One of Mr. Antunovich’s most memorable achievements was securing a $255,000 jury verdict for a client who was involved in a car accident and suffered soft tissue injuries to her neck and back and ringing in her ears (tinnitus). The defendant claimed the car crash was entirely his client’s fault and that the injuries were being faked and exaggerated. The last best offer before trial from the insurance company was $40,000. After a one-week jury trial, the jury attributed 100% fault for the accident to the defendant. This case exemplifies Mr. Antunovich’s ability to effectively present facts and advocate for his clients' rights.

Mr. Antunovich’s legal acumen has earned him recognition from various professional organizations. He has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and serves on the Board of Directors for both the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) and the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association (OCTLA).

In addition to his courtroom successes, Mr. Antunovich is known for his empathetic approach to client relationships. He understands the trust clients place in their attorneys and strives to honor that trust through diligent preparation and aggressive representation.

A native of Orange County, Mr. Antunovich earned his bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Cal Poly Pomona. He went on to graduate with honors (cum laude) from Western State College of Law. Since then, he has built an impressive track record, trying several cases to jury verdict and maintains a winning record for his injured clients.

When not advocating for his clients, Mr. Antunovich enjoys playing soccer, running, traveling, and spending time with his family. His well-rounded approach to life informs his legal practice, allowing him to connect with clients on a personal level while fighting tirelessly for their rights.
