Awsome landlord-tenant attorney: Works fast, very proactive, and great communication!

Megan is an awesome landlord-tenant attorney and a really nice, kind, and considerate person too! She helped me win an extremely complicated (criminal squatters in my home with prior experience in forgery, and scamming to make it appear that they have a right to be there) eviction (unlawful detainer)... with skill, patience, determination, and a lot of hard work. From the very beginning she was full of ideas, and worked fast. Throughout the eviction process, she proactively maintained great communication to keep me informed of what she was doing and thinking about, issues she ran into, and ways to overcome or work around the issues. Megan also does family law and had some great insight related to the intersection of my eviction complaint with some related property issues in a divorce I was going through. She collaborated with my divorce attorney to get help assure that I got an important court order regarding property to support the unlawful detainer complaint. Finally, she also was great at helping me prepare for trial and in it all paid off, because we won!

Tenants' advocate for social jutsice

I am a disabled combat veteran fighting retaliation and eviction from a slumlord. Ms. Bazurto listened very well to my issues, was empathetic and offered sound advice. And she invited me to contact her again as the situation progresses. Thank you for your help and fighting for social justice, Ms. Baz...urto!

Tenant Lawyer

Mrs. Bazurto is "AWESOME!". She really listened to me and she sympathized with my circumstances. She took my case pro bono. I can say for a person that is as passionate about her career as anyone would be she had compassion for me as a human being. Mrs. Bazurto is as professional as they come and she... went above and beyond for me. I would recommend her service and expertise when it comes to landlord/tenant law.

Satisfied with results.

I emailed ms. Bazurto yesterday regarding a tenant/landlord situation I was facing. She returned my call today in between her other clients, which I deeply appreciated. She had read my text so she was familiar with my needs. Our consultation may have only lasted lasted less than 15 min. but I receive...d a lot of helpful and informative advise from her. She was very easy to talk to and had me at ease the whole conversation. If I do need to pursue this or any other legal related situation i will have her number saved in my phone and will not hesitate to call. I'm grateful for the time ms. Bazurto took to help me and would recommend her at this time for anyone needing legal advise. Thank you so much.

Unlawful Detainer

We had a tenant who was trying to give us a hard time in vacating our property after giving them a 90 day notice to vacate. Megan Bazurto guided us on what to do in case we needed to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit against the tenant. Although we are in the Los Angeles area, Megan made sure w...e would receive all the necessary services in order to begin the process. She promptly responded to our emails, was very courteous, knowledgeable, and an expert at what she does. The tenants actually moved out before it was filed, but the information Megan gave us saved us from a massive headache fighting CA tenant laws. We highly recommend Megan Bazurto, she will not disappoint.
