Roy J.R. Antunes

Roy J.R. Antunes was born in Lisbon, Portugal, and raised in Surrey, BC.

After obtaining a Criminology Diploma from Kwantlen College in 1998,  Roy attended Simon Fraser University where he was admitted into the School of Criminology’s Honours program in 1999; an advanced program which at the time only averaged 16 students per year.

After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree at Simon Fraser University in 2000, Roy was accepted at several law schools throughout Western Canada, and recommended by SFU's School of Criminology for a place in their Master of Arts program.  However, Roy chose to pursue his legal studies at the University of Saskatchewan’s law school where, after completing his second year, he scored in the top quarter of his class.

Roy was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 2005, after which he practiced in the areas of both civil litigation and solicitor’s work in Kelowna, BC.  In 2006, Roy returned home to Surrey and joined Cowley & Company.  Roy has conducted successful trials at both the Provincial Court and Supreme Court of BC levels and has also successfully appeared at the Federal Court level.  Roy currently practices in the areas of personal injury and civil litigation with a particular focus on prosecuting ICBC cases.

Roy enjoys working at Cowley & Company as we are a plaintiff-only firm.  Unlike many other firms that also do personal injury files, we don't ever act for ICBC.  Roy chose to work at Cowley & Company as we are well known for doing excellent personal injury work and because he felt it was important to work at a law firm that located in his hometown community.

Roy is  a current member of both the Canadian Bar Association and the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia.

Outside of the office, Roy enjoys volunteering his time coaching ball hockey with the Surrey Minor Ball Hockey Association.
