The Firm · Where We Practice
Areas We Serve
A Fresno trial practice for the whole Central Valley — and a statewide California practice in the cases that demand it.
One office. 1265 W. Shaw Ave., Suite 100, Fresno. No branch-office network — and no hand-offs.
Home base: Fresno
The Law Offices of David L. Milligan, APC maintains one office at 1265 W. Shaw Ave., Suite 100, Fresno, California 93711. David L. Milligan is licensed to practice law in California. From the Fresno office, the firm considers suitable Central Valley matters and suitable matters elsewhere in the state.
The Fresno address is the firm’s home base. The proper venue and court, and whether the firm can accept a matter, depend on the facts, governing law, timing, conflicts, work required, and capacity.

Chowchilla-area readers looking for information about the women’s prison there will find it on our CCWF & CIW information page.
Statewide California practices
The firm also considers suitable matters elsewhere in California in these areas. Acceptance remains case-specific and does not imply a track record in every county:
“The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury.”
Chief Justice John Marshall · Marbury v. Madison (1803)
Common Questions
Do I have to come to Fresno to work with the firm?
No. Initial case reviews are handled by phone or video, and most of a case’s work happens by phone, email, and secure document exchange. In-person meetings are arranged when the case calls for them.
Do you take cases outside the Central Valley?
The firm considers suitable matters outside the Central Valley and elsewhere in California, including certain aviation, DMV-hearing, and serious-injury matters. Acceptance depends on venue, facts, timing, conflicts, the work required, and capacity. Statewide licensure and this service-area description do not represent client history or promise acceptance in every county.
Where will my case be filed?
Venue follows the case, not the lawyer — generally where the incident happened or where a defendant resides. For Central Valley cases that usually means the Fresno County Superior Court or a neighboring county’s superior court; claims with federal defendants or federal questions are filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
