Testimonials

I was going through a divorce with an abusive ex-husband who posted naked photos of me on the internet when I contacted C.A. Goldberg, PLLC. My divorce attorney knew of your firm and told me I should contact you. I live in small town in Texas and it felt intimidating to contact a law firm in New York. But I felt so good after talking to the team at C.A. Goldberg, PLLC. From my very first exposure to the firm, I immediately felt that they cared. Every correspondence I had with anyone from the team put any fears to rest through the entire process. I felt the concern and understanding from everyone at the firm, and I never felt like “just a client” – but someone with pain and fear that that was so completely acknowledged by every person I spoke to. After working with the team, I would 100% recommend C.A. Goldberg, PLLC to anyone and everyone I know. [My attorney] was AMAZING to work with every step of the way. I’m very careful to respect the time of any attorney I’m working with, but [my attorney] made me feel like I could call her at any time. I was able to see her as a real person and not just my attorney. She had an experience similar to mine and I felt like she had a “pay it forward” approach to helping me. I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly wanted what was best for me. I completely understand her mindset now, because now that I’m on the other side of it, I would also do almost anything for someone who has experienced the nightmare I’ve gone through. C.A. Goldberg, PLLC helped me get an incredible divorce settlement, the best one of my divorce attorney’s entire career. This result led to the criminal prosecution of my abuser, who now faces six years of probation. I am a million times better now than I was when I first called the firm. It was one of the best decisions of my life, and that is no exaggeration.

I was stalked, threatened, and sextorted by a professional mentor for 6 months. When I finally mustered up the courage to cut him off he contacted all of my loved ones, exposed extremely personal information involving a prior sexual assault, posted explicit photos of me, and more. I reached out to family and friends and was directed to C.A. Goldberg, where I was quickly taken on as a client.

Within a few weeks, I had a 2-year Order of Protection. They then we suggested we threaten to sue my abuser. Thanks to C.A. Goldberg, he settled for half a million dollars within about a month.

When my ex’s new girlfriend started making harassing Twitter and Instagram accounts and posting explicit photos of me online, I had no idea what to do. I had only shared these photos with my ex and never expected them to get in the hands of anyone else. I was in an extremely dark place, contemplating self-harm and feeling completely powerless. I started researching online, desperate for answers on how to deal with this situation. I was terrified that the dissemination of the photos would continue, which would mean losing my job and being unable to provide for my kids as a single mom. It was my biggest fear. Once I found the website for C.A. Goldberg, PLLC, it became clear that the firm not only takes cases relating to my situation, but they get laws on the books to provide avenues for justice for survivors. I knew they were the people who’d help.

Within two weeks of retaining C.A. Goldberg and my first meeting with my attorney Naomi, we were able to get the harassment and threats to stop. Naomi quickly sent a solid cease and desist letter that succeeded in cautioning the offender against continuing their harassment. They immediately responded and stopped their behavior, and I no longer had to worry about my private images being shared online!

Everyone I spoke with was super responsive and clear whenever I had any questions. Working with the team at C.A. Goldberg, I always felt like my hand was being held, even if I was never in the same room as anyone. If you’re on the fence about hiring them, trust me: do it. It’s worth it.

C.A. Goldberg, PLLC represented me against someone who took and possessed a nonconsensual intimate video of me without my knowledge. My attorney Hannah Meropol spent a lot of time with me to determine my goals and advised me about all the legal actions that I could take. Hannah recommended that we send my offender a letter demanding that he delete the video and sign an affidavit stating he had done so. Hannah told me that it is very rare for offenders to sign an affidavit such as this but we decided it was worth a try. The letter was so effective in conveying to the offender that he committed a crime that could have serious repercussions against him that he signed the affidavit immediately! Now, I have peace of mind that I never thought could be possible. The outcome of this situation was truly ideal. I am eternally grateful to Hannah and the team at C.A. Goldberg!

I was referred to C.A. Goldberg, PLLC when I was learning about my options after the passage of the Child Victims Act in New York. As a male survivor of childhood sexual abuse by an adult family member, it took years before I was ready to acknowledge what had happened to me. The abuse had affected me for my entire life, particularly with regards to my mental health and relationships. When the #MeToo movement started, it triggered something in me, and I knew I could no longer be silent. I started therapy, which was an important step in my healing process, and then the CVA passed, and then I found this firm – it felt like the stars were aligning, telling me it was time to take this step for myself now. With C.A. Goldberg’s support, guidance, and encouragement I was ready to confront my abuser and hold him accountable. Everyone I spoke with at C.A. Goldberg, from the intake team to the attorneys, were wonderful. Through [my attorney’s] advocacy and skillful negotiations, the firm secured a six figure settlement on my behalf, before a lawsuit was ever filed. Most importantly, my attorneys gave me the long-awaited chance to confront my abuser and find closure. Those achievements were priceless. I am so thankful I chose to work with C.A. Goldberg. Beyond the financial settlement, the experience empowered me and helped me to finally open up to my immediate family members about what had happened to me. The impact goes far beyond the legal work with this team. If C.A. Goldberg takes your case, you won’t regret hiring them.

Before I found C.A. Goldberg, PLLC I felt so scared, alone, and helpless. I had become a victim of a serial predator who had tricked me into sending him hundreds of intimate images and then was posting them online and sharing with strangers.

Goldberg, I was scheduled for a case evaluation to discuss what had happened to me and what was most important to me going forward, and I retained the firm. To my surprise and relief, they were able to quickly negotiate a 6-figure out-of-court settlement from the offender!
