Antonio Villegas

Antonio Villegas is an extraordinary trial lawyer. In 2024 the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys nationally ranked AV as a “Top Ten Attorney” and the National Trial Lawyers recognize him as a Top 100 Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer in California. AVVO also awarded him with their “Clients Choice Award” in 2024 and rates AV a perfect “10.” AV brings an elite skill set combined with an unwavering compassion for his clients to secure them second chances, forgiveness, and opportunities for redemption. AV has successfully handled over 10,000 criminal law cases, including DUI, domestic violence, drug offenses, grand theft, and murder. AV’s trial results are legendary and have earned him the nickname, “NotGuilty” among legal commentators and on social media. As a former litigation associate at two top national law firms, Baker Hostetler LLP and Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, AV defended some of America’s most powerful companies in civil litigation matters early in his career. AV did this knowing that the experience would prepare him to defeat those corporations and insurance companies later in his career. AV now uses that inside information to prosecute personal injury and employment law cases on behalf of those injured by the very corporations he once defended. AV earned his B.A., magna cum laude (UCLA), and his J.D. from the UCLA School of Law. AV is a lifelong Dodger fan and lifelong UCLA Bruin!
