Pro Bono Work

(Last Updated: Wedesday, August 3, 2022)

Stated plainly and simply, Goodman & Baxter is committed to pro bono work because it is the right thing to do. Helping others undeniably is both humbling and awe‑inspiring. We believe in second‑chances.

Goodman & Baxter believes wholeheartedly in giving back as much of our time, talent, and energy as possible to the communities in which our clients live and work. Toward that end, we welcome the chance to assist individuals with online reputation management work who are underprivileged or otherwise cannot afford our services.

The entire team at Goodman & Baxter considers public service, no matter how large or small, as a calling. To us, there is nothing more professionally satisfying than receiving all of the profound expressions of gratitude from the scores of pro bono clients we help every year. These overwhelming expressions of thanks truly reinvigorate our efforts and our desire and they help us understand the true nature of the impact we possess the potential to continue to make.

Please keep in mind that the firm's pro bono committee is happy and willing to read all e-mails from anyone who is in need of its services. However, we have a very finite set of resources and typically only can help a small percentage of all people who write to us.

Our pro bono committee meets every other Friday and reviews at that time every submission for assistance that we have received in the prior two‑week period. You therefore can expect an e‑mail responsive to your request for pro bono assistance very shortly after we receive it. If we can help you, we will let you. If we are unable to help you, we likewise will let you know. The firm's policy is to reply to everyone who asks for help. We never will leave you wondering.

When contacting the firm for pro bono assistance, we ask that you specify clearly and concisely the work you need completed, as well as short personal statement explaining the circumstances surrounding your request.

Our firm proudly has been dedicated to pro bono work for the last two decades, amassing a total of more than 2,500 pro bono hours for indigent people whose opportunities to advance, both personally and professionally, were hindered by negative online content that we successfully removed on their behalf.

On many occasions, the beneficiaries of our work reside in poor neighborhoods where gang violence and drug use are common, everyday occurrences. Whereas our pro bono work entails taking on unpopular cases that often are shunned by other firms, Goodman & Baxter believes it has a unique moral responsibility to help whenever and wherever it can.

When choosing who and how to help, Goodman & Baxter does not discriminate on any basis. The firm has demonstrated a long‑standing commitment throughout its history to various cultural and educational institutions, green and environmental initiatives, public-interest organizations and charitable causes, civil rights organization, and agencies that advocate for the prevention of child abuse and domestic violence.

Even if the firm is unable to assist you at zero‑cost, there is a chance we can significantly reduce our fee for a needy client.
