Posted by anonymous | January 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

I trust Megan to fight for me

I found Megan only after several lawyers turned down my case because they either didn't see a violation of law or they were unwilling to go against my wealthy & politically powerful employer. Megan had the vision to see where I had been wronged by my employer under the law, the fortitude to go toe-to...-toe against formidable attorneys and come out ahead, and the relationships to bring in experts as co-counsel. In the end, Megan demonstrated indisputably that my employer wrongfully terminated me (in an at-will state) and won my family a settlement worth 10 times the initial offer. I would gladly recommend Megan to anyone in need.

Brilliant attorney

My attorney, Megan was very strong and determined to put together the facts of my case and present them in a strong and determined way to present exactly what was the issues I had dealt with. Smart in her strategies and guidance.

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!!

Fierce, Ethical, Respectful

Megan Goddard was a fierce, ethical and effective, advocate as I addressed an employment matter. She educated me on the process never giving me a hard sell or pipe dream, and always providing me straight talk and strong guidance when needed. I great respect and admiration for her and her staff.

The Right Choice

As I was going to let what was happening to me slide by a friend of mine said call Megan Goddard. After calling Megan and talking to her she just made me feel more at ease and that I was not the one in the wrong here. Megan asked if you were to just let this go would this bother you in 10 years becau...se you did nothing. That question right there is why I hired Megan. Since that day she never left my side. Megan always was there. There were times I wanted to throw the towel in but after conversations with Megan I was calm and back on track. I also want to thank everybody else who worked in the office that helped with my case. I can’t explain in words what this law firm did for me but from the bottom of my heart I thank you!!!! I Highly recommend Goddard Law!!!

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.
