Landlord Tenant Issue

I hired Megan to help me evict a tenant after the lawyer I was using provided a 60 day notice to vacate that didn't follow CA law. Megan provided legal notices and had them served. I didn't have to evict however, when the tenant sued me for her moving expenses, Megan helped to prepare my cross compl...aint, put together my evidence, had the tenant served and mailed and emailed evidence to the parties involved. She charges a reasonable rate and has spoken with me many times to go over information or provide advice without charging for each call, text or email. She really wants to help her clients achieve the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend.

Divorce case

I filed for my divorce in 2019. Had sought legal help and was stuck in limbo for about 8 months. I consulted with Megan about my case and she knew exactly what to do. I hired her to help finish up my paperwork. She's kind, professional, and communicates every step of the way. I am eternally grateful ...to her for giving me back my life and sanity. I can start moving forward. Will definitely hire again if I ever need legal help again. Thank you Megan!

Lifesaver!

My husband and I went through an eviction/unlawful detainer situation, which involved a lot of family drama, immigration related threats and a restraining order (ruled in our favor). With Megan's help we came out of this problem in just 2 weeks, which was impossible to imagine because of the COVID-19... situation. Megan was always accessible to us via call/text/emails and she listened to our problems not only as an attorney but like a family member. She kept us updated with the newest laws/regulations regarding Landlord/Tenant cases and surpassed all our expectations. Megan's compassion toward her clients is impeccable. She feels strongly for her client's welfare and is passionate towards each case that she handles. It is hard to believe that there are still some professionals who would go beyond the regular "above and beyond" to help their clients, but in Megan's case its true. Needless to say, that during those tough times we felt extremely safe, well informed and confident under Megan's guidance and can’t thank her enough. I would highly recommend anyone with a landlord/tenant or Civil matter to speak to Attorney Megan Bazurto. She is THE BEST.

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.

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly

I had a real estate matter that I'd been trying to resolve for past four months and no results. I called Megan Bazurto and left a message, she responded in a timely manner. After original consultation, she explained the next steps. She was very professional and friendly and I felt comfortable hiring ...her. She resolved my issue in matter of a week. I'd definitely hire her again and highly recommend her. Thank you.
