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'm fortunate to have picked Magdalena Law Group to help me get through a very difficult and emotional divorce. Magdalena and team told me just what I needed to know and do at the right time so that I could make steady forward progress in what otherwise can be overwhelming. So many times my emotions took over and I found if I just followed her lead then things got done. Magdalena is extremely efficient with her time and won't waste your time with any extra small talk. She's specific about what you need to do each step of the way; just do that and you'll be pleased with the end result. She has many clients, so you'll need to understand that she can be very busy and sometimes hard to reach, but that she and her staff are always talking and strategizing what and by when things should get done for each client. They're always on top of it and have your back.

Magdalena thoroughly researched my case type and also studied significant cultural factors. She gave me great advice during certain crucial moments so that I didn't ruin my case or experience more grief going forward. She's adept in regards to intelligently negotiating with the other side, which is important because your ex may want more than they deserve. Her fees are very similar to other family law attorneys and she always emailed me updates regarding how much of my retainer has been used up (the charges were detailed and reasonable). I definitely recommend the services of this law office.

Persistent, dedicated, knowledgeable and client focused are the adjectives I would use to describe Magdalena and her team. My case was tricky and had many nuances but Magdalena and her team dealt with each challenge strategically. They were patient in addressing my concerns and came up with sound solutions to mitigate the risk for me at each stage. I was done with my proceedings in less than 5 months and I am highly thankful to Magdalena and her team for helping me through one of the toughest parts of my life. Thank you Magdalena!!!
