Magdalena Chattopadhya

Professional, clear and to the point legal advice. I scheduled a second opinion consultation for my divorce case with attorney Magdalena Chattopadhya based on her credentials and high rankings. I was very impressed with the lawer's analytical skills and how she was able to help me understand the cour...t system.

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 div...orce 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!

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.

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.

Persistent, dedicated, knowledgeable and client focused are the adjectives I would use to describe Magdalena and her team. My case was tricky and had many nuances but Magdalena and her team dealt with each challenge strategically. They were patient in addressing my concerns and came up with sound so...lutions to mitigate the risk for me at each stage. I was done with my proceedings in less than 5 months and I am highly thankful to Magdalena and her team for helping me through one of the toughest parts of my life. Thank you Magdalena!!!
