Gopal Krishan

Gopal Krishan is a California family law attorney based in Milpitas who represents individuals and families in divorce, child custody, child support, and domestic violence matters. His practice also includes immigration, estate planning, criminal defense, and business law. Licensed in both California and India, he assists people whose family relationships, property interests, or immigration concerns extend across national borders. His clients include families in the Bay Area and individuals living outside the United States.

Gopal received an LL.B., Bachelor of Laws, from the University of Lucknow in 2003. He has been admitted to practice law in India since 2003 and became licensed in California in 2010. His legal background in both jurisdictions supports work on questions that require understanding California legal procedures alongside Indian family and property law. He draws on this cross-border experience when advising families about marital disputes, inheritance, and the legal status of relatives living abroad. His practice also involves the preparation and use of legal documents across those two legal systems.

Gopal handles contested divorces, parenting disputes, paternity matters, and financial issues arising from the end of a marriage. His work includes cases involving Indian marriages, foreign property, retirement assets, and other questions that can complicate family court proceedings. He also assists with family immigration petitions, green cards, naturalization applications, wills, living trusts, and powers of attorney. In cross-border matters, he addresses Indian legal documents and provides opinions on Indian marriage and family law when relevant.

Gopal Krishan combines family law representation with legal experience in two countries. He has worked on disputes that raise both immigration and family law concerns, allowing him to consider how a decision in one area can affect another. His practice emphasizes clear explanations of legal options, the risks associated with different approaches, and practical steps clients can take. This focus is especially useful to clients managing family and property obligations in California and India.
