Knowledgeable and straight forward on lease issues

As landlords with a tricky tenant situation, we greatly appreciated Megan's ability to listen and then provide specific recommendations about avoiding pitfalls, both with this tenant for the remaining term of the lease, and in the future. She was generous with her time, calm, yet very realistic abou...t our position. We plan on contacting her in the future for a review of our lease. agreement.

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!

Very satisfied with Megan

I called Megan and she was very helpful, especially in explaining what she could or could not do. She did not over-promise anything and gave me valuable information. I highly recommend calling her if you have a problem in her areas of expertise.

Detail Oriented

This civil attorney is professional, detail oriented, realistic about the challenges involved in the case and extremely trustworthy. She consistently explains the most complicated legal matter to me in easy to understand terms. She is passionate about the pursuit of justice and clearly identified and... continues to identify the part I as a client must play in the legal battle. Her prices are competitive. This is the first time since I began this horrible ordeal that I finally believe I am being represented by someone who is competent, knows my case and is able to speak with me about its nuances and is equipped with a strategy to help me obtain financial renumeration. She is a breathe a fresh air when in the midst of something that's so emotionally charged. She will keep you focused.

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.
