I used Magdalena for my divorce. My case became extremely complicated as my husband could not be traced and found. He was escaping from accepting legal paper service. Magdalena's strategy with using private detective was very fruitful. She also used forensic accountant as my husband was hiding funds and bank accounts. In the end Magdalena helped me get my rightful money and property. I am now confident. Thanks to Magdalena and her excellent team.

Magdalena handled my divorce case with child custody issues with the greatest expertise and legal knowledge of the best lawyer in Santa Clara county. Her fees and billing were very reasonable and all documented. She turned my life around and I owe a lot to her and her firm. I recommend her with all my heart and mind.

Magdalena Law Group settled my complex divorce case with the utmost skill and avoidance of conflict with my ex wife. I do not want to talk about my divorce case in the internet but I can guarantee that Magdalena and their team are extremely knowledgeable about family law and can handle complicated family situations like domestic violence, child custody and property division with great skill. This law firm changed my life and I am happy now.

I got Magdalena Chattopadhya's help in a domestic violence and restraining order case. Magdalena and her team made an impeccable strategy and filed restraining order against my husband. We got the restraining order because of her excellent motion and advocacy skill.

Magdalena is a very committed and knowledgeable attorney who will give 100% to your case. Its not often you find dedicated lawyers who know their stuff, and are empathetic to your cause. Magdalena and her team are one of those few. Did an extremely commendable job with a very complicated matter, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

I, Quintin Aguilar, am the former client of Magdalena Chattopadhya and Magdalena Law Group. I am very satisfied with their services. Magdalena resolved the case without the emotional process of having to go to trial. I was very happy with the results. From the beginning, I was hoping for the exact outcome that Magdalena and I were able to accomplish together. I recommend Magdalena Law Group without hesitation. To me, they offer the best and affordable representation in divorce.

I was referred to Magdalena Law Group, and I couldn’t have been paired with a more experienced and judicious attorney. Magdalena reviewed my file and quickly understood how best to proceed. I trusted her implicitly and retained her in our first meeting. Magdalena worked diligently to represent me, was always responsive, and was a strong defender for me when I was at my lowest. I cannot express how confident I was in her and in her group’s services. I highly recommend Magdalena Law Group.

This attorney and her law firm dragged my custody case on unnecessarily and created more mess for me and created a hostile relationship with my son and my son's father. They cost me close to $20,000 without accomplishing anything then abruptly said they no longer wanted to represent me when I did not feel they were going in the right direction. Very inexperienced and unethical law firm.

Magdalena took over after another lawyer totally screwed up my divorce/spousal support/property division case. Not only did she fix the paperwork mess, but also found the solution to get money out of my ex without prolonging the procedures and charging an arm and a leg for it. She is very responsive and gets straight to the point, which I personally like. I highly recommend her.
