My name is Vijay Dinakar and I am a Bay Area trial attorney with over a decade of experience having handled everything from DUIs to Murder cases and everything in between. I have dedicated my life to representing the criminally accused and take a proactive approach to representing my clients. I was born and raised in New York and from an early age, I wanted to be a trial attorney.
I was inspired by the historical examples of lawyer heroes of mine like Clarence Darrow, Mahatma Gandhi, John Adams, and Barry Scheck and I wanted to be lawyer not to defend powerful entities like the government or large corporations but to represent individuals against a powerful and overweening government. I attended Santa Clara University School of Law and while there worked at the Innocence Project where I helped to free an innocent man serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit.
After law school, I worked for the Public Defender's Office where I represented thousands of people accused of committing criminal offenses.

Domestic violence in California involves any harmful or offensive touching of a spouse, intimate partner, or co-habitant.
Any arrest for a domestic violence related offense is a very serious crime and should not be taken lightly.
An arrest can lead to jail time and or loss of employment.
If you are an immigrant, the consequences could be even more severe, leading to mandatory deportation if your case is not handled properly.
Most domestic violence reports to police obligate a "mandatory arrest" where police are compelled by law enforcement protocol to initiate an arrest of one of the two domestic partners regardless of the severity of the injury or whether the alleged victim wishes for an arrest or prosecution to occur.

In general, a California crime allegation can be classified either as a misdemeanor or a felony.
This section deals with the most serious felony offenses where persons accused of these allegations face extensive potential jail or prison time.
Serious offenses like this include but are not limited to: aggravated child abuse, sex offenses, gang allegations, 3 strike offenses, and attempted and actual murder.
Obviously there are many other offenses that also fit within this category of serious felonies but however serious the criminal allegation, you need to understand that these are just allegations and under the U.S. Constitution, the accused is absolutely presumed innocent and the government has the very difficult (and often insurmountable) task of proving each and every element of the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the highest standard of proof in the history of the world.

When someone is injured as a result of someone's negligent or intentional act or omission, he or she can sue for damages under a personal injury cause of action.
Often this is seen when a motorist or pedestrian is injured following the negligent actions of another driver.
I have handled dozens of personal injury cases involving motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
If you are injured because of the negligent actions of another person or business, you should contact an attorney immediately.
You should not contact the other party or speak to an insurance company representative.
