Outstanding Lawyer, Outstanding Support

Ms Goddard provided me compassionate and honest support during my time working with her to resolve an issue with my former employer. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely savvy when it comes to navigating thorny issues about treatment in the workplace and describing realistic outcomes. She ...was very respectful of my thoughts, and fought to bring my case to a successful resolution. She was a fantastic ally throughout the process, and I would refer her without hesitation to anyone who needed her guidance and/or advice.

Strong and supportive through a tough time.

When you learn what discrimination feels like you want to run and hide from it, but for all other women we need to stand up. Megan was able to push me when needed but also cared about my feels during this tough time. She fought for me even when I was afraid to fight. She was part of my backbone tha...t got me through my experience. Her commitment to womens rights is part of her heart and soul. I would advise anyone that has been through discrimination to speak with Megan and know she will always be there for you With strength and support.

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.
