Gurpal Singh Oppal

Some lawyers practice law. I change lives.

For over two decades, he has been the go-to immigration solicitor for those seeking not just legal representation, but a real chance at a better future. His passion is not just about visas and legal paperwork—It is about people, families and futures that deserve to be built without fear.

Born and raised in the UK, Gurpal understood early on that immigration is more than a legal process—It is an emotional journey. It is the student dreaming of studying in Britain, the family reuniting after years apart, the entrepreneur striving to build a business, the asylum seeker escaping hardship. And for each of them, he fights like it is personal.

My Mission: People First, Always

Gurpal isn’t just another solicitor—he is a force to be reckoned with in UK immigration law. After earning his Law Degree from Kingston University and a Master’s in International Refugee Studies, he became one of the youngest-ever members of the Law Society Immigration Panel.

At Charles Simmons Immigration Solicitors, he quickly made his mark, winning cases others deemed impossible. His ground breaking victory in the MK Stateless Case changed the fate of thousands of Indian families in the UK, creating a path for their legal status. Where others saw roadblocks, Gurpal created solutions.
