Coad Law Office, S.C.

Attorney Rick Coad is based in Madison, S.C. and practices two different areas of law: criminal defense and estate planning. He will take the time to listen to your story and your concerns. Then, he will work with you to create a plan that protects your estate and leaves it for your loved ones in the best way possible. Rick regularly works in Wisconsin state and federal courts. He has even argued an appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court, which only a few Wisconsin attorneys have ever done. Rick has been recognized as a Super Lawyer eleven times, which only a tiny percentage of attorneys in Wisconsin can say. The facts of these cases can be very different. And for most of our clients, it’s a situation that they never imagined they would be in. We have defended cases where the complaining witness says she was too intoxicated to consent. In other situations, a complaining witness may say she agreed to certain sexual activities, but then did not agree to other sexual activities. Often, no one else saw what happened. And a case comes down to “he said/she said” and very little physical evidence. It is very scary to be accused of such a crime. Rick Coad knows how to investigate these cases, what experts to use to help his clients, what motions to file, and how to defend them at trial. However, many cases can be handled in a way that avoids a trial while obtaining a very good result for the client. Even in the most difficult cases, a defense lawyer can sometimes make a big difference and prevent the worst things from happening.
