Lisa Darling Goddard-Gikas

With over two decades of legal experience spanning Family Law, Criminal Law, Juvenile Justice, and Immigration Law, my journey from Vermont to the global stage has been driven by a deep-seated desire to assist others. Fluent in Arabic, French, Greek, German, and Farsi, my passion for multiculturalism and language proficiency has enriched my ability to connect with diverse communities.

My commitment lies in supporting families and children through the complexities of the legal system. Recognizing that seeking legal counsel often arises from challenging circumstances, I strive to make a positive impact during these critical moments. As your advocate, I pledge to pursue the most favorable outcomes with unwavering dedication.

Navigating immigration procedures can be daunting. Whether it involves visas, residency, waivers, naturalization, removal proceedings, or asylum applications, I offer guidance to streamline the process. Attention to detail is paramount in initial filings to maximize success, as subsequent submissions typically yield less favorable results.

Beyond the courtroom, I extend my passion for making a difference to animal rescue. At home, I dedicate myself to rescuing and rehoming dogs, ensuring they find safe and loving environments.

My journey in law and advocacy is driven by a profound commitment to service and empathy, ensuring that every client and creature I encounter receives the care and attention they deserve.
