My desire to practice law began after I graduated from UC Berkeley. While traveling in Europe after graduating, I discovered an innate desire to help less fortunate people. The experiences overseas helped me focus my career on social goals and leveling the playing field for those who needed someone to fight for their rights. I have fulfilled that vision by volunteering at legal clinics throughout the bay area early in my career.
During law school, I worked full time at law firms. It was through this work experience that I gained knowledge in a variety of practice areas. Due to my exposure in many areas of law, I was able to open my own practice immediately after obtaining my California state bar license. Now, I litigate cases in Family Law, Criminal Law and Civil Law.
The delicate balance of giving my time to the community and building a strong clientele base has proven to those who use my services that whether or not there is a financial incentive in my work, the quality is never compromised. I am proud to have provided zealous representation across all economic classes and look forward to helping you resolve your legal issues.

Best Trial Lawyer
Gaurav handled my family law matter in 2023. He supported me through a very tough time and guided me in the right direction. I have relied on him for other legal matters since as well. He fights fair but hard. Best attorney to have in your corner during a contentious case.

I cannot recommend Gaurav enough. I think he must be one of the finest attorneys in the world!
Attorney Gaurav Bali was recommended to me by one of his former law school classmates for my family law case. His classmate said to me, “I know the best attorney for your case, I have worked with him and I know he is great at resolving complicated disputes and cases.” At the time I received this reco...

He didn't let me down one bit and I am finally divorced!!
I hired Mr. Bali for my DV and family law case. He litigated every issue, was well prepared, and helped me defeat the false allegations made by my former spouse.

A lawyer who is both professional and a pleasure to work with.
I have worked with Gaurav Bali, Attorney at Law, on two separate cases and have been very pleased with his professionalism, his accurate explanations of the laws that applied to these cases, his clear suggestions on how best to move forward for the best outcome and his success in getting expected out...
"Mr. Bali clearly cares deeply about his clients and making sure they get the best representation possible!"
