About Wanta Thome
We don't drag cases out. We win them quickly.
Wanta Thome is a plaintiff-side employment law firm representing employees against discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and whistleblower violations across Minnesota and Illinois. We don't bill by the hour — we get paid when our clients get paid, which means every day a case sits is a day a wronged employee waits for justice (and a day we don't get paid). Speed Wins Cases isn't a slogan here — it's the operating principle every role is built around.
The Pre-Litigation Case Manager is the engine that drives our pre-suit cycle. If our Pre-Litigation Attorneys are the negotiators, you're the one who builds the leverage package they negotiate with — fast, complete, and ready to put pressure on the other side.
