Strong Defense.
Clear Strategy. Real Results.
Facing criminal charges is one of the most serious situations you can encounter. Attorney Gopal Krishan provides focused, selective criminal defense representation - taking only the cases where he can make a real difference.
We Are Selective. We Are Strategic. We Are Committed.
We do not take a high-volume approach to criminal defense. We carefully review every matter before accepting representation - because every case deserves the right level of attention, strategy, and commitment.

- The seriousness and complexity of the charges

- Immigration consequences of any conviction

Misdemeanors are less serious offenses typically punishable by up to one year in county jail. Felonies carry heavier penalties including state prison time. Both can have lasting consequences on employment, housing, and immigration status.
In many cases, yes. Under California Penal Code §1203.4, you may be eligible to have a conviction dismissed if you successfully completed probation. We can evaluate your eligibility and file the petition on your behalf.
