About Hannah Matsunaga
Hannah Matsunaga was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is a graduate of Vassar College and Stanford Law School. At Stanford, she led the workers' rights pro bono group and was a member of the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, where her team won Mount Lemmon Fire Dist. v. Guido, 139 S. Ct. 22 (2018), establishing that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act covers state employers of any size.
She started her legal career at a California civil rights firm focusing on gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and sexual harassment, then clerked for Judge Jesus G. Bernal of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and Judge Mark J. Bennett of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In her first year at Davis Levin Livingston, she helped try a wrongful death case involving a man who died by suicide at Halawa Correctional Facility and a medical malpractice case on behalf of a child injured at Tripler Hospital, both of which resulted in record victories. Her practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, sexual abuse, and civil rights.
