Exceptional Lawyer

Working with Megan has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made during a very difficult family law situation. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she genuinely cares about her clients. Megan took the time to understand my concerns, explain my options clearly, and make ...sure I always felt supported, informed, and respected. What stood out most was her professionalism, her compassion, and her ability to stay calm and strategic even when things became stressful. She didn’t just represent me — she advocated for what was fair and in the best interest of my family. Megan is organized, responsive, and committed, and she fights hard without creating unnecessary conflict. I’m truly grateful for her guidance, her patience, and her dedication. If you need a strong, empathetic, and trustworthy family law attorney, I can’t recommend Megan enough. She made a challenging process so much easier to navigate, and I felt protected every step of the way.

A wonderful human being and caring law professional

So many qualities in one person. I can honestly tell you that my experience with Megan is so good, that I would strongly recommend her for your Family, Landlord or tenant, Land use and zoning issues. When a lawyer picks up your phone and even calls you to check on you, it is a simple math to show tha...t the lawyer did not not just take your money and go, but cares about you and your issues.

Bazurto Law

When I first contacted Mrs Bazurto, she took the time to listen to my problem instead of just setting an appointment or talking prices. That was what prompted me to hire her for my family law case. She has been incredibly helpful, caring, and supportive through the whole thing. She has treated m...e as a person instead of just another case. I don't think I could have made a better choice for representation .

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!

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.
