The Growing Threat of Online Abuse in New York

The digital landscape lets abusers hide behind anonymity, targeting victims with:

  • Cyberstalking: Threats, doxing, or monitoring via texts, emails, or social media.

  • Online Harassment: Cyberbullying, trolling, or revenge porn disrupting your life.

  • Defamation: False online statements trashing your reputation.

New York law—NY Penal Law 120.45 (Stalking) and 240.25/26 (Harassment)—makes these acts illegal. But identifying perpetrators takes more than hope. At Veridian Legal, we use advanced investigations and legal tools to deliver justice.

Why Online Abuse Hits Hard

Online abuse isn’t just annoying—it’s devastating:

  • Anxiety, fear, and depression

  • Sleep issues and isolation

  • Reputational ruin from defamation

Over 60% of New Yorkers faced online harassment in 2023 (hypothetical stat—replace with real data if available). We step in to stop the cycle—whether it’s a stalker, troll, or liar behind the screen.

We don’t just react—we resolve. Here’s how:

  • Reveal Anonymous Harassers: Trace hidden accounts with pre-action discovery and subpoenas.

Client Reviews

    “I rarely leave reviews, but I am incredibly grateful for Daniel Szalkiewicz and this firm. I researched for days on end to find a reputable and very knowledgeable attorney in my hometown state that could help me get some concrete answers on my constitutional rights as an author for an upcoming published book. With no success, I was advised to contact a NY attorney across the country. This firm was the 2nd firm I called, as the first didn't pick up. Daniel answered the phone after 2 rings. I thought I was going to get the run around like all other attorneys I had previously contacted, but not with Daniel. Not only did he respect my concerns, he went above and beyond to take an immense amount of time allowing me to explain everything.

    Daniel and his team worked on my case for years...due to covid. He's fair, responsive and got the judgment I deserved. So thankful to him and his team for all their efforts and time.

    I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Daniel! He was honest, straightforward, worked efficiently and resolved my case. I normally dread interacting with attorneys. What a breath of fresh air!

    Daniel has gone above and beyond with me and I am grateful to have him. I talked to many lawyers and I don't feel like anyone that I talked to would have compared.
