Professional and EXTREMELY knowledgable

I retained Ms.Hazel to represent me in a very difficult divorce. Ms. Hazel's knowledge and attention to the smallest details concerning my divorce was incredible. I am extremely satisfied with her service and the outcome of my divorce. Ms. Hazel is an excellent attorney and I would recommend her to ...anyone seeking a top rate attorney.

Amazing attorney!

I contacted Megan to represent me in a divorce. She is extremely professional and detail oriented. Megan has an amazing court room presence and comes highly prepared. Whenever you have a question she will respond quickly and I can not say enough about her preparedness and her concern for her client...s. I highly recommend her!

Working with Ms Hazle is good.

Ms Hazle helped me with representation regarding a neighbor seeking recovery for damage to their property. She handled that successfully. She also helped getting my divorce settled satisfactorarily. She's great to work with.

Best Decision I ever made!

I first met Megan in 2012 after she came highly recommended by a friend of mine. I was struggling in my marriage and I wanted some advise and information regarding separation and divorce. I was so scared and nervous during our first meeting; I'm not sure if I even made any sense to Megan as I rambl...ed through my concerns. Megan sat and listened, taking notes and asking questions. She made me feel at ease and comfortable but most important she made me feel like I wasn't alone. Megan has been with me and for me the entire time. Megan is honest, trustworthy, empathetic and sympathetic. She has a great sense of humor which makes her seem "not so scary". She takes a real life approach to her practice; and is upfront and direct. I greatly appreciate Megan and all that she has done for me.

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.
