About the Office
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California is headquartered in Sacramento.

The Fresno office serves the counties of Calaveras, Tuolumne, Stanislaus, Mariposa, Merced, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Inyo. The Bakersfield office serves Kern County and the surrounding areas within the southern part of the Eastern District of California.
Fresno is one of the fastest growing cities in California, due in part to its central location to major tourist areas in California.

This area also includes national treasures such as Yosemite National Park and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks.
