Now is not the time to stop fighting

Anti-abortion extremists have engaged in a range of horrific  activities, including but not limited to threats, violence, intimidation, stalking, online harassment and doxxing, and – historically – murder. 

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, C.A. Goldberg, PLLC has doubled down in our commitment to support patients, advocates, and practitioners nationwide whose safety and security are threatened. Not only do we represent providers in legal cases, but we help providers assess the legal risk of simply providing healthcare.

Our services include:

  • We represent individuals and organizations facing online attacks, including doxxing and targeted harassment on social media, review sites, and anti-abortion platforms. If your personal information has been exposed, or you are the target of a harassment campaign, we can take immediate legal action to stop the attacks. Our team works to protect your privacy, hold offenders accountable, and prevent further harm.

  • Healthcare providers should be able to go to work and their patients should be able to access medical services without fear of harm. We represent clinics in enforcing buffer zone protections and responding to incidents of trespassing, vandalism, or physical violence on clinic property.

  • We help identify potential risks and offer tailored strategies to address immediate and long-term safety concerns. This includes planning for potential crises, identifying warning signs, safeguarding your online privacy, and minimizing risks associated with cyber-attacks, hacking, and unauthorized surveillance.

  • We are experts in developing strategies to manage crises and respond effectively to emerging threats. While it can be difficult to predict every challenge, preparing for potential risks and having a clear plan in place is crucial. Our team provides guidance on how to navigate crises, offering support to ensure you’re equipped to act swiftly and decisively when unexpected circumstances arise.

  • Our team has extensive experience handling defamation and invasion of privacy claims. Whether the harm occurs online or offline, we assist with removing damaging content, seeking appropriate legal remedies, and holding responsible parties accountable, all while ensuring your privacy and rights are protected throughout the process.

Stop Weaponizing Open Records Demands

SWORD is an innovative resource to aid abortion providers, clinics, patients, researchers, and supporters who are being attacked by anti-abortion extremists through open records laws.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, C.A. Goldberg, PLLC has witnessed a disturbing escalation in attacks by anti-abortion extremists. One concerning trend is the misuse of state and federal open records laws to acquire detailed and extremely personal information about reproductive healthcare providers, clinics, researchers, and supporters. We have seen this information repeatedly deployed in targeted, anti-abortion harassment campaigns against our clients, resulting in doxing (the publication of  personal information online), intimidation, online abuse, and threats of violence. In response, we have created the SWORD (Stop Weaponizing Open Records Demands) resource to give providers, researchers, clinics, and supporters the tools they need to protect themselves.
