Great Attorney

Vijay Dinakar literally saved my life with his legal work. I was in a very desperate situation when I was arrested for felony domestic violence. My wife then put in a domestic violence case and filed divorce in India. She accused me of horrible things and was trying to blackmail me and my family aski...ng for huge amounts of money. Vijay very calmly handled the case in a very smart way. I will not go into details but Vijay made my wife make a mistake and the case was dismissed. Because of what Vijay did in criminal court here, the case in India is going very well. Hire this attorney!

Petty Theft Resolved

I hired Vijay few months back for my petty theft case, He was very helpful. At the first meeting he gave insight of all the possible outcomes. He was very patient while explaining all my silly questions. As promised he was able to get me a diversion program after talking to DA. Now my case is dismiss...ed and case was not filed by DA. It was the best possible outcome for my case considering my Immigration status. I would highly recommend anyone to Vijay . Thank you Vijay. God bless you.

Professional, responsible and highly recommended!

A battle really fought through trust, compassion, persistent efforts and no regrets. Vijay is my savior during an unexpected trouble that shook me completely. His knowledgeable explanation of each step in handling the case, the scenarios and possible outcomes were really helpful for a person who knew... nothing about consequences of careless mistakes in law. Vijay has tremendous experience in criminal law and an aggressive lawyer, along with impressive communication skills and the attitude to help clients. More importantly, he really cares about his clients. He responds to emails, messages and calls promptly and professionally. Beyond his profession, he is a good person. He is a go-to attorney who will do his very best to take care of his clients. People tend to get in trouble due to carelessness and absentmindedness at times -Vijay is someone who will completely analyse the situation, provide a realistic answer for all questions, trust the client's situation and help accordingly. He is very intelligent, affordable and zealous. He had thoroughly helped me since the first day I met him until I was relieved off the case. His patience and consistent efforts to prove not guilty is a priceless quality any lawyer could hold. He is the best criminal attorney I have known.! Vijay is a valuable person who can make positive differences in others lives beyond his profession.

Great Domestic Violence Attorney

Vijay Dinakar is an excellent attorney who offers very personalized and compassionate representation. I hired Vijay Dinakar to handle a domestic violence case I was charged with. I was married to my now ex-wife and had one small child. I had been talking about getting a divorce with my wife for... sometime because the marriage was not working out. My wife didn't work and had some personal problems. I ran a business mostly from home so I suggested to her that I stay in the house and take care of the child and I would pay for a rental for her and she could see the child every other weekend. My wife seemed to be going along with this but she then called police and said I beat her. She had somehow hit herself causing injuries and to my shock, the police everything she said. I was arrested and had to bail myself out of jail. After talking to different lawyers I decided to hire Vijay Dinakar. I hired Vijay Dinakar because I was comfortable in how expert he was and I was satisfied that he would personally handle every part of my case. After a few months with only supervised visits with my child, it became clear that I would have to go to trial to keep a clean record. I was able to stay confident because Vijay was confident throughout this whole ordeal. He delivered big time as I was able to get a not-guilty after a jury trial. If you have a need for a skilled criminal attorney, I highly recommend Vijay Dinakar.

Attorney Vijay Dinakar Saved My Life!

Words can not describe how fortunate I am to have found Vijay Dinakar to take up my case. Vijay literally saved my life and my future. I came to the US from India several years back on H1B visa after graduating with masters degree from high ranking university. A couple years back I got married... in India. Things were good but shortly we began constant arguing. She wanted to go home and began talking to relatives on how to do this. Once after we argued she called 911 and lied and said I hit and choked her and hit her many times before. I told the truth but the police arrested me and charged me with felony domestic violence. I later found she had consulted domestic violence shelter on what to say to try to get U Visa. After paying bail bonds I frankly had no idea what to do. I called few attorneys and hired a very famous attorney. In meantime my wife had flown back to India and filed dowry case against me. I tried to explain this background to my attorney but he did not care to hear. I frankly did not feel comfortable explaining the Indian issues in the case. In fact, I had great problems talking to him directly and only reached his assistants. This case dragged on for months and attorney wanted me to take deal which would deport me or he wanted more money to go to trial. Finally I found Vijay who agreed to take up the case. He understood exactly what had happened and said he had other cases just like this. He is born in the US but understands the Indian issues perfectly well. He personally interviewed many witnesses and took time to have Indian court documents translated. He consulted with my attorney in India that was taking care of dowry and marriage cases. He was expert in every device in the law and really fought to prove this case. I told Vijay that I could not take any deals so he went for the dismissal. He had investigator take statement from my wife which was contradictory. Finally we went to trial. On day of trial, the prosecutor decided to dismiss for insufficient evidence! I am now filing petition for factual innocence with Vijay to fully clear my name. Vijay is outstanding attorney who understands the concerns of immigrants like me. Highly recommended.
