Top knotch representation!

Megan Hazel provided us with the utmost professionalism,  Compassion and care through out every stage in the legal justice system. She was thorough and persistent in getting us the fair and justified results in our multiple cases... An Unheard of resolve in a Philadelphia gun case where she was ab...le to get two felony charges dropped which would of led to jail time of up to 5 yrs in prison... Was left with one gun possession charge and a possession of drug charge with a three yr supervised probation resolve.. She was brilliant! We highly recommend her expertise services to anyone looking for a qualified and caring representation in our court systems. Sincerely, Maureen

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.
