Magdalena Law Group

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exemplary service provided by Magdalena Law Group (MLG) during my ongoing divorce proceedings. From the moment that I hired them, I’ve felt a sense of reassurance and professionalism that instantly put me at ease during what is undoubtedly one of the most emotionally taxing periods of my life. Moksha Smith has not only demonstrated an in-depth understanding of family law but also exhibited a remarkable level of empathy and compassion throughout the entire process. She takes the time to listen attentively to my concerns, addressing each one with patience and understanding. This personalized approach made me feel like more than just another client; I felt genuinely cared for and supported every step of the way. Her expertise in navigating the complexities of family court was evident in her strategic guidance and meticulous attention to detail. Moksha’s provided clear explanations of legal procedures and potential outcomes, empowering me to make informed decisions about my case. Her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family was unwavering, and I felt confident in her abilities at every stage of the proceedings. Not only did Moksha advocate fiercely on my behalf in the courtroom, but she also fostered an atmosphere of collaboration and respect, encouraging amicable resolutions whenever possible. Her commitment to finding peaceful solutions amidst the chaos of divorce has been truly commendable. Thanks to Moksha's tireless efforts and unwavering support, I am able to move forward with confidence and peace of mind, knowing that my best interests were upheld with integrity and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend MLG to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation during challenging family law matters.

I was referred by a dear close friend. Without hesitation, I contacted Magdalena Chattopadhya of Magdalena Law Firm. I am very blessed & appreciative to have the entire team (Magdalena, Moksha, Rutika, Pam, Claire, Jasmine and Julie) provided me guidance/counseling, worked carefully and answered every question/ concern I had which relieved my extreme distress, anxiety & confusion of an emotional divorce. These attorneys (Magdalena & Moksha) have prime knowledge & expertise of the law, they delivered OUTSTANDING & SUPERB RESULT!!! I am FOREVER THANKFUL!!!

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!

Moksha Smith, Claire Swann and The Magdalena Law Group is the Excellence in Family Law. After I received my dissolution of marriage, I felt lost in a dark room not knowing where to start. I was recommended to The Magdalena Law Group and they quickly set up an appointment with Moksha Smith, during the appointment Moksha made me feel like I had somebody that will defend me. I hired The Magdalena Law Group to defend me during this process, Claire Swann is on top of all the legal paperwork that needs to be submitted. I’m truly grateful that Moksha, Claire and The Magdalena Law Group are representing me during this process. I highly recommend The Magdalena Law Group because they defend their clients the right way and based on the Law

Attorney Moksha Smith and her team are the best. Mrs. Smith always replies, texts me back and emails me promptly when I have a question or concern. It’s very draining emotionally and just to know someone cares, listens and has your back, really has made the difference. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable and works extremely hard to make the the experience less stressful. Thank you everyone at Magdalena Law Group!
