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 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.

I was a victim of domestic abuse for many years. It became unbearable with the children involved. I sought legal help to protect myself and the children. I was referred to Magdalena Chattopadhya. She found out all about the history of abuse with the help of psychologists and other experts. She got me a restraining order. Now I have moved on and feel so much more happy and relieved. Now I am with my children and look forward to a better future for them. I owe a lot to Magdalena and her firm. Their kindness and firmness with the opposing party and their tactical strategy in court saved me. I recommend her whole heartedly.

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!

Moksha and the Magdalena law team was exceptional. They were very communicative about what they wanted and needed for my case. Anne, Jasmine, and Moksha were entirely helpful and made me feel at ease. Not once did I have to worry if they missed something. They never made any guarantees yet throughout my process I felt at ease nonetheless. I'd highly highly recommend this law firm specifically in Family Law if you need the help. It was money well spent.

This review is long overdue. I can't thank Atty. Moksha Smith and the wonderful, compassionate, caring team at Magdalena Law Group enough. It's never easy going through something so life changing & traumatic, but Atty. Smith and her team made it easier along the journey and the ultimate outcome. They take the time to listen, make themselves available, do all the legwork and upkeep of files, and they work with you on a plan that is achievable and favorable. The plan and process they set forth and the support they provided along the way, helped me understand the legal process which for many, like myself, is so confusing. You can definitely put your trust in this firm and their entire team hands down.
