a train wreck of an attorney. A dry cleaner could do a better job with your case. Avoid him at all costs.

They are definitely not for the client in EEO representation services. If a complainant prevails, the firm don't get any more money than you paid them for the services, therefore they usually care less if you win or not.

I can't expound because this is a law firm and Todd Hull, I am reviewing and negative but true reviews of this nature are typically never taken well, either they come back to victimize you twice with legal action for sharing your actual experiences, or outright refute the facts which just happen to be what they are qualified to do anyway.

DON'T HIRE Kimberly Berry for an employment discrimination matter, especially not on a retainer or…read moreyou will regret it! These cases should only be performed on a contingency agreement and only by a knowledgable/trustworthy attorney. I hired Ms Berry in May 2020 for a "disability discrimination" case which she told me she believed she could settle with my former employer within a month or 2. After paying her $450 for a consultation and BEFORE hiring her for a steep $9,000 retainer, Ms Berry explained the steps she would take in my case in writing which were to be the following: 1- Draft/edit/submit a demand letter 2- Negotiate settlement 3- Draft/edit/submit a settlement agreement She also indicated that there were other methods she could pursue including filing with the EEOC. In her same email she stated, "IF your case is to settle early (after the above 3 steps were completed), there will a refund of remaining funds in the retainer." Ms Berry offered full representation and to fight hard for my case which is ultimately what led me to hire her/firm. Unfortunately, from the onset, there were constantly delays. It took Ms Berry roughly 2 months to submit the demand letter and 3 months before I received my 1st bill. Ms Berry later explained that my case was 'long and drawn out because my former employer changed counsel,' and Ms Berry had to forward the email with the demand letter attachment to new counsel. As a result and at the end of the 4th month, I received a letter from her firm indicating that my entire retainer had been used up, and she needed $2,000 more to continue working on my case. This was despite only completing 1 of the 3 above steps and opposing counsel hadn't even responded yet. When opposing counsel did respond they indicated they would not negotiate and Ms Berry was ready to give up my case and became unwilling to file with the EEOC like she had initially discussed as an option before hiring. She said she could no longer help me, surrendered my case, and encouraged me to hire another attorney who specialized in cases like mine!!! She also said that less than 1-2% of cases she takes before the EEOC are successful! What was possibly even more frustrating was when I asked her if I could file a lawsuit in EITHER a State or Federal court w/o getting the "right to sue" from the EEOC and she incorrectly explained that this was not possible w/o EEOC's "right to sue." I ended up hiring another attorney (on a contingency) who explained that you can in fact file a lawsuit in state court w/o the EEOC's right to sue, directly contradicting Ms Berry's statement. Ms Berry claims to have over 20 years of experience in employment law, but either she was unaware of the law, or intentionally misled me so she could drop my case without putting up a fight. Regardless, she spent more time arguing with me over the billing and how her firm "was very fair and could have charged me an additional $3,000 but chose not to" than fighting for my case. DON'T HIRE! -Justin P.S. Berry and Berry don't bother to respond to this post unless you agree to refund the $5,000 requested. Your firm has caused enough in damages to me.

I am writing to formally document my experience during a recent intake call with Robert E. Scully…read moreJr. regarding a potential defamation and tortious interference matter that left me in tears. I was referred to Mr. Scully by another attorney with whom I work and contacted him in good faith to discuss my situation. At the outset of the call, before I had the opportunity to explain the facts of the matter, I was asked how I knew the individuals involved had the financial ability to satisfy a judgment. This struck me as premature, as no substantive discussion of the underlying facts, damages, or legal issues had yet taken place. As the conversation progressed, I was not given a meaningful opportunity to fully outline the sequence of events before conclusions were drawn. I was repeatedly interrupted and told that I "still had my job," as though that alone resolved the legal analysis, without consideration of the reputational, professional, and operational harm involved. When I attempted to clarify certain legal components relevant to the matter, including fiduciary duty considerations under Virginia law, the tone of the call became dismissive. I was told, "you must be a better attorney than I am," which I found inappropriate and unprofessional in the context of a prospective client consultation. Under Virginia law, while the Virginia Condominium Act does not explicitly reference workplace hostility, the Association, as an employer, is obligated under applicable employment laws to address harassment and prevent a hostile work environment. Additionally, the Board, as the governing authority, owes fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith to the Association. Once placed on notice of conduct that creates legal risk or operational harm, the Board has a responsibility to act appropriately to mitigate exposure and ensure a safe and professional working environment.. I was not afforded the opportunity to fully explain how that analysis applied to my circumstances before the discussion was effectively shut down. I fully understand that attorneys decline cases every day. A direct statement that the firm was not interested or did not view the claim as viable would have been entirely acceptable. However, the tone and manner of the interaction were unnecessarily adversarial and left me feeling belittled. The conversation ultimately became so unproductive that I ended the call. As someone who works closely with legal professionals in a management capacity, I have not previously experienced an intake handled in this manner. 0/5 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Absolutely unacceptable experience…read more For approximately two weeks, I have been trying to access my Cloud Counsel account after being instructed to activate it and complete paperwork. There is absolutely nothing in my portal. No Legal Services Needed Form. No messages. No case. No upload section. Nothing. Despite this, I have called multiple times, left voicemails, and sent three separate emails requesting assistance. I have received absolutely no response. No callback. No email. No acknowledgment. Today, I received another automated email stating that if I do not complete the paperwork in my portal within two weeks, my case will be cancelled and closed. The problem is there is no paperwork in my portal to complete. The firm has never made it available to me despite my repeated attempts to get help. I am now being threatened with having my case closed because I have not completed forms that do not exist in my account and that I cannot access. The complete lack of communication and failure to fix such a basic issue is unacceptable and incredibly frustrating.

The circuit court of Virginia determined that my lawyer, Kevin Jaros' billing was unreasonable…read more My lemon law case was settled out of court in my favor, but the defendants refused to pay my legal bills, claiming they included unnecessary and excessive activities, block billing and administrative tasks charged at senior lawyer rates. The case for the legal fees went to a Circuit Court of Virginia hearing My lawyer decided not to attend and instead sent a junior partner, Bret Giaimo, whose hands were visibly shaking and voice kept breaking up with nerves. Judge Stoney was clearly not satisfied with the Giaimo's explanation for Jaros' billing practices and awarded me only 70% of my costs as reasonable, leaving me over $11,000 out of pocket. When I asked Jaros to amend his billing to better reflect what the judge determined as reasonable, he refused. Even when I asked him to split the difference he flatly refused. To add insult to inquiry, after the court hearing Jaros sent me a long email telling me that I should look at this as a victory because the defendants were not happy with the amount they had to pay out . He then billed me a further $113 for the 'pleasure' of his email. Overall, I was billed more than $40,000 and was awarded $29,000 by the court as reasonable fees. I reached out to their CEO, Paul Abraham, but he didn't bother to reply. USE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR PERIL!!! *Sort reviews by lowest and you'll get the true picture
