How Andreozzi + Foote Protect a Victim’s Identity

Here at our law firm, we can protect our clients identities in a variety of ways. We almost always file lawsuits in court using a pseudonym like John Doe or Jane Doe. And we have been successful over the last decade in making sure that clients who do not want to be identified publicly are not. We never use their names in any media. We don’t use their names in any public court documents. And courts increasingly honor and respect that. And so we have never had an issue with somebody wanting to remain anonymous, having a problem with that, or struggling with that. Every now and then, clients do want to be identified publicly and tell their story publicly using their names, and we will also honor that request. But it’s something we tailor to each client. If somebody is afraid to call us because they’re worried that the public will find out or even that someone in their life will find out, like a friend or members of their family, I always assure them that it is very possible to pursue a sexual abuse case without anybody knowing, even your wife, your kids. It’s very common for our clients to have told nobody in their lives about their experience. And we honor that request and, you know, again, we file their cases anonymously. And very often we’re able to involve nobody else from their life in their litigation or their legal claim. And we have ways that we communicate with clients. We make sure to communicate with clients on their terms. So, you know, they control who else in their life might see, you know, any information from us or any communication with us. So, nobody around them will ever need to know that they’ve pursued the case.
