We are thrilled to announce that Kevin Bunn has been recognized by his peers as the 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” in Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants in Raleigh by The Best Lawyers in America®. This prestigious honor reflects Kevin’s unwavering dedication to protecting the rights of injured workers throughout North Carolina.
This recognition comes as part of Best Lawyers’ 32nd annual awards, which honor only the top 5% of practicing attorneys in the United States.

What This Recognition Means
Being named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers is one of the highest honors an attorney can receive. This distinction is awarded to only one lawyer per practice area in each metropolitan area, making it an exceptionally rare achievement. The selection process involves nearly 30,000 participating lawyers providing more than 3.4 million confidential evaluations to assess roughly 130,000 vetted nominees.
Kevin’s recognition comes after more than 40 years of Best Lawyers’ rigorous Purely Peer Review® methodology, which is widely regarded as the most credible measure of legal excellence. The process is simple yet powerful: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are, and Kevin has earned their highest recognition.
