The Fisher & Winner tradition began in the late nineteenth century with Abraham H. Fisher, who was a judge before becoming a lawyer. Abraham Fisher served in Baltimore City as a magistrate in what was later to become known as the People's Court, a predecessor of the Maryland District Court system. Following his graduation form the University of Maryland School of Law and admission to the Maryland Bar, Abraham founded the firm.

The fisher family reputation for excellence in the practice of law was carried forward by Abraham's three sons, Allan, Samuel and Morton. During decades of practice, the Firm's prominence in the fields of estates and trusts law and business law, along with its commitment to professional excellence, nurtured a prestigious client following. At death, Morton was a Judge of the United States Tax Court. Samuel had a long and distinguished career in which he was President of the Baltimore City Bar Association, Chairman of the Board of Sinai Hospital, and a Domestic Master for what is today the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.

Allan Senior's son, Allan H. Fisher, Jr. joined Fisher & Fisher as a young associate following his admission to the Maryland Bar in 1949. During his 45 years of law practice, Allan Junior achieved national recognition as a practitioner of estates and trusts law. He remained a principal of the Firm until his death in 1994. Allan Junior promoted the Firm's distinguished legal tradition, not only in his private practice, but also as an instructor of law at the University of Baltimore School of Law and through his active participation in such organizations as the American College of Estates and Trusts Counsel, the American Bar Association and the Maryland State Bar Association, where he was Chairman of its Estates and Trusts Section.

Following early career pursuits in private corporate enterprises, Charles S. Winner, now the Firm's senior partner, became an associate of the Firm in 1968. In 1971 he was made a partner of the Firm, and its name change to Fisher & Winner. Benefiting from the mentorship of Samuel and Allan Junior during his early years of practice, he has pursued the general practice of law, establishing practice concentrations in estate planning, tax law, and business law.

As the practice concentrations of the Firm have grown, it has remained steadfast in its century-old tradition of personal warmth and professional dedication to its continually growing clientele.
