An Advocate Who Truly Cares

Megan is an exceptional attorney: sharp, tenacious, and deeply compassionate. She fought for me every step of the way while making sure I was informed, comfortable, and part of every major decision. Her professionalism and genuine care made a difficult experience feel manageable. I feel incredibly lu...cky to have found her and truly wouldn’t have wanted anyone else representing me. Megan and her team are everything you hope for in an advocate, smart, kind, and relentless when needed.

Amazing Attorney and Firm

Megan Goddard and her team are amazing. So happy with my outcome and their leadership and guidance. Megan and Siobhan worked closely on my case and were always available for an update. I highly recommend Goddard Law for any employment case. Thank you so so much!

Incredible outcome with Megan Goddard

I am very satisfied with the Goddard law firm. When I first came to Megan, she was adamant I had a strong case. Throughout the entire legal process, she remained a strong advocate. She tells it how it is and does not mess around. Megan goes above and beyond and does not quit until her clients get wha...t they are owed. Megan represented me against a mega institution and I am more than satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would strongly recommend Megan Goddard and her law firm.

Beyond grateful!!

Megan and her team were amazing to work with. They addressed all of my questions/ concerns and maked sure I felt heard. My case took around 3 years, and when I was ready to give up the gave me the push and motivation I needed. I appreciate them for validating my feelings and pushing me to stand up fo...r myself. Megan is extremely passionate and I'm grateful to have her in my corner. I can't thank her and her team enough.

Former CXO and CCRO

Ms Goddard held my former employer accountable for a fair and appropriate separation settlement. I would have never been able to apply the necessary legal pressure in order to reach this result. Ms Goddard was the consummate advocate and professional. She helped me articulate my case in an accurate, ...compelling but dispassionate way and masterfully managed the conversations and all legal interactions with the EEOC and my former employer. I would - and will - recommend her to anyone who needs a legal advocate in order in order to reach a fair and equitable agreement with a prospective, current, or previous employer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
