Wilson, a partner at Martin Law in Philadelphia, during its fall meeting on Oct. 4 and 5 at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey. The award is named in honor of the late Judge Irvin Stander and is presented to an attorney whose dedication to the administration of workers' compensation law, and whose professionalism and regard for clients and colleagues, serves as an example to others.
