Trial Attorney at Wanta T

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.

Drive maximum financial recovery for employees who have experienced workplace discrimination or retaliation.

This isn’t about billing hours or playing the waiting game. It’s about using sharp litigation instincts, persistence, and the Wanta Thome method to get clients the full value of their case.

We hire people to deliver results, not to go through the motions. Here’s what success looks like in your first 12–18 months:

• Case Value: Achieve median settlement values at or above firm benchmarks for your case types (we’ll share how we set targets 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. We expect you’ll delegate the rest to your paralegal or case manager.
• Process Adherence: Our proprietary, technology-backed, system for case advancement is at the heart of our practice. It’s what allows us to achieve truly fantastic client results for clients. We’ll train you how 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. You identify pressure points, quantify damages early, and build strategies that force favorable resolution. 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 the strategic decisions only you can make. 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 your 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 get the idea). 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.

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…
