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.

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.

MEGAN BAZURTO IS AMAZING

Megan was incredible. She’s kind, personable, efficient, helpful with gentle reminders when appropriate, clear, effective with communication and very responsive. She was also good with personable contact with the other party so as not to exacerbate a sensitive situation. She’s so intelligent and tho...rough. Documents were accurate and I never felt like a number.

Lifesaver!

My husband and I went through an eviction/unlawful detainer situation, which involved a lot of family drama, immigration related threats and a restraining order (ruled in our favor). With Megan's help we came out of this problem in just 2 weeks, which was impossible to imagine because of the COVID-19... situation. Megan was always accessible to us via call/text/emails and she listened to our problems not only as an attorney but like a family member. She kept us updated with the newest laws/regulations regarding Landlord/Tenant cases and surpassed all our expectations. Megan's compassion toward her clients is impeccable. She feels strongly for her client's welfare and is passionate towards each case that she handles. It is hard to believe that there are still some professionals who would go beyond the regular "above and beyond" to help their clients, but in Megan's case its true. Needless to say, that during those tough times we felt extremely safe, well informed and confident under Megan's guidance and can’t thank her enough. I would highly recommend anyone with a landlord/tenant or Civil matter to speak to Attorney Megan Bazurto. She is THE BEST.

Accessible & Helpful with Integrity!

I needed time sensitive legal advice regarding Landlord Tenant issues related to COVID AB 3088 law. Megan was informed, willing to help, responsive and concise. I had a few clarifying questions the law does not specifically address. Megan was willing to clarify the law. She also made me aware of cer...tain actions available to me. I sincerely appreciated her accessibility and willingness to help. Integrity, accessibility, direct, and helpful communication is her calling card! These are awesome and hard to find traits in attorneys. Megan has all of them. I recommend that you call her to find out how she can help. She's accessible and wiling to help! Thank you, Megan S. Bazurto, I sincerely valued your advice!!! Deborah
