Meet Priya

Priya Sunkara | Senior Attorney

Priya is a Senior Attorney who manages the firm's active litigation alongside Symone. Priya holds a Master's degree in Public Policy and Administration from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University. Priya earned her J.D. from the University of Minnesota Law School, where she focused on the intersection of law and neuroscience.

Like Symone, Priya began her career at nationally recognized commercial litigation firms where she defended major companies from high-profile lawsuits. This experience gave her valuable insight into how institutional defendants assess liability, shape defense narratives, and limit accountability through strategic and procedural tactics. 

Earlier in her career, Priya conducted research involving geriatric populations, an experience that deepened her understanding of vulnerability, cognitive capacity, and the long-term human consequences of institutional neglect and abuse. That research sharpened her ability to interact with vulnerable populations and to understand biopsychosocial factors affecting their trajectories.

Priya leads the firm's contributions to the National Center for Victims of Crime's Amicus Brief Writing Committee. In August 2026, she spearheaded the amicus brief submitted to the California First Appellate District arguing that online platforms like Roblox should not be allowed to force child sexual assault victims to arbitrate their claims.

Priya's institutional expertise in defending companies and her experience serving vulnerable populations empower her to both effectively and compassionately serve the Firm's survivors of sexual abuse. Priya considers it a privilege to care for survivors while also demonstrating the strength and resilience needed to fight the aggressive tactics companies often use in litigation to exhaust and undermine worthy plaintiffs.
