I worked with Magdalena Chattopadhya and the team of Magdalena Law Group for approximately a year. It was a challenging time, but I am happy with the results, the responsiveness and support of the team, and the masterful strategy advisements I was receiving. I would definitely work with them again an...d have since recommended Magdalena Law Group to others in need of a skilled family law attorney.

I was facing a high-conflict divorce, especially with a manipulative and narcissistic opponent—and I can proudly say today that I hired THE BEST!!. Magdalena was nothing short of extraordinary, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is exceptional because she is a brilliant strategist. Her legal m...ind is razor-sharp. She anticipates every move, dismantles lies, and crafts airtight strategies that leave no room for manipulation. Her ability to expose deceit and hold the other side accountable is unmatched!!! Magdalena and her team are compassionate yet fierce—she doesn’t just fight for you; she stands with you. Her compassion gave me strength, but her relentless determination in court was awe-inspiring. She doesn’t back down—she dominates. She is an absolute terror to narcissists—if your ex is playing mind games, she shuts them down. She quickly detects manipulation, exposes gaslighting, and dismantles false narratives using objective, factual information. Watching her in the court hearings and deposition was like watching a master tactician at work. Magdalena is more than a lawyer—a mentor. She didn’t just win my case; she rebuilt my confidence. She guided me through emotional turmoil, made me stronger, and gave me my life back. I walked away with justice, fairness, and my dignity intact. The outcome of hiring Magdalena was total victory in a brutal, high-conflict divorce. She exposed lies and secured what was rightfully mine. She empowered me to stand tall against intimidation. If you need a lawyer who fights like a lion, thinks ten steps ahead, and genuinely cares about your future, she is THE ONE. Don’t settle for less—hire her, and you’ll walk away not just with a win, but with your life restored. 10/10—Would recommend Magdalena Law Group without hesitation.

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 tha...t 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.

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’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 dedica...tion 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!
