I hired Vijay during the most trying period of my life. I am a woman who was abused by my ex-husband for many years. I usually took his abuse because of my background and because I thought it would stop. Then one day I defended myself and injured him. He called police and I was arrested. I first hire...d a lawyer who tried to get me to plead guilty but this would mean that I would lose custody of my child. I finally met Vijay who said we would have a self defense case at trial. He hired an expert to testify about the past abuse and prepared thoroughly for trial. He was great at trial and I won! Eventually I got primary custody of my child. Vijay really helped me when I was so desperate. He is very calm in person but at the trial he was very outspoken and really fought so hard for me. He questioned my husband very thoroughly. I am very grateful. If you have a case like this, you should consult Vijay. He also helped me later on in writing a letter to a business for no charge. Very ethical and was affordable.

I have had a chance of interacting and working with Vijay for my misdimeanour case. He provided his sincere advices and showed concerns for me and my family. He is an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney who will fight for your best interest. He made sure to be available for me and return calls and... messages, sometimes even in odd hours. I was able to come out of the legal issues with the best possible outcome, which seemed so impossible in the beginning. I would recommend Vijay to anyone who is seeking an aggressive defense in their criminal case.

I worked with Vijay Dinakar for PC 484/485 petty theft case in Santa Clara County. This is my first misdemeanor and I am extremely shameful and naturally petrified. When I told my husband about this he told me to find a lawyer and take it as a lesson and move forward in life. I just googled and found... Vijay and one another high profile criminal lawyer in palo alto area. Met both of them...But immediately after meeting Vijay I wanted to go with him because of the details he cared to discuss with me, he was not judgmental, he cared to listen to my fears and concerns answered very patiently and explained something no other lawyer mentioned before.... Since I have a graduate degree and good job, he said he would personally discuss with DA of Santa Clara County presenting my resume and stating this will ruin my career and request the DA to give me a diversion program. Considering that I am a 30year old and the price of my theft is $260 I did not think this will be an option. Just like Vijay mentioned he was able to convince the DA to enroll me in the diversion program. I just finished my Shoplifting course and completed my 16 hour community service and have my case closed. I would recommend Vijay to anyone who is trouble and need a second chance to move forward in their life. He is very informative, talented, patient and very very responsive. I would text him constantly for all the silly questions and he promptly replied very patiently. Most important of all cost of hiring him is much cheaper than other attorneys for this work. I am so glad I was able to work with him and even though this incident leaves a bad memory in my life I am so glad I got a second chance and will make a better use of it. Thank you Vijay!

Working with Vijay Dinakar was incredibly easy and straight forward. From my very first conversation with him, it was apparent he would take care of me and handle my case in an ethical manner with my best interest in mind. I am more than happy with my outcome and would undoubtedly refer him to anyone... seeking a criminal defense attorney!
