With decades of legal experience and a rare perspective from both sides of the courtroom, Lynne Coates provides thoughtful, strategic representation for individuals navigating serious injury cases in San Jose and across Northern California.
Prior to joining Habbas & Associates, Lynne spent several years handling personal injury claims for the insurance defense industry. She dealt with cases both small and large. In 2015, Lynne herself became a plaintiff in a lawsuit. Through this experience, she gained a deeper understanding of how it personally feels to be on the receiving end of the short stick, so to speak, and how it can affect one’s life.
She also learned the importance of hiring someone to represent you, and of trusting them to protect your rights and handle your interests. So, yes, Lynne understands what it’s like to be in your shoes. Lynne wants her clients to feel confident that she will do her very best to represent them, give them every opportunity to discuss their case, provide their input, and feel confident in having chosen Habbas & Associates to navigate the process.
