Antonio Romanucci doesn’t get intimidated. He’s gone into the heart of a conservative Florida community and won a multi-million-dollar verdict in a police shooting case. He’s battling stop-and-frisk policies in the City of Chicago. He’s lead counsel for high-profile cases in Illinois against Sterigenics.

Those instances were in the courtroom, a second home to Romanucci. But, then there was the day he walked into a hotel conference room to meet approximately 60 grieving family members of George Floyd. He was nervous because he wanted to help a family shattered by the sudden, painful loss of one of their own.
