Mr. Tunnero is an exceptional trial attorney and effective litigator. He has been a certified civil trial attorney since 1994 which is a distinction only a small percentage of attorneys possess. His trial experience has been proven over the last 35-plus years and has resulted in multi-million dollar settlements and jury verdicts. I highly recommend Mr. Tunnero.
