Accessible & Helpful with Integrity!

I needed time sensitive legal advice regarding Landlord Tenant issues related to COVID AB 3088 law. Megan was informed, willing to help, responsive and concise. I had a few clarifying questions the law does not specifically address. Megan was willing to clarify the law. She also made me aware of cer...tain actions available to me. I sincerely appreciated her accessibility and willingness to help. Integrity, accessibility, direct, and helpful communication is her calling card! These are awesome and hard to find traits in attorneys. Megan has all of them. I recommend that you call her to find out how she can help. She's accessible and wiling to help! Thank you, Megan S. Bazurto, I sincerely valued your advice!!! Deborah

Outstanding

We hired Megan to prepare a Motion and other legal documents to help a family member in a difficult situation who was being taken advantage of. After an initial consultation, Megan not only caught the fraud, but identified the urgency and worked incredibly hard in a time crunch to protect them. She... demonstrated a level of dedication I'd hardly expect from anyone. Her rate was more than fair, and her responses were expedient. She knows her stuff, and put together a well-researched powerfully-compelling case that we never would have been able to do without her. It honestly felt like I was reading a famous case in a law class. She gave us hope in a dark time, and I can't recommend her any higher.

Excellent attorney and communicator

Megan communicated clearly and resolved our legal matter quickly. She was very responsive to all communications and provided sound legal advice. She was also kind and straightforward. I would highly recommend Megan Bazurto.

Awesome Attorney!

I hired Megan as a consultant to help me in my self-represented grandparent visitation case that was set to go to trial. I had done all of the footwork leading up to the trial but found myself needing legal guidance for how to introduce evidence, compile witnesses and general approach. From the mom...ent I contacted Megan, she helped me tremendously to streamline what was in front of me, and also to zoom out and pay close attention to the main points in my case and what the judge would be paying attention to. This was extremely helpful for me, as my case was emotionally charged and it was easy for me to lose sight of what would be the judge's perspective. Megan met with me to coach me and help me prepare, and although I had already paid for a set amount of consult time, she was very generous with additional time and I knew it was because she cares and wanted to make sure I had all that I needed. She has been awesome from the get go! She is compassionate and professional and I loved the fact that she tells it like it is. After the trial, she has followed up with me to make sure all went well and was available to help me with a post-trial issue. She's great and I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me through a very difficult situation and provided insight that I believe helped me win visitation of my granddaughter. Thank you Megan!

Very Helpful and Informative

Consulting with Megan was very helpful and informative. She offered great advice and direction for my situation. She listened and was very personable and genuine and seemed to be someone who I could count on to help me though the difficult times ahead. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts I ...won't be able to use her services, but if I could have I definitely would. Thanks Megan.

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.
