Draft:Attorney Richard Coad

For twenty years, Richard Coad has been widely recognized as a leading criminal defense attorney in Madison, Wisconsin. He built Coad Law Office on a reputation for getting exceptional results in difficult cases in state and federal court. The results follow from a stubborn insistence on getting the best out of difficult situations for his clients. His practice has carried him to federal courts throughout the Midwest, and he is one of the few attorneys in Wisconsin to have argued a case in the United States Supreme Court (Logan v. United States, 552 U.S. 23 (2007)).

The quality and depth of Rick’s experience is exceptional. Prior to starting Coad Law Office in 2011, Rick worked at a highly regarded medium-sized general practice firm in Madison and was also a shareholder in one of Wisconsin’s largest law firms. He brings that same big law firm expertise to deliver results for his clients at a reasonable fee.

In recognition of the quality of his work, Rick was named as a Super Lawyer in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2023. That honor goes to only the top 5 percent of lawyers in Wisconsin. And he was named as a Super Lawyers Rising Star seven times before that. That ranked him in the top 2.5% of lawyers under the age of 40 in Wisconsin.
