Wynter takes an active and extensive role in the D.C. labor and employment law community. In 2018, the Mayor nominated, and the D.C. City Council confirmed, Wynter for a three-year term as a Commissioner on the D.C. Commission on Human Rights. The Commission is the agency within the D.C. Office of Human Rights (“OHR”) that adjudicates discrimination complaints brought under the D.C. Human Rights Act. The Commission also provides an appeals process to applicants found ineligible for employment under the Criminal Background Checks for the Protection of Children Act. Although the Commission is within OHR, the Commission acts independently of OHR in order to adjudicate cases in an impartial manner.
Wynter graduated from the University of Chicago in 2002 with an A.B. in Sociology. She went on to receive her J.D. from Wake Forest University in 2006. During her time at Wake Forest, Wynter was on the Staff of the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal. She also received the Peggy Browning Fellowship and clerked with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 2005.

I have never had a person fight so hard for me in my life, except my parents. Wynter is smart, resilient, determined, strategic, uncompromising and honest. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney. She truly cares for her clients and I am grateful to know her. She gives it her ALL!

I worked with the Alden firm with Ms. Allen being my primary attorney. She represented me in a case that involved failure to promote in a large Federal agency. It was a 3 year case. She kept me informed and very responsive and the bottom line I won my case.

I strive to provide outstanding representation and I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed. We advise our clients that litigation is uncertain. We are always honest with our clients about what to expect when moving through the hearing process. We always ask for feedback from our clients during representation and we strive to fix and address any issues a client might express during representation. It is heartbreaking when a client loses their case. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
