After being wrongfully terminated following a report of safety violations, I felt completely lost. Joni Thome and her team at Wanta Thome provided the guidance and fierce representation I desperately needed. With over three decades of experience, her deep knowledge of employment law was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated my complex retaliation case, and her recognition in employment litigation is clearly well-earned. Joni truly listens and fights passionately for her clients, making you feel supported during an incredibly stressful time. While communication response times could occasionally be quicker during non-critical phases, the outcome she secured was more than fair. I highly recommend her to anyone facing workplace injustice in Minneapolis.
