Brad Coates is a lifelong New Hampshire resident and is proud to call the Live Free or Die state his home. Brad has extensive experience representing people who have suffered catastrophic injuries. He is a relentless and zealous advocate for his clients.
Brad believes in open and candid communication with his clients so they always know where they stand. His clients have said that they would “recommend Brad 10/10 times,” that he was “straightforward and honest,” and that “it was clear that Brad and his team genuinely cared about our situation.”
Background & Experience
Brad earned his J.D. from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2016 after receiving his B.A. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2008. He was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar in 2016 and later to the Massachusetts Bar in 2019.
Before focusing his practice on personal injury cases, Brad worked as a criminal prosecutor in New Hampshire. That background gave him experience investigating cases, evaluating evidence, working with witnesses, and preparing matters for court.
Today, he brings that litigation experience to cases involving car crashes, truck accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, and other serious injuries.
As a lifelong New Hampshire resident practicing from Nashua, Brad represents injured people across the state. His work in car accident cases often involves disputes over fault, medical evidence, insurance coverage, and the long-term effect an injury has on a client’s life.
Why I Focus on Car Accident Cases
I focus on car accidents and personal injury cases because an injury claim is about much more than paperwork between two insurance companies. My clients are often dealing with medical treatment, time away from work, and uncertainty about what comes next. They need someone who will explain where their case stands and give them a direct answer, even when the answer isn’t simple.
That’s why open communication is such an important part of how I practice. I want my clients to understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what the evidence means for their case.
No two car accident claims are exactly alike, even when the injuries look similar. I take the time to understand the person behind the claim and build the case around what actually happened to them.
I also believe serious injury cases should be prepared with litigation in mind. Insurance companies can dispute how a crash happened, whether treatment was necessary, or how an injury will affect someone in the future. Careful preparation gives us the evidence we need to answer those arguments and puts the client in a stronger position, whether the case resolves through negotiation or proceeds toward trial.
