The best lawyer
I guess 5 star rating is less, so I am giving 100*. My case was bit complicated as it had three jurisdictions involved and normally it takes few hours to understand. Magdalena was able to understand within 15 minutes and asked very relevant questions and prepared the case. She has this unique ability think at the speed of light and come out with solutions. She also understand the pain points and feelings of clients and advice very meticulously. The whole law group team members are excellent, especially Jasmine, Moksha, Clair. Magdalena always goes one step ahead and help clients. I couldn't not have asked or had a better lawyer than her and the team. I highly recommend Magdalena law group and the services for their solutions in very less time with every minute details. Hats of Magdalena

Excellent attorney
Divorce, separation, custody, complications are the 4 words which have triggered immense stress to me in recent times. I was naïve about the state of the California family court system and felt I needed help. But I can attest that not all attorneys are alike. After I started losing hope and felt everything righteous that lived in this world had turned its back on me, I made a phone call out of desperation, fear for my children's safety, and my liberation from a relationship that lost its meaning far before. And then my prayers of desperation and angst were answered. My beacon of light, Magdalena Chattopadhya, answered the phone and agreed to represent me the very next day in my most crucial hearing of a complicated divorce case, only to help me buy time and find a better way to navigate me through the mess that was created for me. Her compassion, honesty, sincerity, have no bounds and I finally felt my words had meaning. Her office staff and her associates were always available to me. She took up this case in its ugliest hour and found a way to save me, my children, and my legal status in this country. She got me out of the legal mess created by another lawyer that could have backfired with irreparable consequences and for that I am forever grateful to her and her group. The complexity of my case itself shows the caliber of lawyer she is in getting things finalized and ironed out in an as favorable way as we could have hoped, given the circumstances. For those who are seeking new counsel, feel misguided, and feel like they are drawing their last straw, please take a moment and contact Ms. Magdalena Chattopadhya. Your dark doomed path may also find its beacon of light and hope.

Got better settlement offer than I ask for!
My divorce case was year long and had division of assets and 2 settlement meetings. Magdalena Chattopadhya asked exactly what I wanted so she could get me the best deal, she always gave me a choice to choose from and advocated for what could be best for me in the long run. She got me a settlement that was better then what I expected! Pamela Burgos was very thorough with the forms and she was extremely supportive and thoughtful. Jasmine Ly was the superstar of the team always available to answer any questions putting my mind at ease. I realized that divorce is not easy until you work with your lawyer to communicate clearly what you want emotionally and financially, so they can get you the best deal you can live without regrets.

Fiercely DEFENDED - Silenced the other side. Best Family Law attorney in my 15 years of hell post divorce!
I contacted Magdalena Chattopadhya of Magdalena Law Group three years ago as I went about interviewing (5) separate law firms in the San Jose area. My effort was to replace my attorneys at the time related to my family law case that had been in effect for over 10 years. My case was related to a divorce in 2008 where my ex moved to CA and took our two boys with her. The divorce matter was resolved but the custody disputes were ongoing and intense. We never went more than a year without being in the courtroom, where my ex-wife attempted over and over again to reduce my parenting time. When my boys wanted to come and live with me, it hit the fan and an Emergency Screening was ordered. Then, a Parenting Coordinator was assigned. Apparently, a Parenting Coordinator should generally work to reduce issues, but our assigned coordinator did not work fairly. I didn't know what to do and my current attorneys didn't have much to offer. I wanted someone to fiercely represent me and pursue what I knew was right! Magdalena jumped in and had to review over a decade of material and circumstances. I was constantly surprised by how much information she digested and knew without being prompted. Not only did she keep us out of the courtroom for the remainder of time left until my youngest turned 18, but she silenced the efforts of my ex-wife and her attorney and also silenced the Parenting Coordinator who, in my opinion, poorly handled the case and should not serve as such in good faith. Magdalena herself helped me to do exactly what was needed in order to prevail. Even when I would be exasperated over the ridiculousness and contentiousness of the PC, OP, and my ex-wife, she assured me that if I followed her counsel, we would prevail - and we did! Had I remained with my former counsel or selected anyone else, I could not imagine having survived the legal attacks as I did. If you're looking for someone who won't "blow sunshine" and instead, give it to you straight and compel you to understand, Magdalena Law Group is THE choice. As an aside, everything with her office is smooth. Payments, documentation support, meetings, etc., - the team at Magdalena Law Group is smart, quick to act, and at your service, as they were at mine. I am beyond grateful for the services rendered and recommend Magdalena Law Group as they were the best family law representation I had - totaling 5 other firms!

