BIOGRAPHY:
Anthony (“Tony”) Vieira was raised in the small town of Jacksonville, Illinois, just down the road from Abraham Lincoln’s New Salem Village. His “Grandma Vieira” was a Christian woman with extraordinary faith in God, who lived a life of integrity and selflessness in the midst of great poverty. She had 13 children, and she loved and gave of herself until the day she died. She is a special reminder to him of someone who understood what is important in life.
Tony’s mother raised five children of her own, and for over 40 years she taught and cared for many handicapped children through her work at the Illinois School for the Blind. His father, now retired, was a respected, hardworking laborer who worked from being a plumber, and later, a successful industrial plumbing, heating, and air conditioning contractor. During Tony’s teenage years, when he wasn’t playing basketball, he remembers working alongside his father helping him do everything a plumbing, heating, and air conditioning man does – from running water and sewer mains, tearing out heating and air conditioning systems, to pouring and breaking out concrete. In later years, because of his life’s work in the trades, Tony’s father developed asbestosis.
Mr. Vieira has a heart for the hurting. These are among many of the experiences that have shaped Mr. Vieira’s passion for vindicating the rights of injured people.

Mr. Vieira received his law degree from DePaul University College of Law, Chicago, Illinois, on an academic scholarship. He served in the military U.S. Navy, as a Judge Advocate General.

His experience includes working as the Officer-In-Charge of a Navy Legal Assistance office, where he helped sailors, marines, soldiers, and their families with civil legal problems. While in the Navy, Mr. Vieira received various awards for his trial representation, including an award from the U.S. Department of Justice for his outstanding work in a series of rape cases.
After he left the US Navy, Mr. Vieira worked for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office as a Deputy District Attorney. His experience included cases that received national media attention, including the prosecution of the retrial of the Erik and Lyle Menendez case, the “Wrong Way Murder Case,” and the “P9 Witness Murders.” He spent four years as a member of the elite Hard-Core Gang Unit, where he concentrated on conspiracy prosecutions involving murder, attempted murder, and robbery. Mr. Vieira was recognized through numerous awards for his work, including commendations from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the City of Pasadena.

Mr. Vieira’s experience also includes several years working for one of the largest plaintiffs firms in California, where he lead multiple jury trials and has helped many families recover many millions of dollars in damages because their husbands and fathers and grandfathers were injured by asbestos and other toxic products.
