About Heather M.
Heather M. Nappi built her legal foundation in the Midwest. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Case Western Reserve University in 2006 and completed her Juris Doctor at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2011. Those years shaped her approach to practice: steady, methodical, attentive to detail.
She began her professional career in private practice shortly after law school. In 2013 she worked at The Law Office of Jason P. Kief, where she handled matters typical of a small firm setting. A year later she joined Bartlett McDonough & Monaghan, LLP, gaining experience in a different office environment. By 2016 she was at Valerie J. Crown, Lawyer at Law, P.C., adding to a varied early career that exposed her to multiple facets of client representation.
Membership in bar associations has tracked alongside her career. Nappi joined the Michigan State Bar in 2013 and became a member of the New York State Bar in 2015. She has been active in local and specialty groups, including the Rockland County Bar Association and the Rockland Women’s Bar Association, both of which list her as a member beginning in 2015. Those affiliations reflect a practice that crosses state lines and local boundaries.
At some point after those roles she established her own office, The Law Office of Heather M. Nappi, P.C. Running a solo or small-firm practice requires wearing many hats: attorney, counselor, manager and client liaison. Her prior years in other firms and offices provided a base for those responsibilities and for building a local client roster. Colleagues and clients have seen her move from supporting roles into firm leadership and practice management.
Nappi’s work has kept her engaged in everyday aspects of law practice. Her background suggests familiarity with client counseling, case preparation and the procedural demands of litigated matters. She maintains licenses in both Michigan and New York, which allows her to advise and represent clients on issues that touch either jurisdiction. She also participates in bar activities at the county and state level, which keeps her connected to developments in local courts and community legal networks.
She currently practices at The Law Office of Heather M. Nappi, P.C., where her work concentrates on serving clients in Rockland County and on matters arising under New York and Michigan law.
