Found Not Guilty At Jury Trial

I was arrested for a felony drug possession. The DA offered probation but Vijay Dinakar told me he thought he could win at trial. Mr. Dinakar grilled the officer on the stand. The jury found me Not Guilty on all charges only after 30 minutes. I would definitely recommend this attorney!

Got My Domestic Violence Case Dismissed

I was arrested for a felony DV and criminal threats against my ex and mother of my kids. At the time I was trying to get full custody of my kids so my ex called the police and lied. The cop believed her because of my prior history. I went to court and the public defender didn't try to get my bail ...lower and instead tried to get me to plead to a strike and two years in prison. She said it was a good deal. I told her I was innocent and my ex was making it up and now she was changing her story but she didn't listen. I talked to a couple of attorneys but they were too expensive and said I probably had to do some time for my history. Then I talked to Mr. Dinakar. He said he would get an investigator to talk to my ex and kids and try to get a different story than the lies she told police. This worked like he said and my ex said she lied to the police. Mr. Dinakar gave this information to the DA and after two more court hearings the DA dismissed it. Now I have custody of my kids. I would definitely recommend him. He was affordable and he fights!

Got my case dismissed

I got this lawyer for 2 DUIs I got in 2 different counties. First he got one dismissed then he got the other one reduced to a reckless driving. He always returned my calls and was very down to earth and honest. His fees were much cheaper than other lawyers I talked to.

Stay away

Atrocious experience, this guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. Stay away if you want peace of mind.

Absolutely horrible

Wish i've never dealt with this guy. Very unresponsive and doesn't empathize with your situation. He seems aloof most of the time.
