Thank you!

Megan and her team were amazing. Started my wrongful termination case during the COVID-19 pandemic, and made sure to be there every step of the way. She told me she wouldn't have taken my case unless she would win... And we did! Very happy with the time and effort Megan and her team put in over the l...ast few years.

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.

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.

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.

There's light at the end of the tunnel... if you work with Goddard Law PLLC

My case took over 3 years, but never once did I doubt that I was in good hands. Megan and her team were supportive from the very beginning... they took me on as a client after another male-led firm said I have a valid claim but it wasn't worth their time and pursuit. She understood why this was so im...portant to me, as a reflection of my values and commitment to justice, and agreed to help me on this journey of accountability. Although I worked with several attorneys on her team (who were all amazing!), eventually Megan personally managed my case to the end. She was very transparent about everything happening, allowed me to "be in the weeds" when I wanted to be, always shared the pros and cons of the decisions I considered, and was so responsive whenever I needed to connect. In addition to being a great advocate, she was such a wonderful listener (and yes, we had many late night calls filled with tears and fears). Megan and her team are professional, well-versed and experienced in employment discrimination law, and they are fierce! Despite being a small firm, you never feel abandoned and instead, it feels like you have an entire army behind you, encouraging you, and fighting for you even when you aren't in the room. Overall, I highly recommend the services of Goddard Law PLLC.

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.
