A tenacious advocate for workplace fairness

I consulted Shawn Wanta regarding a complex wage and hour issue my department was facing. His deep knowledge of employment law, particularly his focus on collective actions, was immediately apparent. He took the time to explain the nuances of Minnesota and federal law in a way that was clear without being simplistic. His recognition in employment and consumer law is well-deserved, as his strategy was both meticulous and assertive. Shawn’s 17 years of experience shone through in his pragmatic approach; he was realistic about timelines and potential outcomes from the start. The entire process at Wanta Thome was handled professionally, though communication sometimes had brief delays during particularly busy periods. Ultimately, his dedication to workplace equity wasn’t just a line in his bio—it was the driving force behind our successful resolution. I would confidently recommend him to anyone needing an advocate in employment matters.
