Biography

Dara Wanzer’s state and federal litigation practice is focused on labor and employment law and general civil litigation, particularly in the areas of energy, healthcare, insurance, products liability defense, and real estate.  In addition to representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex civil litigation matters, she also counsels and represents employers in litigation matters involving all types of wrongful discharge claims, claims related to employment agreements, and other disputes arising from the employer-employee relationship.

Dara is a 2005 honors graduate from the University of Oklahoma College of Law.  Prior to joining McAfee & Taft in 2007, she practiced as a litigation associate with another Oklahoma City-based civil practice law firm in the areas of commercial litigation, hospital liability and medical malpractice.

In addition to her legal practice at the firm, Dara also serves as a volunteer attorney for Oklahoma Lawyers for Children, a nonprofit organization that uses the time, talent and resources of qualified pro bono lawyers and others to represent and assist children in the Juvenile Division of the Oklahoma County District Court. She also serves on the board of directors of the Young Lawyers Division of the Oklahoma County Bar Association.
