Wilder Pantazis Law Group is proud to announce that our attorneys have once again been recognized in the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America® 2026, one of the most respected peer-reviewed legal publications in the nation.
Recognition is based entirely on a rigorous peer-review process, where attorneys are asked which attorney they would recommend if they were unable to take a case themselves. The 2026 edition reflects over 26 million evaluations from attorneys nationwide, including a record-breaking 3.5 million responses this year alone.
This year, attorney AnneMarie Pantazis was named Lawyer of the Year for Charlotte Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants.
“I am deeply honored to be named Lawyer of the Year in Workers’ Compensation – Claimants/Employees by Best Lawyers® for the third time,” said Annemarie Pantazis. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from my peers in the legal community.
For me, this award reflects not just my work, but also my commitment to standing up for injured workers and ensuring their voices are heard. I am grateful to my colleagues for this recognition, and most of all, to the clients who trust me to fight for them during some of the most difficult times in their lives.”

Because only a single lawyer in each practice area and geographic region is named “Lawyer of the Year,” AnneMarie’s distinction highlights the exceptional impact she has had in advocating for injured workers in Charlotte and beyond.
AnneMarie has also been recognized by Best Lawyers® this year and every year since 2018 for the following categories:
- Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs
- Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants
Attorney Raboteau T. Wilder, Jr. has also received multiple recognitions in The Best Lawyers in America® 2026, as he has since 2003. This year, he is again being recognized for his excellence in the categories:
- Commercial Litigation
- Health Care Law
- Litigation – Health Care
At Wilder Pantazis Law Group, we are honored that our attorneys have received these recognitions. We see these awards as a reflection of our ongoing commitment to providing clients with tireless advocacy, trusted guidance, and results-driven representation.
Being recognized by our peers underscores what we value most: standing up for people, delivering justice, and helping our clients rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence.
