Attorney Bio

In his over 20 years of litigation experience, and his diverse representation of individuals, businesses and insurance carriers, Morgan Godfrey has provided countless benefits to a wide variety of Johnson & Condon's clients. He has successfully pursued or defended many lawsuits involving employment claims, charges of discrimination, construction claims, commercial contract disputes, products liability actions, franchise disputes, fire litigation and insurance coverage proceedings. He concentrates his work in the Firm’s Employment, Government Liability, Construction and Insurance Coverage practice areas.

His substantial trial and appellate practice includes the defense of municipalities in civil rights claims, sex, age and race discrimination claims, the defense of both public and private clients in contract litigation, construction litigation, professional liability, franchise disputes and Federal Employment Liability Act (FELA) claims.

As with his litigation experience, Mr. Godfrey’s publications and continuing legal education faculty experience reflect his depth and diversity of knowledge. He has authored or lectured on such topics as retaliation claims in the employment setting, the interactive process under the American with Disabilities Act, how to avoid liability for harassment claims, employee investigation fundamentals, employee separation agreements, the potential impact of mold on indoor air quality, coverage issues raised by construction contracts, the legal and ethical limitations of surveillance, and on workers compensation issues.
