Hire her!

Working with Megan was great! She is very communicative, kind, and to the point. She is efficient and follows up quickly. She explained the divorce process in a way I could understand coming from no legal background. She also took my legal insurance, which was such a relief.

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!

Passionate and Sincere!

Megan has been the calming force throughout my difficult divorce. She is a genuine person who cares about her clients but is one who does not hesitate to stand firm with regards to issuing solid legal advice. During my case, emotions would run high and she would help me see through each step logica...lly so as to not keep the case from having to go to an unnecessary trial. The goal of resolving my case in a quick manner and with a healthy level of compromise (on both sides) was always kept in mind. Her counsel is a big reason I can walk away from my divorce with the ability to co-parent amicably with my ex. She was always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. Megan was concise and kept me informed of each step of my case. She not only responded with our portion of the work with speed and accuracy but ensured the opposing council's mistake-riddled documents were quickly rectified so as not to delay judgement. She truly went up and beyond! I would not only recommend her to all my friends and family, but I would use her for all my future legal needs. Megan Bazurto is an attorney you would want to have on your side!

Manager

I am so grateful, that my friend referred me to Megan and she was willing to assist me with my divorce. My situation was so all over the place, that I had become frustrated with all the legalities, timeframes and the future ex husband. But Megan handled it with patience, grace, and integrity. She ha...ndled all the paperwork, and communication doing her best to turn that negative situation into a positive experience. Thank you Megan, I truly appreciate you.......

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!
