The best of the best

I would recommend Megan over and over and over again. She and her team not only worked tirelessly on my case for OVER 3 YEARS and got me the most favorable outcome, but they truly cared about me. Dealing with something like this is so emotionally draining, and Megan and her team felt my cause and my ...pain and channeled it into the fuel they needed to fight for me. It was almost as if the discrimination and trauma was directly experienced by them. If you are on the fence about using them, don’t give it another thought. I can guarantee you they will fight for you like they did for me. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.

You NEED her!

Megan Goddard is the women for women. Her passion and her fight for my case has giving me the confidence to keep pushing Forward and take my experience to transform it to help others in my future. Even on my toughest days, she always encouraged me to keep my head up. From day one, she’s always been e...xtremely transparent and honest with me.She always encourages to never give up and to keep moving forward. I would recommend her to anyone that needed an amazing employment lawyer and civil rights advocate who will never stop. Her fight for women and people of color have no bounds, and it’s extremely rewarding To know that there is a woman that has our back out there. If you want a strong, motivational, passionate, and trustworthy lawyer who is 1,000,000,000% worth it, two words. Megan Goddard.You won’t regret it!

The best lawyer!

Megan is hands down the best lawyer. In the beginning I was nervous to speak about the discrimination that had occurred to me. When I spoke to Megan I felt heard and most importantly cared for. Her team is just extremely accommodating, professional , and encouraging. Aside from my case they cared alw...ays checking up making sure I was okay . Any questions I had were always addressed immediately whether it was Megan, Heydy or Monica. There are no words enough to describe how grateful I am to have met these strong and inspirational woman. Megan is no nonsense she believes in you and pushes you to believe in yourself even when you don’t. Thank you ladies all so much my case came out better than I ever expected. This case not only changed my life but forced a company to change their discriminatory practices. Megan will fight for you to the end there’s no doubt about that. You all should be so proud of yourselves really changing people’s lives and going after these companies to change their discriminatory ways!

Absolutely brilliant

I had never contacted a labor attorney before. But when I experienced harassment, discrimination & retaliation at a former employer I felt it was time to take legal action. Megan had been recommended to me by another attorney and I'm so glad she was. Megan was an incredible support throughout the pr...ocess. She was my champion in making sure what happened to me was presented accurately, truthfully and was a full depiction of what occurred. I came away from the experience with a settlement that I was happy with, and I knew she fought for me every step of the way. I highly, highly recommend Megan.

Wonder Woman!!

I came to Megan and her team after being referred to her by another friend. I experienced some unfair treatment on my job and felt constantly slighted compared to the treatment of other employees I worked with. I also didn't think there was anything I could do about it. After my initial meeting wi...th Megan, I realized that maybe I could receive some compensation for the unfair treatment...as long as I had a champion in my corner fighting for and with me! Also, due to my crazy schedule and personal challenges, it took me quite some time to give any supporting documents to Megan. However, being the professional that she is...she made it work. Although the outcome of my case wasn't exactly what I hoped for, I did receive what I believe to be fair and acceptable. I know I would not have received anything if Megan and her team didn't go to bat for me. I truly appreciate her and her team and I wish nothing but the best!!

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.
