I had consulted with a lot of other well-reviewed bay area attorney’s, but very few of them could make informed and structured recommendations after consults. After my first consultation with Moksha Smith, I knew I would be in the hands of an empathetic, incredibly sharp & domain expert attorney.From the moment i engaged Moksha Smith to represent me, 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 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. I tend to ramble on sometimes, but she has this amazing way of gently steering me back to what truly matters for the case. I felt genuinely cared for and supported every step of the way. MLG & team attention to detail and expertise in strategy coupled with stellar teamwork & collaboration are just a few of the remarkable qualities that sets them apart and makes them truly exceptional. I am sure going forward their courtroom presence will be impressive showcasing their persuasive advocacy skills and deep expertise in law to drive the best results for their clients. Thank you to the whole team for the countless hours, knowledge & expertise, efforts, & passion in your work. It is because of people like you that faith in the goodness of humanity is restored.

This review is written from my bottom of heart as I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Moksha and her team in my defense against very serious false criminal charges that had been brought against me. I had to learn patience while the case was being worked, but worth every bit of the wait. I have been told that the particular charges I was facing are never dropped at the Preliminary Examination and yet, Moksha who did a stellar job at questioning the alleged victim, victim’s mother and the police officer to bring out the truth and ultimately justice, when the Judge made his ruling to drop these false charges against me. She is AMAZING and deserves much more than 5 stars!

I'm grateful for receiving the caring guidance I needed to get me through my divorce and back on my feet. The process was much easier thanks to Magdalena Law Group! Thank you!

I have worked with Moksha Smith in criminal litigation cases many times. She is an outstanding, professional, and aggressive attorney whose skill and composure makes her one of the best in town. Ms. Smith is a highly efficient and effective lawyer who I would not hesitate to recommend.

I would highly recommend Magdalena Law Group to friends, family, and anyone needing a professional legal representation. During the first appointment, Magdalena thoroughly reviewed my situation and continued reevaluating it in the course of the case. The fee was given up front with no hidden charges. Magdalena worked quickly and efficiently to resolve my matter faster than I expected. Thank you Magdalena Law Group!

While I have nothing but great things to say about everyone I've interacted with at this firm, this review is specifically centered around my attorney, Chelsea Pagan. Ms. Pagan came into my case 3.5 years after it had started, and I'd been struggling that whole time with my former counsel who was often not at all on top of what was going on. Ms. Pagan caught up to speed on my case very quickly and with great aplomb. The safety and well-being of everyone involved, especially that of the minor child involved in my case, is of paramount importance to her, and she conducts her business with every bit of the professional integrity one could ever ask for. Her astute attention to detail is critical, as she is able to see through diversionary tactics of the opposing parties, and handles them with the grace and confidence that get fair and just results. My divorce has been one which I could only describe as nightmarish. Before hiring Ms. Pagan, I constantly felt lost, overwhelmed, and like nobody had my back. Since hiring her, my confidence that my case is getting handled fairly, and with everyone's (especially my child's) best interests in mind has taken a 180 degree turn. She *really* listens, and understands that you are going through really emotionally and financially difficult times, and gives you all the care and understanding that you could ever ask for. She does everything she can to help you in the most effective way possible without financially draining you in the process. Her communication is clear, prompt, and professional, which I've come to learn is a rarity in this industry. The entire firm she works within is also fantastic! Every paralegal and assistant I've dealt with has been kind, helpful, and very informative. I would never choose anybody but Ms. Pagan and her firm again. Hiring her as my counsel was the best choice I've made in a long, long time, and I only wish I'd made the switch sooner.

great attorney who are there to help you every step of the way

I had consulted with a couple of other well-reviewed SJ lawyers, but none of them could make informed recommendations at our 1-hour long, paid consults. After our first talk, I knew I would be in the hands of an experienced and communicative attorney. Moksha, Jasmine and the team got me and my little family out of a rough spot legally. We didn't have a straightforward case, and we were prepared for a long fight, but Moksha found a relatively quick solution. If I ever need a family/marriage lawyer in future, I will come back to this team.

Magdalena is very professional, straightforward and gave sound advice.

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.
