Overall good experience

My experience with Vijay's legal services was overall a positive one, despite some initial challenges. When I found myself in a difficult situation due to a false accusation, Vijay stepped up and provided valuable guidance and support. He spent almost an hour discussing the strategy for my case, dem...onstrating his expertise and commitment to ensuring the best possible outcome. He also promised to assist with immigration-related matters, such as helping to close my arrest record, which was a significant concern given my H1B visa status. Fortunately, the District Attorney decided not to file charges, which was a huge relief. This positive outcome was largely due to Vijay's legal expertise and the effective strategy he implemented. I will acknowledge that Vijay's communication about the progress of the case could have been more consistent. It was sometimes necessary for me to follow up with him regularly, and there were instances where I had to wait for his responses, even through email. This aspect of the experience could have been improved. After the case was not filed, I tried to work with Vijay to get my arrest record closed, as he had promised. While there were some initial challenges in getting a timely response from him, he eventually addressed the issue and helped me resolve the matter.

Saved me in my criminal case

Vijay Dinakar saved me from serious criminal charges. I was facing domestic violence and child abuse cases and Vijay was God sent. He knows the law inside out. He used good strategy to dismiss my cases.

Outstanding Attorney, Highly recommended !!!!

I had 2 felonies charges regarding insurance fraud claim. My Naturalization(citizenship) petition was on hold due to felonies. I met Vijay regarding my case. His first free initial consultant is very transparent. So I hired him. He understands the important of immigration consequence with criminal ch...arges & impact on professional career. Vijay was so patient enough; he took multiple court dates to resolve case in my favor. He communicates very clearly. He also wrote multiple letters to submit my status to keep alive my naturalization petition in USCIS. Finally, my 2 felonies charges dismissed & converted into Infraction charge. My naturalization petition approved & got citizenship certificate. He is very responsive & also available to discuss during late evening & weekend. He is very friendly, professional & detail orientated. I would highly recommend him for criminal case.

Vijay is a very experienced and professional lawyer.

Vijay is a very experienced and professional lawyer. I was accused of DV. I had both criminal and family law DV accusations against me. I wanted to hire an experienced trial lawyer who is well versed in both criminal and family law matter. I met several attorneys and initially hired another attorney ...for a short period in the beginning of the case which did a lot of damage to my case. I later met Vijay and explained him my situation. He immediately understood my case and took over both criminal and family cases and won both. I am so relieved my DV cases are dismissed and I still have my job.

Honest hard work! Would absolutely recommend!

My significant other and I got into a tricky situation with a DV charge. I had never been in this situation before so the feeling of anxiety was very high. I did a couple of researching and stumbled across Vijay and read the astounding reviews he that has. I decided to take a chance and emailed him. ...He responded back shortly after with an email and an in-depth phone consultation. I hired him as my lawyer almost immediately because something about him was very genuine in comparison to the other lawyers we've come across. Time was of the essence and Vijay did not take any of it for granted. He was able to get it my case dismissed relatively quickly and was kind enough to tell me the good news "over the phone rather than through email or text" (per his words). He's respectful, intelligent, and very experienced. He definitely knows what he's doing. Just trust in him and you'll get results! Thank you Vijay for essentially changing my life for the better. I highly HIGHLY recommend him.
