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.

Best Attorney in the Sacramento Region.

Excellent lawyer. Thorough, detail-oriented, and quick to respond. She helped me navigate a complicated nuisance unlawful detainer case that had significant complexities, with multiple unauthorized occupants. Megan made the process significant easier to understand, and was very informative about tim...elines. I do not think there is a legal professional that is more adept or skilled at their work than Megan. Would highly recommend.

CIVIL CASE

Ms. Attorney Megan, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the excellent job you have done in handling my case. Your professionalism, dedication, and expertise have been beneficial throughout the process. I cannot thank you enough for the time and energy you put into my case and your unw...avering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Your thoroughness in explaining each step of the process, your attention to detail, and your excellent communication skills made me feel confident and reassured throughout the entire ordeal. Your ability to easily navigate complex legal issues was impressive, and I am grateful for your skillful representation. Without a doubt, your exceptional service deserves a diamond rating. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and reliable lawyer. I am sure your future clients will appreciate your dedication and professionalism as much as I have. Once again, thank you so much for all your help. You are indeed an outstanding professional, and I feel very fortunate to have had you on my side. Sincerely, Dexter M

Landlord Tenant Issue

I hired Megan to help me evict a tenant after the lawyer I was using provided a 60 day notice to vacate that didn't follow CA law. Megan provided legal notices and had them served. I didn't have to evict however, when the tenant sued me for her moving expenses, Megan helped to prepare my cross compl...aint, put together my evidence, had the tenant served and mailed and emailed evidence to the parties involved. She charges a reasonable rate and has spoken with me many times to go over information or provide advice without charging for each call, text or email. She really wants to help her clients achieve the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend.

Tenant/Landlord 2016

I apologize this took so long for me to post. Megan Bazurto is a professional yet wonderful, amazing and smart Attorney. I highly recommend her as she was able to have a 3 year old eviction that I did not know about until I tried to move overturned as she filed a motion to vacate and void judgement a...nd we won. She put her ALL into my case and for that I will be forever and wholeheartedly thankful and greatful. Thank you, Mrs. Bazurto for being the person you were to me.
