Vincent "Vinnie" Nappo

Vinnie Nappo is tenacious in his fight for justice—and closure—for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Every day he sees firsthand the damaging effects survivors face because of the reckless and selfish acts of powerful entities and institutions that enabled and allowed abuse to go on for decades. He combines his legal knowledge, practical experience, and emotional strength to hold these institutions accountable, whether it be the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts of America, schools, foster care providers, or other youth serving institutions.

For too long, these institutions marginalized and ignored survivors of sexual abuse and assault. But their voices are finally being heard and believed. Vinnie devotes his practice to representing these men and women— empowering them, supporting their claims in court, and fighting for them at trial.

For Vinnie, litigating a sexual abuse case is not just a business transaction. Clients are not merely “files on a desk.” Each case is a person with unique concerns, objectives, and needs. Vinnie genuinely cares for each of the men and women he represents. He guides them compassionately through the highly emotional and complex legal process while ensuring they receive the best representation and outcome possible.

In the community, Vinnie’s volunteer and lobbying efforts are motivated by his desire to prevent sexual abuse and empower survivors through sensible public policy and initiatives at state and federal levels across the country. As part of a broader strategy to make communities safer and help abuse victims come forward for healing and closure, he volunteers alongside law enforcement, victim advocates, think tanks, policy groups, politicians, and others.

When he is not at work, Vinnie spends most of his time with his wife and twin boys, enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest and all it has to offer.
