I was recently represented by Bill Dinkin in a challenging legal matter and my experience was extraordinary. From the start, Bill's unmatched professionalism and expertise in handling my case were evident. Despite legal complexities and delays, particularly due to my health issues, Bill handled everything with kindness, compassion, and unwavering commitment. I previously witnessed his skills in another case, confirming his capabilities. Bill blends brilliance and tenacity, effectively delivering smooth, persuasive arguments. Having worked with many attorneys, Bill stands out as one of Virginia's best. Throughout, his meticulous attention to detail and strategic insight brought me peace and confidence. On my hearing day, justice prevailed, and I was exonerated. Regardless of the winning outcome, I am grateful for his exceptional representation. Bill's dedication and genuine care for clients are rare qualities. Bill is a true anomaly in the field– it was an honor to have him by my side.

I truly appreciated the patience and experience Mr. Dinkin brought to my case. It was a very unique case that was not an easy one to fight. However, I was fully confident in Mr. Dinkin, and I was very comfortable placing my life and the lives of my entire family in his hands. I will always be grateful to Mr. Dinkin and will always owe a great debt to him for seeing my case through. He listened to my concerns, and I felt like he took my case personally. I will always recommend Mr. Dinkin to fight for what is right even when the situation seems weary. You are truly a blessing to me, and I pray for your continued success always!

  I cannot praise Attorney William Dinkin highly enough for the unprecedented legal representation he provided where I had the privilege of seeing first hand what makes him exceptional and in his own league that should be considered as new standards of practice for new and seasoned attorneys.  Mr. Dinkin work is unique in his way of not only combining legal expertise, dedication, and strategic approach which were exceptional; his ability to empathize with his clients understanding the difficulties they’re going through.    Throughout the entire experience, Mr. Dinkin demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a thorough knowledge of the legal system and through a unique ability to translate client concerns to legal advice and vice-versa, he maintained an exceptional communication not only of the case status but proper expectations.    Closing in, a successful outcome was achieved thanks to the expertise and knowledge of the law. g

There are few people in this worlkd that are truely good people with good intentions. Unfortunately I did not win y case, but Mr. Dinkin has continued to go above to help and support me through this trying time. Mr. Dinkin always answered the phone with a ompasionate ear. I never had difficuly getting in contact or reaching him. His knoweldge base is other worldly. Mr. Dinkin has contined to help and support me even after my trial and conviction. Mr. Dinkin represented me to the Board of Counseling assisting in re-obtaining my license pro bono. There are not enough positive thinhgs I can say about this good man. I would feel safe and comfortable leaving my children with him knowing they would be well taken care of. Mr. Dinkin is 1 of 5 people in this world i can say I truely trust. Just a wonderful human being.

Working with Mr. Dinkin was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Mr. Dinkin was highly recommended, retained and superseded expectations. With no hope as I sat in jail for weeks on criminal charges (Domestic Violence) unable to get a bond hearing. Mr. Dinkin visited me and it was apparent his focus (4:15PM on a Friday) was only on getting to know me, the jails conditions, my story and a bond hearing to start. He was thorough, informative, established immediate trust through his professional, compassionate and genuine demeanor. He got me a bond hearing, Won that. Worked with Magistrates, Judges and Prosecutors immediately; He negotiated and 5 of 6 charges were dropped, the lone Felony charge was dropped to a Misdemeanor, ALL of this prior to my court date. His experience and personality earned respect/leverage from prosecutors as well as judges. He is everything you pray for in an attorney and more. I faced 12 mths in jail. All suspended. I'm forever grateful for his services!

I needed someone/a lawyer to go with me to a very important meeting in Virginia and someone recommended Bill. I made contact with him immediately and explained the circumstances of the meeting for which I needed the presence of a lawyer. After carefully listening to me, we scheduled to meet in his office prior to the meeting, so that I could share more of the details with him. That was a couple of years ago. I could not have been more pleased with my choice of Bill to be my “protector” at that meeting and thereafter. The results were and have been quite satisfactory. And Bill and I have remained in touch since. Great guy. Very relatable at so many levels. Compassionate. Bill, should you read this review: THANKS FOR HAVING BEEN AT MY CORNER!! Wishing you continued success.
