Trial Attorney at Wanta T

Overview

About Wanta Thome

Our mission is to undo the economic harm of workplace discrimination.

We’re contingency employment lawyers focused on maximum financial recovery for workers facing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage violations. We move fast to restore stability, hold bad actors accountable, and deliver justice clients can actually feel.

Our case types include race, sex, age, and disability discrimination; sexual harassment; whistle blower retaliation; FMLA interference; workers’ compensation retaliation; and pregnancy discrimination.

• Case Value: Achieve median settlement values at or above firm benchmarks for your case types (targets shared during interviews; they’re aggressive).
• Courtroom Performance: Execute depositions, mediations, hearings, and trials that advance case value.
• Client
  
  Experience:
  
  Maintain outstanding client feedback through consistent communication and transparency. We survey clients for their feedback regularly.
• Delegation Effectiveness: Your job is fresh analysis, strategy, and advocacy. You’ll delegate the rest to your paralegal or case manager.
• Process Adherence: Our proprietary, technology-backed system for case advancement is central to practice. We’ll train you to use it and ask for your help to improve it.
• Portfolio Growth: Build capacity to manage an expanding caseload as you master our systems.

• Strategic Case Assessment: You see the full chessboard, identify pressure points, quantify damages early, and build strategies that force favorable resolutions. You don’t wait for the other side to act—you dictate the tempo.
• Persuasive Advocacy: Your writing moves people. Your oral arguments command attention. Whether it’s a motion or a closing statement, you communicate with precision and impact.
• Efficient Delegation: You give paralegals and case managers clear directions, specific timelines, and explicit boundaries. You trust them to execute routine work so you can focus on strategic decisions. Attorneys who hoard tasks or micromanage don’t survive here.
• Client Relationship
  
  Skills:
  
  You’re the steady hand clients trust during the most stressful period of their professional lives. You communicate proactively, set realistic expectations, and never leave them wondering what’s happening with their case.
• Negotiation for Maximum Value: You know when to push, when to hold, and when to close.

• Teamwork (No Ego): You win as part of a team, not as a solo act. You share credit, ask for help when you need it, and celebrate others’ victories.
• Impactful Agility: When obstacles appear, you find a way through (or around... or over...). You don’t wait for permission to solve problems. You make smart calls that keep cases moving.
• Relentless Excellence: You own your outcomes completely. No excuses, no blame-shifting, no “that’s not my job.” When something falls short, you fix it and prevent it from happening again.
• Results-Driven: You prioritize ruthlessly. You know the difference between busy and productive. Every action you take connects to client recovery or firm growth—everything else is noise.
• Radical Candor: You’d rather have a hard conversation now than let a problem fester. You give feedback that helps people improve. You receive feedback without defensiveness.

Freedom: You’re the president of your own practice inside our firm. You make the strategic calls on your cases. You decide how to deploy your support team. Our processes exist to accelerate your effectiveness.

You’re stepping into a role designed for attorneys who want to own their results. Our team structure means you’re the strategic lead on your cases—supported by paralegals and case managers who handle execution so you can focus on the work that actually moves outcomes.

We’ll teach you employment law through our proven systems. What we can’t teach is litigation instinct, strategic thinking, and the drive to win. Bring those, and we’ll give you everything else.
