Ravi Sangisetty is the son of two immigrants who came to Louisiana and worked hard to create opportunities for their children. Inspired by his parents’ determination in the face of many challenges, Ravi has dedicated his career to helping others navigate their own setbacks. His work in the law has overlapped with many issues in the state legislature, and he knows he can make a broader impact on the community as a state representative.
Ravi Sangisetty is the founder of the Sangisetty Law Firm, a firm specializing in complex civil litigation. He began his legal career as a law clerk for Judge Stanwood Duval, Jr. at the federal court in New Orleans. In addition to his private law practice, Ravi was recently appointed by Governor John Bel Edwards and Attorney General Jeff Landry to represent Louisiana in its lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors.
Ravi serves on the Audubon Commission, the public body overseeing the zoo, aquarium, and other facilities of the Audubon Institute as well as LSU’s committee advising on the redevelopment of the Charity Hospital building.
Ravi’s wife, Elizabeth, is a practicing pediatrician. She came to New Orleans for her pediatrics residency at Tulane-Ochsner with an interest in working with a medically underserved patient population. Elizabeth is passionate about the care she provides to children, and her work allows her to see firsthand how state legislation can affect the most vulnerable members of our population.
Together, they have two beautiful children and one on the way. Ravi and Elizabeth want their children to become advocates for people when it matters most and to learn that they can effect change in their community.
