Tony was raised in the small town of Jacksonville, Illinois, just down the road from Abraham Lincoln’s New Salem Village. His mother raised five children of her own, and for over forty years she taught and cared for many handicapped children through her work at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired.
His father, now retired, is a respected, hardworking laborer who worked as a plumber and later as 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 and 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.
Tony received his law degree from DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, Illinois, where he attended on an academic scholarship. He served in the United States Navy as a Judge Advocate General. He spent three-and-a-half-years on active duty trying cases as a prosecutor and also as defense counsel. 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, Tony 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 Navy Tony 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.
Tony Vieira currently lives in Southern California with his wife Amy, his son Luke, and his daughter Tania.
