About Ryan
Biography
Ryan Cappy was born and raised in Tampa, where he graduated Cum Laude from Jesuit High School in 1993. He attended Florida State University, where he was the president of the Interfraternity Council. He received his Juris Doctor degree from the Florida State University College of Law in 2000. While in law school, he received the Book Award in Constitutional Law, which is given by the faculty to the student who demonstrates outstanding scholastic achievement in a particular area of law.
Ryan began his career as an Assistant State Attorney with the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office. While at the State Attorney's office he tried over 50 jury trials (and over 200 non-jury trials) at both the felony and misdemeanor levels. He then went on to practice law for a prominent Tampa insurance defense firm until the fall of 2007, when he began to help injury victims. He now represents plaintiffs' rights in personal injury and wrongful death claims. In the past Ryan has defended insurance companies and their insureds, which provides him with a unique insight into the inner workings of insurance companies. That is an advantage that Ryan has over many other plaintiffs' attorneys.
Ryan resides in Tampa with his wife and two children.
Specialties:
Ryan's practice encompasses a broad range of personal injury claims, including wrongful death, automobile accidents (including trucking, motorcycle, and drunk driving accidents), and slip and falls. He also practices in the areas of medical malpractice, workers' compensation, social security disability, product liability and criminal defense.
