She has represented: five clients who described sexual abuse committed by Harvey Weinstein; the former Democratic Member of Congress Katie Hill after her naked photos were published in the media; and the author Emma Cline after an ex-partner sued for plagiarism.

Goldberg is opposed to Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act (CDA), which exempts websites from being liable for third-party content; her case against Grindr for negligence was rejected for this reason.

Her legal career and life experiences are the subject of her book Nobody's Victim (2019), which also describes other famous cases of sexual violence by "psychos, stalkers, pervs, and trolls".

[4] As a young girl, Goldberg started a business initiative—Masked Mams—where she would barter riot grrrl-esque bras made from doll heads at the Evergreen State College.

Working at her father's mill one summer, Goldberg faced routine workplace sexual harassment, which led her to develop an eating disorder that hospitalized her; she suspended from Vassar for a semester.

[5][6]: 99 Goldberg's work against revenge porn is best known but her career as an attorney is broader, including cases of "sextortion" (sexual extortion),[1] online harassment,[7] cyberstalking, intimate partner violence,[8] and rape.

[14] She says that they should first report the abuse to the websites hosting the content, then contact police or Title IX co-ordinators (in educational settings), and find legal assistance if this fails.

An attorney may assist in sending cease and desist letters, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices, and search engine de-indexing requests.

As Director of Legal Services with the Vera Institute of Justice,[1][16] Goldberg negotiated clients' wishes for end-of-life care and represented elderly people who were being taken advantage of.

Soon after, in 2013, she met her "psycho ex"; after they broke up, his harassment of her included abusive messages, attempted breaking and entering, frivolous litigation, sending sexual images to judges and work colleagues, and contacting her family and ex-boyfriends with vivid descriptions of her being raped by the doctor.

In particular, Goldberg represented Lucia Evans, whose evidence contributed to the New York County District Attorney deciding to pursue charges against Weinstein.

Goldberg saw this action as "inappropriate and ludicrous" as it gave her client a choice between settling the lawsuit or allowing the claims and sexual images to be publicly released.

Goldberg and Herrick sued Grindr for negligence, but a judge found that they were not liable due to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA).

Coverage of the ex-husband's claims against Goldberg's client made Dateline NBC, The Washington Post, People and The Daily Beast and led to her wrongful imprisonment for 88 days.

[34] It describes a number of her cases, including that of Herrick vs. Grindr and the Weinstein accusers, as well as a man who impersonated his girlfriend's ex-partners to harass her, women coerced into pornography under false pretenses, and children who were raped or sexually extorted by adults over the internet.

Goldberg also describes her personal experiences with sexual violence, including the motivation for her to start a law firm, and other famous cases.

[38] A federal law that Goldberg supported called the Ending Nonconsensual Online User Graphic Harassment (ENOUGH) Act failed to pass.

[44] Goldberg has accused the Electronic Frontier Foundation of being lobbyists for Big Tech and of protecting the online activities of harassers, stalkers and abusers.

[2] She has criticised the New York City Department of Education for failing to protect and provide care for female African-American students who were sexually assaulted at school.
