Sparacino PLLC Welcomes Three Seasoned Attorneys to Strengthen Its Legal Team
Sparacino PLLC has announced the arrival of three experienced attorneys, a move aimed at deepening the firm’s capacity to represent victims of terrorism, trafficking, and others seeking to hold powerful actors to account. This expansion builds on the Washington, D.C.–based litigation firm’s work on behalf of more than 4,000 Americans—among them Gold Star families—across high-stakes cases where accountability truly matters.
A Standing Commitment to Justice
The firm has a long record of helping victims of terrorism pursue and secure judgments under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. To date, it has supported nearly 1,000 such victims in cases against nations accused of supporting terrorism. That work sits alongside the firm’s broader role in matters touching national safety and security. Since the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act took effect in 2016, Sparacino PLLC has also served as investigative counsel in significant cases brought under that law, reflecting a sustained commitment to thorough, fact-driven litigation.
Breaking New Ground
The firm’s portfolio includes a landmark case focused on human trafficking tied to major construction projects, including those connected to a high-profile international event. The case underscores Sparacino PLLC’s readiness to confront complex social harms head-on and to seek accountability where it’s due. That same determination informs the firm’s extensive litigation against state sponsors of terrorism—work that requires stamina, careful investigation, and a steady hand.
Meet the New Hires
With the addition of Anthony Asuncion, Jacob Loshin, and Stacey Wilson, Sparacino PLLC is meaningfully expanding its capabilities. Each attorney brings a distinct skill set that complements the firm’s mission and enhances its ability to navigate demanding, high-consequence cases.
Anthony Asuncion: A Wealth of Experience
Anthony Asuncion joins the firm after a distinguished career as a federal prosecutor, where he handled matters with national security dimensions and led complex prosecutions. As Chief of the Felony Trial Section at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, he managed significant cases and teams, experience that translates directly to the firm’s work combating terrorism. His background in guiding difficult cases from investigation through resolution adds practical strength to Sparacino PLLC’s litigation bench.
Jacob Loshin: Financial Security Advocate
Jacob Loshin brings more than a decade of experience at the intersection of national security and financial crime prevention. As Assistant General Counsel at the Treasury Department, he developed and applied legal tools aimed at curbing financial threats, including those tied to terrorism and other illicit activity. His leadership in shaping legal standards and addressing economic sanctions issues shows a steady command of complex regulatory frameworks—and a clear sense of how to use them to protect people and enforce accountability.
Stacey Wilson: A Rising Star
Stacey Wilson arrives with a strong foundation in litigation and compliance. She clerked for a federal district court judge and later focused on compliance work at an international law firm. Her hands-on experience with whistleblower protection laws and enforcement regimes equips her to spot risk, build the record, and advocate effectively for clients. That combination—careful analysis and real-world application—fits seamlessly with the firm’s approach.
Looking Ahead
Managing Partner Ryan Sparacino shared his enthusiasm for the new attorneys, emphasizing the distinct perspectives and practical skills each one brings. Together, they deepen the firm’s ability to pursue justice for those harmed by terrorism, trafficking, and other wrongful conduct. The result is a team even better prepared to take on complex, sensitive matters involving national security and exploitation—and to do so with care, rigor, and resolve. It’s a step forward that keeps the focus where it belongs: on the people who need strong advocates by their side.
