About Annemarie Pantazis

Attorney Annemarie Pantazis is a Board-Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist, a distinction held by a select few North Carolina lawyers. She is the author of several publications on workers’ compensation, and frequently teaches continuing legal education classes on the subject.

Originally from the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Annemarie is the oldest of 3 children born to parents of Greek and Sicilian heritage. Introduced to the law at an early age, she worked for an estate planning attorney through high school and summers in college, where she learned early on that it’s important to take risks in both your career and in your personal life.

Annemarie earned her B.A. from the College of William & Mary in 1994, and her J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1999, where she was a published member of the Wake Forest Law Review and Chief Justice of the Moot Court Board. After law school, Ms. Pantazis joined a firm defending workers’ compensation and personal injury claims.

“I finally realized that I loved law,” said Ms. Pantazis. In 2002, Annemarie left the defense side to devote her career to representing those who have suffered work-related and other injuries in North Carolina.
