In 1991, after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a degree in political science, Bradley realized that 1) he couldn’t afford to start his own country and 2) Dean Smith’s incoming 1990 freshman class looked to be one of the best classes ever assembled in college basketball, so he decided to attend the UNC School of Law. Three years and one national championship later, he graduated and began working as a trial lawyer for Anderson, Cox and Ennis and continued there when it became Anderson, Daniel and Coxe.

In 2005, Bradley started Hodges & Coxe P.C., with friend and fellow graduate Wes Hodges. In July 2024, Bradley has opened his new firm, Law Office of Bradley Coxe. Bradley has represented both plaintiffs and defendants with all types of civil litigation, including personal injury, medical malpractice, construction disputes, employment and business disputes, and other contract disputes.
