Bradford H. Coates is the founder and principal attorney of Coates Law Office in Nashua, New Hampshire whose practice focuses on personal injury law. Coates represents people injured in motor-vehicle crashes, premises incidents, dog bites, and other negligence matters. The practice includes car, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, slip-and-fall claims, dog bites, premises liability, and other personal injury cases. Coates helps injured individuals and families investigate fault, document damages, negotiate with insurers, and prepare claims for litigation when necessary.

Coates earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2008 and a J.D. from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2016. His legal education was followed by admission in New Hampshire and later Massachusetts and provided the foundation for trial and evidence work. This background supports careful legal analysis, clear communication, and practical judgment in matters involving personal injury law.

Coates has experience with personal injury litigation involving serious bodily injuries, vehicle crashes, premises incidents, burns, and dog bites, together with earlier experience as a criminal prosecutor. As a prosecutor, he worked with police evidence and trained officers on breath, blood, and field-sobriety procedures before moving into plaintiff-side injury practice. Across these matters, the work requires careful preparation and attention to the legal, factual, and practical issues that affect the client’s position.

Bradford H. Coates uses a former-prosecutor background to investigate and prepare personal injury cases for negotiation or trial. He founded his Nashua firm and handles client cases directly, with the practice focused on representing injury victims throughout New Hampshire. The practice combines evidence-focused case preparation with direct personal-injury representation. This approach helps clients understand available options, evaluate risk, and move important matters forward with informed legal guidance.
