I turned to CASP when I and my then 13-year-old daughter were SLAPPed for speaking to government officials about alarming behavior we believed to be criminal. As a parent, I knew I was acting in the best interest of my child, and we never imagined that our actions would result in the litigation that ensued. It was a great relief to have CASP so ably defend us and our First Amendment rights. We feel very fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable and dedicated team of attorneys.”

CASP successfully defended me against a SLAPP and not only vindicated me personally, but helped diffuse the SLAPP filer’s attack on me professionally. I am so grateful that Mark Goldowitz worked to get anti-SLAPP legislation passed in California in time for my case. The anti-SLAPP law preserves justice and protects people who take stands against abuses of power and then become threatened with a lawsuit by Big Money. Being SLAPPed was an extremely stressful experience, but with CASP defending me I knew that I was getting the best representation. Thank you!”
