About Attorney Awards

Axelson, Williamowsky, Bender & Fishman, P.C. (AWBF) was founded by two young attorneys in 1978 who thought they would best serve their community by providing legal counsel. It does not matter who you are - the president of a company or a librarian - providing justice is all the same to this firm.

Today, with over 100 years of combined experience, AWBF is a full service law firm that is continuously dedicated to its community through pro bono legal seminars for the elderly and partnerships with American Cancer Society, Special Olympics of MD and Food for the Poor Inc. The entire legal staff at Axelson, Williamowsky, Bender & Fishman, P.C., has a strong commitment to the legal profession, the community we serve, and the clients we represent.
