Northern California, as defined by Best Lawyers^®, is composed of six metro areas: Fresno, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Rosa. For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions to help collect as much feedback and data as possible.