Competitiveness
I’ve had a terrible experience with my former lawyer which made it hard for me to trust a new lawyer. I learned about Moksha Smith through a friend of ours. I was skeptical at first since my former lawyer gave me a really bad experience. Moksha was very understanding, I felt her compassion and dedication to our case. She knows exactly how the court works. She gave me the best advice to win that mediation which gives us a good chance to hopefully win our case. She eventually earned my trust due to her consistency, hard work, time and effort. She is worth every penny! I appreciate her responsiveness and for always keeping us updated. I also appreciate her patience and how she answered all our questions and concerns before the hearing. She cleaned up our former lawyer’s mess. I highly recommend Moksha. If you want someone who is accurate and realistic, Moksha Smith is the best lawyer to hire! She deserves more than 5 stars!

I wish I could give them 100 stars! I am writing this review to express my outmost satisfaction with the exceptional legal services provided by Magdalena's Family Law Firm. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have such an exceptional group of legal professionals by my side during this challenging family matter. Magdalena's team is undoubtedly a consummate expert in their field and deserves every accolade for their outstanding services. From the initial consultation and through the different difficult hearings of my case, Magdalena's team consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. Their profound knowledge of family law, coupled with their astute strategic thinking, proved to be instrumental in successfully navigating complex legal proceedings. Throughout my legal process, they have exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, always making themselves available to address any concerns or questions I constantly have. Their exceptional communication skills are awesome. I am always well-informed about the progress of my case, leaving me with a sense of confidence and reassurance. What truly sets Magdalena's team apart is their empathetic and compassionate approach. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and hire them. Family matters can be emotionally charged, and they have displayed an extraordinary ability to balance the legal aspects while being sensitive to the human dynamics involved. Their genuine care and understanding fostered a trusting relationship, providing immense comfort during a challenging time. Believe me when I say that you will have THE BEST team on your side to get a fair outcome on your favor. Moksha Smith and Rutika were assigned to my case. They have been a blessing and I cannot thank them enough for what we have accomplished so far. Furthermore, their attention to detail and meticulous preparation were on the dot. They left no stone unturned, meticulously helped me gather evidence, conducting thorough research, and devising effective strategies. Their courtroom presence was impressive showcasing their persuasive advocacy skills and deep expertise in family law!! I was so proud of having Moksha represent me during the a crucial hearing to set child/spousal support. I must also commend the entire team at Magdalena's for their professionalism and dedication. From the friendly receptionists to the knowledgeable paralegals, everyone I encountered was supportive and responsive, ensuring a seamless experience. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Magdalena's Family Law Firm to anyone seeking a family lawyer. Their unparalleled expertise, combined with their compassionate approach, is truly making a significant difference in my case.

Magdalena is an amazing lawyer with a fantastic team
Magdalena and her team were an absolute joy to work with during a very unpleasant experience. Magdalena is a razor-sharp attorney; she understood the situation quickly, intuitively and empathically. She is a very efficient and effective communicator, and I always found her experience and advice to be spot on. That made it much easier to trust Magdalena, her excellent team and the process through a completely unfamiliar and sometimes scary situation. The Magdalena Law Group team is extremely professional and efficient, and they expertly handled everything in an extremely coordinated manner. I cannot emphasize enough how comfortable I felt through an uncomfortable process, and how confident I felt that I had the best legal team on my side. I was especially impressed at how responsive Magdalena was when things were time-sensitive and especially important. I wish everyone I worked with were as competent and kind as Magdalena and her team.

