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.

Magdalena and her team did an excellent job representing me. While she is extremely knowledgeable about the law - her superpower is her EQ skills. She is able to read people and situations extremely well and navigate accordingly. Her team is extremely responsive and very hard working.

I’d like to express how vastly sensitive my case was, I had endured several contempt actions from my ex, general neglect of my children and relentless harassment. Our previous attorney had to let go of my case, adding to my woes. I quickly had to get legal counsel, and I reached out to Magdalena Law group to take up my case. She approached my case with the highest level of professionalism, thoroughness and was honest enough to point out the hard facts, and where I was lacking in terms of my efforts. She knows her craft and walks the extra mile for you. Even with her busy schedule, is always available and does her best when it's most needed. She helped me and my children seek appropriate counseling and therapy to deal with the situation. She was prompt enough to highlight the harassment from my ex, mental illness, and its impact on my children. She helped prove the fact that I was a victim of abuse for all those years. She has an impeccable understanding of the law and presented our case with case studies and judgements on similar cases in the past, this helped us win in what seemed like an impossible case to win. Thank you, Magdalena and team, for all the support and diligence!

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 dedication 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!

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. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have such an exceptional group of legal professionals by my side during this challenging family matter. Magdalena's team is undoubtedly a consummate expert in their field and deserves every accolade for their outstanding services.

Their genuine care and understanding fostered a trusting relationship, providing immense comfort during a challenging time. Believe me when I say that you will have THE BEST team on your side to get a fair outcome on your favor. Moksha Smith and Rutika were assigned to my case. 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. From the friendly receptionists to the knowledgeable paralegals, everyone I encountered was supportive and responsive, ensuring a seamless experience.

Moksha and Rutika (and Jasmine for keeping me on target), you ladies are the best!! YOU ROCK!! I appreciate your support in the upcoming hearings!! We got this :)

Legal issues can be daunting. Often we are in need of representation when one is at their low. Especially regarding matters that carry so much emotion. This was my state of mind while facing child custody proceedings and financial support struggles. When under the influence of such high stress and emotion, you need a clear thinking representative that is capable of systematically engineering a plan of action. An attorney who can draw on years of experience and is able to lay out a roadmap. Only then can one begin to see a path toward liberation. What I have found is that it's best to get out in front, take in on and face the challenges with grit. If you procrastinate, you give others the ability to create the narrative and gain advantage. I found Magdalena to be a most wonderful advocate. She was a voice of comfort and reason within a very dynamic and emotional set of circumstances. I emerged from my case in a wonderful position, one that I thought was not possible. In that regard, my attorney outperformed my most optimistic expectations. When choosing an attorney, chose a pure professional. Magdalena and her team are certainly that!

================= I have known Magdalena for the last few years. She has grown to be a reputable and well respected family law attorney in Silicon Valley. With her double board certifications she is more knowledgeable in family law than most attorneys in her field. Her law firm has followed strong growth. She has had remarkable success with high earners and high asset individuals.. Her firm is very proficient in handling domestic violence cases and helping abused persons. Because of the large number of high skilled new immigrants in the Bay area and their ties to their countries of origin a family law firm has to be culturally sensitive and have knowledge of international family law matters. Magdalena Law Group I think has developed such expertise. When there is money, property and family spread across different lands it requires an unique finesse in an attorney to handle such cases. Magdalena is suited for handling such matters. I wish her and all her team members a great future.
