So glad we hired Megan

My son was facing different charges in different counties. Megan kept us up to date on everything and got my son tremendous results so far. She is diligent, honest and a straight-shooter. We consulted 2 other attorneys and my son and I said we will meet this last lawyer and probably give up. The last... lawyer was Megan. We had to hire her and we are so happy we did.

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

excellent criminal attorney

I was very pleased with Megan Hazel as a criminal attorney. I faced charges of aggravated assault which is a felony simple assault endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person I was looking at 5 to 10 years in prison for aggravated assault alone when the district attor...ney first offered us our deal they offered us 6 months to 23 months incarceration. Megan was diligent and stayed on top of the district attorneys and was able to get me two years probation for simple assault and two years probation for reckless endangerment another person. all other charges were dropped I would recommend her to anybody and she truly cares about your case and you as an individual she was always able to be reached and stayed in touch very well.

Professional and Friendly

Megan has done more than wonders for me as she helped me get off of a retail theft charge. Not only did she patiently cooperate with me across different cities, she kept me updated on what I should be expecting each step of the way. She was always prompt, knowledgeable, confident, and friendly as wel...l which helped my mind to be at ease. You are more than lucky to work with her as she charges reasonable bills for her services instead of ripping you off like many other lawyers these days. I definitely recommend her to anyone in trouble.

Wouldn't second guess picking Ms. Hazel as my representation.

I had Ms. Hazel as my attorney for a very important case that determined my future. I was being charged on 3 different accounts one of witch was a felony. We went to trial in front of a jury, she walked me through every step explained what different things meant and kept me calm and collected so that... I didnt fall apart. I wasnt released of all the charges but she did get them to to find me not guilty of the felony witch was a big win for us. This case took a big hold of my life and mad things hard for a year and half, but Megan was there to help me out for me to talk to when I needed someone and to keep my mother calm as well since she took this hard also. She also would tell me what I should do and what the best possible decision was for me to make. She told you what was going to happen and what she thought would benefit my case the best. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer then Ms. Megan Hazel. Thank you again Ms. Hazel for everything your did for me.