Thorough professional.
Where do I start. I was going through a bad divorce and had lost all hope of having any sort of custody of my only son. Magdalena Chattopadhya was my third lawyer and I do not know why I met her. I just had a feeling that I should meet her as a last resort. And boy did she exceed my expectations. In the first meeting itself, she assured me that she’ll do the best she can for me. Although, she didn’t promise anything but kinda said what might be the outcome of the case if I had her on board. She’s an absolute gem of a lawyer and has so much knowledge about the family law cases and commands respect in the San Jose family court circle. She has a very pleasing personality and even though her fees are kinda on the higher side but she never charges a penny extra and is very cognizant of her client’s time and money. If anyone needs an amazing lawyer in the Bay Area for family law cases; keep calm and retain Magdalena Chattopadhya. She will get the job done and some more. I can’t thank her enough. She has absolutely resurrected my life and I salute her. I can vouch for her any day of the week.

Excellent Attorney!
I'm fortunate to have picked Magdalena Law Group to help me get through a very difficult and emotional divorce. Magdalena and team told me just what I needed to know and do at the right time so that I could make steady forward progress in what otherwise can be overwhelming. So many times my emotions took over and I found if I just followed her lead then things got done. Magdalena is extremely efficient with her time and won't waste your time with any extra small talk. She's specific about what you need to do each step of the way; just do that and you'll be pleased with the end result. She has many clients, so you'll need to understand that she can be very busy and sometimes hard to reach, but that she and her staff are always talking and strategizing what and by when things should get done for each client. They're always on top of it and have your back.

Excellent attorney help me navigate through a highly contentious and complicated issue
I had hired Magdalena after I realized that my spouse had filed multiple cases in the Unites States and other country . All of these cases were open, and I had a really hard time understanding each one meant and navigating them all simultaneously. It was a tough few months for me. Magdalena not only co-ordinated with me, she also worked with my attorneys offshore and the plethora of attorneys that my spouse had hired. She took a very neat, timely and methodical approach. Ultimately the court ruled in my favour. 10/10 would recommend

Excellent team, highly recommend
I am grateful to Magdalena Law Group beyond words. I worked closely with Moksha Smith as my attorney and found her extremely knowledgeable and understanding legal counsel I could 100% rely on. During my times of distress, confusion and ignorance - she listened to me patiently every single time and provided me the absolute appropriate advice. I had interviewed several law groups and no one gave me as much confidence and education about my rights as Magdalena Law Group did. The whole team including Magdalena, Claire, Jasmine and Rutika worked diligently on my case guiding me through each step and answering every question I had along the way. Where I felt weak, they were there to stand by me and guide me. I would highly recommend them as a strong legal guide to anyone looking to getting out of a difficult situation.

Magdalena with all her degrees and certifications is a very compassionate human being. She handled my domestic violence case and saved me from my ex abusive husband.

Well educated in family law and an expert
I hired Magdalena Law Group to handle my divorce case. Child custody was an issue and property division needed to be handled. As there were lots of money in stocks and bonds and rental property in various states it required a lot of forensic work. Magdalena, the chief lawyer handled my case like the expert she is and brought my divorce to a satisfactory ending. I am extremely satisfied with her work.

Amazing lawyer, great outcome!
Magdalena is an amazing lawyer. She is very familiar with the legal process and can easily explain it in a straight - forward way. I was overwhelmed after I separated from my husband - he was not only going after me, but also tried getting to me through my family. With Magdalena's help, we uncovered information and documents I was unaware of before. She was professional but approachable. I could rely on her to thoroughly answer my questions. Even when I was nervous, she calmed me down and guided me to finalize my case with a great outcome.
