Service Area

A Northern California practice, on site and in your courthouse

Coe & Company works from Lodi across the Central Valley, the Sacramento region, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Most sites in that footprint are within a two-hour drive — which means inspections get scheduled around your calendar, not around an airline's.

01 / Where We Work

Three regions, one drive time

A forensic engagement is rarely one visit. It is an initial inspection, a destructive-testing day, a re-inspection after the other side's expert has been through, and then deposition and trial. Distance compounds across every one of them.

Sacramento & the Central Valley

The firm's home ground. Same-day site access across San Joaquin, Sacramento, and Stanislaus counties, and a standing familiarity with the local building departments and their inspection records.

San Francisco Bay Area

Ninety minutes from the office across the Delta, and the region behind much of the firm's largest project record — airports, ports, cathedrals, and high-rise residential.
