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.

Strong Advocate

Megan was the first attorney I spoke with in New York about my case who seemed truly passionate and caring about what had happened to me. From day one, her and her staff were on top of trying to work for me. Megan and other attorneys at Goddard Law made me feel like they truly believed me about the h...orrible experience I went through at my former employer. My case didn’t turn out the way I had hoped, but knowing I had these advocates who were disgusted by the treatment from my former superiors has helped empower me to demand better from future employers. I now have peace of mind and can heal from the hell my former employer put me through thanks to the work from Megan Goddard and the staff at Goddard Law.

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.

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.
