About Ryan

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 joined the Plaintiff’s side and began helping Injury victims.

Ryan Launches Cappy Law 

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.

In 2013, Ryan became a life member in good standing of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (MDAF) and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum (MMADF). Million Dollar Advocates Forum is one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. There are over 4000 members throughout the country. However, fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members of this prestigious and highly sought after recognition.
