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.

Regained my life because of Vijay!

I don't know how to say thanks to Vijay. Before I came to him I had hired two other attorneys, and trust me those behaved like the gang mans. Nice at the beginning to get the money and stated playing with the matter to see it gets worse so that they can milk you more (just like the drug dealers d...oes). Vijay listened my situation very carefully as I never had any complaints in the past and he looked at the setups used in my case. He then exposed them to DA's office strongly and got the matter dismissed. It was scary with such thing that was fabricated to me by my spouse after filed for a divorce just to take away the kids from me and more. Vijay showed full integrity of his words and actions. Even though he did not know the outcome but he did everything based my suggestions to him including speaking to potential sources that may speak on my behalf as witnesses. He has great relations to his private investigator and both of them worked with me with full trust, understanding and as a friend like relationship. Even though I did not know the outcome but was very comfortable as he did work based on what I knew will make the case dismissed and that has happened. I strongly suggest you should try Vijay if you have already troubled by other attorneys like my case or in fact he better be your first attorney in any case. You can only compare him with others only if you had hired others before.
