Fresno Attorney Frank Nunes: A San Joaquin Valley Success Story

Serving the proud residents of Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Madera, and Merced counties, attorney Frank Marvin Nunes emphasizes helping victims of personal injury, animal attacks (dog bites), and motor vehicle accidents receive justice for their pain and suffering.

With more than 31 years of California practice and over $30 million recovered for his clients, Frank brings a rare combination of community roots and courtroom firepower to every case.

Frank is a down-to-earth, lifelong resident of Fresno County who was raised on his family’s vineyard in Selma. He returned the blessings he received as a Valley kid by staying local, attending Fresno State and then San Joaquin College of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctorate (J.D.) in 1994.

Today, he uses those community roots, decades of courtroom experience, and a practical, personable touch to deliver real, dollars-and-cents results for individuals and businesses. If you have a case, Frank won’t rest until your needs are met. If you don’t, he’ll be the first to let you know. Widely respected in both the local court system and the community, he dedicates himself to clients facing challenging circumstances.

An Insider’s Advantage: He Knows How the Other Side Thinks

Before he represented injured people, Frank served as in-house counsel for a nationally known insurance company, defending the businesses and insurers that accident victims sue.

That experience gave him an intimate understanding of exactly how insurance companies work to discredit, delay, and reject legitimate claims. He now uses everything he learned defending insurers to help injured people stand up to them and demand full and fair compensation.

Verifiable Case Results

A selection of real recoveries Frank has secured for injured clients and grieving families:

  • $3.4 million settlement, wrongful death
  • $2.25 million settlement, car crash with brain damage
  • $850,000 settlement, on-the-job car crash with multiple fractures
  • $640,000 settlement, fatal crash caused by a DUI driver
  • $600,000 settlement, car crash
  • $250,000 settlement, car crash

Across his career, Frank has handled approximately 10,000 cases, with roughly 9,972 resolved through settlement and 28 taken to a jury verdict.

Note: Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts and circumstances.

Frank’s Career Journey

Frank first began practicing law for the Tulare County District Attorney as a hard-working prosecutor, once trying 16 jury trials within a single six-month period. He was the first agricultural crimes prosecutor ever appointed in the State of California.

After turning down a first invitation from his law school civil trial practice instructor to join a 10-attorney firm, Frank accepted the second offer. Drawing on the confidence he built trying cases at the District Attorney’s Office and the work ethic he learned on the farm, he took on the fast-paced practice of defending clients sued in civil cases.

Seeking to return to his agricultural roots, Frank joined the Fresno County Counsel’s office to practice land use and water law, where he was responsible for ordinance and zoning enforcement throughout Fresno County.

He later returned to farming the family vineyard in Selma after his father’s death, while broadening his experience by trying more civil cases. He then became in-house counsel for a national insurance company, adding jury trials in Kings and Kern counties to his record.

He realized his dream in August 2007, when he opened his own practice (originally the Law Offices of Frank M. Nunes, Inc., now Nunes Law, Inc.) to handle civil litigation for friends and strangers alike.

Over time, he became increasingly focused on helping injured people stand up for their rights against big insurance companies, as well as assisting small and mid-sized businesses with their litigation needs.
