Excellent Legal Services for Agriculture & Small Businesses

My partner and I hired Harris-Pero Legal Counsel to help us with the process of securing a lease on farmland from a land trust. We were looking to find an attorney who would understand our perspective as farmers and small business owners, and Megan exceeded our expectations. Megan worked with us ...to review our lease and conservation easement and helped us to negotiate the terms with the land trust. Her review was thoughtful and thorough, and it was clear that she was looking out for our interests as farmers and small business owners. Megan’s communication with us was clear, prompt, and professional. I highly recommend Harris-Pero Legal Counsel.

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.
