How These Cases Work
What Happens When Strike 3 Targets You
IP Identification
Strike 3 uses VXN Scan technology to monitor BitTorrent networks and log IP addresses they allege are sharing their content.
ISP Subpoena
Strike 3 files a federal lawsuit and obtains a court order requiring your internet provider to reveal your identity.
Settlement Demand
Once they have your name, Strike 3 typically sends a settlement demand — often for several thousand dollars.
Your Options
You can negotiate a settlement, file a motion to quash, or defend the case. Leonard will advise you on the best path forward.

“Excellent Lawyer you can trust”
Working with Leonard was the best decision I could have made for my case. I had contacted multiple other attorneys who immediately resorted to fear-mongering and demanded massive $2k retainers upfront and recommended to settle out of court for $10k for something I had nothing to do with. Leonard was the exact opposite. He is an honest, trustworthy attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. He took the time to walk me through the legal process step-by-step, eased my nerves, and laid out all possible options so I could make an informed decision. No scare tactics, just excellent legal counsel. 10/10 experience. I will definitely use him again if the need ever arises.
