  • 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.

    “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.”

  • I felt like I could trust her with my case, if I had questions or concerns her and her assistant would respond back right away.

    “I loved What Magdalena did for me, she was really doing her job to get me what I wanted. She knows her stuff, you can tell she is very passionate at what she does. I felt like I could trust her with my case, if I had questions or concerns her and her assistant would respond back right away. They kept me well informed about my case and what can happen in court. She really was very helpful....thank you”

  • They were able to quickly understand my case (even though I have not spoken to her in over a year) and get everything ready for court, which ended up in my complete favor.

    “Hired attorney I tried to get through my custody case alone, I filed out all the paper work and did my own research for years. in the end, all of the information I was able to read on the internet seemed to be wrong and what worked for others did not work for me. I obviously wasn't getting anywhere and was not able to obtain any additional time with my daughter, even thought it was in her best interest. I received a free consultation from Magdalena where she was able to clarify what the court would be looking for, provided every step I would need to take, and paved the way to certain strategies she thought would beneficial to my specific case. I did not hire the Magdalena Law Group until the very last minute because I realized I was walking into a war zone without any equipment. They were able to quickly understand my case (even though I have not spoken to her in over a year) and get everything ready for court, which ended up in my complete favor. The Magdalena Law Group is definitely in it to win it, they are a must have. I would recommend everyone I know to at least get a free consultation.”

  • Towards the end changes in my life threw my case a few curve balls but she stayed patient with me and won my case.

    “I worked with Magdalena for a little over a year and through everything shes been great. Towards the end changes in my life threw my case a few curve balls but she stayed patient with me and won my case. I'm very happy with all the hard work she's done.”

  • It was very helpful to me knowing she is seeing me not as one more case in her carrier, but a person who is dealing with a complicated problem.

    “Attorney Chattopadhya offers not only a professional advice, but also a simple empathy. It was very helpful to me knowing she is seeing me not as one more case in her carrier, but a person who is dealing with a complicated problem. I would highly recommend her services.”

  • They're always on top of it and have your back!

    “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.”

  • She was direct with me when I was emotional and it enabled me to digest the situation I was facing with clarity.

    “I was naïve in my divorce proceedings, --I had not retained any counsel and believed my husband to be rational. The day I was sent a letter from his attorney, I completely unraveled and had to defend myself within a system I had no experience with. 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. She was direct with me when I was emotional and it enabled me to digest the situation I was facing with clarity. I trusted her implicitly and retained her in our first meeting. Every divorce situation is unique and your well-meaning friends and family, while supportive, cannot represent you in court. 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 truly feel the planets were aligned when I met her. I highly recommend Magdalena Law Group to those seeking divorce counsel.”

  • Brilliant, compassionate and highly efficient

    “Magdalena is absolutely brilliant, compassionate and highly efficient. She is a brilliant strategist and will help you navigate this quagmire quickly and ethically. If she or her partners have the bandwidth to take your case don’t even look elsewhere! You don’t want her as your opposing counsel”

  • 10/10 would recommend.

    “I had hired Magdalena after I realized that my spouse had filed multiple cases in the Unites States and other country. All of these cases were open, and I had a really hard time understanding each one meant and navigating them all simultaneously. It was a tough few months for me. Magdalena not only coordinated with me, she also worked with my attorneys offshore and the plethora of attorneys that my spouse had hired. She took a very neat, timely and methodical approach. Ultimately the court ruled in my favor. 10/10 would recommend.”

    Former Client

  • She even understands what particular judges are looking for and their quirks and pet peeves involving cases.

    “If you truly care about the well being of your child and need a real honest assessment this is the attorney. She is worth every penny! Honest and straight forward and has the utmost integrity in this field. I was blinded about my custody issues before consultation. Magdalena is a REAL person who is SHARP and WITTY!!!! And puts children's BEST INTEREST first. She proved her integrity to me during our very lengthy consultation. She heard my whole story which involved my deployment to Afghanistan and my desperate desire to be with my children. She LISTENS, paraphrases, and ensures you understand all perspectives on your case. She is humorous and serious and is very familiar with the system and the characters involved. She even understands what particular judges are looking for and their quirks and pet peeves involving cases. This attorney is the real deal. I never write reviews but what she did for me today in only a consultation enlightened me and changed my entire approach to my custody case. Trust me, she is worth it. Very perceptive. She went the extra length from meeting with me to breaking the law down for me. With all the unethical attorneys out there Magdalena easily proves she is NOT one of them. I will never forget this life changing close to 3 hour consultation. Thank God she maintains a standard in a field which dedicates itself to maintaining functioning families! Life changing for me. I am thankful for her advice. Again, worth every penny. I can't stop raving!!!!”

    “Don't try and go it alone, you need an attorney and you can trust Magdalena!!!!! I won my divorce after my ex blind-sided me with divorce papers out of the blue. The ex tried to take the child and the property and leave me with all our marital debts. Magdalena kicked her boot in court and had the opposition lawyer scared from the word go.

  • I am pleasantly surprised that Magdalena finalized my divorce so fast.

    “I am very happy with the services of Magdalena Law Group. I just got my divorce judgment and feel like some great weight has lifted off my shoulders. I am pleasantly surprised that Magdalena finalized my divorce so fast. I was self-represented for many years, stressed, and could not get my court case moving through the system. Now I am done, the house is sold, and I am ready to get my fresh start in life. Attorneys at Magdalena Law Group were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and reasonably-priced. I recommend them to anyone who needs assistance with their divorce and property division.”

  • Magdalena and her group worked longs hours on my case. She showed how much she cared about her clients.

    “I am so glad that I hired Magdalena. I have been paying lawyers for the last 8 years and they did nothing for me. I lost all hope of getting my son, but it all changed after I met Magdalena. She was professional, passionate, knowledgeable. She kept me informed on every detail of my case. Magdalena and her group worked longs hours on my case. She showed how much she cared about her clients. I never dreamed of getting my son, but it happened. I can't thank enough Magdalena and her group. I will always be grateful to everyone that assisted her.”
