Mr. Coe’s practice is focused on construction law, commercial litigation, condominium law and general civil litigation.
Since 1987, Mr. Coe has represented individuals, corporations, partnerships and community associations in a wide spectrum of legal matters such as construction contracts and disputes, consumer fraud litigation, business formation and dissolution, creditors’ rights, lender liability and many more.
Although Mr. Coe excels at trying cases in court, he is equally skilled at preparing and counseling clients to avoid litigation altogether. In both scenarios, he isolates legal proceedings from the business and personal affairs of those involved so they can conduct business while he addresses legal issues.

He also is a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America.

He co-authored “Expert Use in Claims of Construction Defects and Code Violations,” and authored “In Re: Lemon Law” for Delaware Valley Counselor.
