Gopal Krishan, Esq.
Gopal Krishan is a California-licensed attorney with over 15 years of active practice in the state. He is a member in good standing of the California State Bar and has built his practice around Family Law, Immigration, Estate Planning, Criminal Defense, and Business Law - serving clients throughout the Bay Area and across California.
In addition to his California license, Gopal is also licensed to practice law in India, where he has been admitted since 2003. This dual licensure is a significant advantage for clients with legal matters that cross borders - whether it is an Indian marriage dispute, NRI estate planning, cross-border property, or immigration matters involving family members in India. Clients get one attorney who can handle both sides, without the cost and confusion of coordinating between two separate firms.
Gopal has clients across the United States and around the world. His immigration and family law practice regularly serves individuals and families who are not physically located in the U.S. - he is fully equipped to represent and advise clients wherever they are.
He believes in straight answers, transparent fees, and practical solutions built around the client's actual situation - not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Alameda County District Attorney Race - June 2026
In 2026, Gopal Krishan ran for Alameda County District Attorney in a three-way race against incumbent DA Ursula Jones Dickson - who had been appointed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors following the 2024 recall of Pamela Price - and former DA Pamela Price herself, who was attempting to reclaim the seat she had been recalled from.
Running as a political outsider and first-time candidate, Gopal positioned himself as the independent voice the office needed - one not tied to the existing power structure on either side. His platform focused on protecting immigrant communities from unlawful ICE enforcement, aggressively prosecuting hate crimes and organized crime, and overhauling a DA's office he argued had suffered from years of institutional dysfunction regardless of who was in charge.
The race received widespread media coverage from Berkeleyside, KQED, Diya TV, The Oaklandside, CBS San Francisco, KTVU, and Oakland Voices. Gopal participated in multiple candidate debates including a high-profile forum at CSU East Bay and a debate co-hosted by Berkeleyside and The Oaklandside at Oakstop in Oakland.

What Makes Allied Legal Different
No Surprise Later
We believe in complete transparency. You know exactly what your legal matter will cost before you commit - no hidden fees, no runaway hourly bills.
Educated Consent
We explain every option, every risk, and every possible outcome before you make any decision. You are always in control of your own case.
Out of the Box Thinking
Every case is unique. We look for creative, practical solutions that fit your specific situation - not cookie-cutter answers designed for someone else's problem.
Holistic Strategy
Legal issues do not exist in isolation. We evaluate how your family law case interacts with immigration, how a criminal charge affects your business, and plan accordingly.
Affordable Access
Flat fee options, flexible payment plans with no credit check, and low retainers make quality legal representation accessible to everyone - not just those who can afford it.
Community Roots
Hindi-speaking staff, deep Bay Area community ties, and a 2026 DA candidacy that put immigrant rights at the center of public safety conversation in Alameda County.
