GREAT !!!!

MS BAZURTO, my former attorney was a community lawyer? not good , my former lawywer was just awful.she had submitted answers to discoveries that were not mine or it was but said in a different way.. she failed to submit my written responses on side of leagal forms , she would talk to be as if i didn...t understand what she was saying, and every visit asking for payments. she not once asked me about the situation,nor did she listen to my reasons...and because of her lack in profession i have to ammend and gather certain importatant things pertaining to my defense..yet i had no idea where to start.. I found AVVO on the web looking for answers.. Ms Bazutro and other lawyers had given me some positve direction, Ms Bazurto was the only one who reached out and consulted with me.. i gave me a number to a professional pro bono attorney here in san francisco and directed me to an organization that can help me straighten things out and file the right forms. before consulting with MS Bazurto , i thought i had a good defense attorney, i thought i had a good defense ..now i am more than positive that i have a strong case , just need a good attorney.. thank you Ms BUzrto for consulting with me..although your practice is in sacramento you still gave me direction to help from dedicated , upholding , knowledgeable lawyers like you..

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.

Megan Bazurto is the most competant and caring family law attorney

Attorney Bazurto helped me with a family law matter. My ex-boyfriend filed for joint custody of my daughter even though he abandoned me during the pregnancy and never met her after she was born. Attorney Bazurto held my hand throughout the entire process of responding to his complaint, filing my ow...n request for custody orders and writing my petition to move away. She helped with the trial of the case and we ended up with the best possible result. I was granted permission to move out of state and given sole physical custody of my daughter. Attorney Bazurto was really knowledgeable about this area of the law. She was very passionate about my case and made herself available to me seven days a week. She was very responsive to my calls, always calling me back within a few hours. She was very warm and friendly, not at all like what you get with a lot of other attorneys. Please use her for any family matters you encounter. She will treat you like family.

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.
