Carrie Goldberg started her practice to “be the lawyer I’d needed” after she was harassed online by a vengeful ex.
Norma’s complaint would almost certainly not have proceeded to court had she not been represented by Carrie Goldberg, who was sitting in the courtroom next to her that day. Goldberg is a thirty-nine-year-old Brooklyn attorney with a practice specializing in sexual privacy, a new field of law that has emerged, in large part, to confront some of the grosser indulgences of the Internet.
In 2014, Mary Anne Franks, a University of Miami law professor who has advocated for revenge-porn laws, was attracting online critics who repeatedly attacked her with obscenities. Goldberg, in a show of support, sent her a lipstick with the name Lady Danger. Franks told me, “She included a card where she’d written, ‘This is what I wear when I want to feel like a warrior.’ It made me laugh, and I loved getting it. I love her whole persona. She’s so completely and utterly herself.
