Singer D4vd, whose real name is Anthony David Burke, was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday (April 16) in relation to the death of 16-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. As of now, no charges have been filed against the 21-year-old singer.
However, he had put up a strong team of attorneys to defend him soon after he was made a part of a grand jury investigation in Los Angeles. It includes high-profile celebrity Hollywood attorney, Blair Berk, who has represented stars like Harvey Weinstein, Kanye West, Lindsey Lohan, and Britney Spears, among others. While Berk is leading the defense, she will be joined by Marilyn Bednarski, who has extensive jury experience.
However, there are concerns that an experience gap in Blair Berk’s legal career could go against D4vd despite the fact that Berk has previously represented many celebrities.
D4v is expected to be produced at the office of District Attorney Nathan Hochman on Monday. He is currently in prison.
Report Flags Key Experience Gap In Blair Berk’s Career
Despite representing several celebrities in high-profile cases, Blair Berk has very little experience in defending murder suspects, the New York Post reports. The outlet notes that the only notable murder case that Berk defended was the case of Monica Sementilli.
Sementilli was charged with the 2017 murder of her hairdresser husband Fabio Sementilli after conspiring with her porn star boyfriend. Monica Sementilli was convicted in April 2025 of first‑degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
