History
Attorney Bryan J. Nappa was born in Rhode Island and has been an active member of the community in Warwick, Rhode Island for the majority of his life. After graduating from Warwick Veterans High School in 2002, Attorney Nappa went on to obtain a bachelors degree from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. During college Nappa worked as an EMT and coached football and baseball at his alma mater high school engraining himself further into the community with a passion to help others.
Like many Rhode Island natives, after graduating from Northeastern, Nappa set roots back in his home town of Warwick, purchasing a home and working in construction and a second job at Kent Hospital to provide for his family. Driven by the service of others and passion for youth athletics Nappa continued to coach football at Veterans High until 2016 when the school was repurposed into a middle school. Ultimately Nappa decided to pursue a career in law and accepted an offer to attend Roger Williams School of Law in the fall of 2016.
During law school Nappa worked a full time job as an EMT, maintained per diem employment at Kent Hospital, and began an internship with his mentor Attorney Paul J. Ferns. Like many other interns, Nappa was tasked with client intake, file organization and prep, legal research, and drafting. Nappa quickly gained the trust of Attorney Ferns through the quality of his work product and dedication to learning this new craft. Within a year Nappa was evaluating cases, preparing demands, negotiating claims, participating in depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and pre-trial tasks. Nappa and Ferns found that their lives paralleled in many ways and their relationship developed to the point where the pair now work jointly on a number of legal matters each bringing a different perspective to clients.
After passing his first attempt at the Universal Bar Exam February of 2021, Attorney Nappa officially stepped into the legal community when he founded Nappa Law in his home town of Warwick, Rhode Island. Driven by his passion for helping other, community involvement, and home grown blue collar work ethic, Attorney Bryan J. Nappa is a fierce advocate and is constantly striving to expand his accessibility and to provide competent and reliable legal services to his clients. He brings an exceptional level of enthusiasm, dedication, and nuanced perspective that makes his firm the best solution for your legal needs.
