A Legacy of Union Advocacy
Our History
For over four decades, Akman & Associates has been at the forefront of providing unparalleled legal coverage and support to unions nationwide. Our story begins with Alvin Akman, the visionary president of Baltimore’s UFCW Local 27 for an unprecedented 30 years. Alvin Akman was a trailblazer, negotiating fringe benefits that included groundbreaking legal coverage for union members, setting a precedent that echoed across the country.
The legacy continued through Alvin Akman's son, Bryan Akman, who, after law school, seized the opportunity to bid on the legal plan he helped craft. In 1981, Akman & Associates was born, dedicated to advocating for union members' legal rights.
Today, Matt and Jared carry the torch, drawn into the family legacy to continue to bring legal services to unions across America.
Akman & Associates isn't just about legal representation; it's a commitment to empower unions. We focus on providing crucial legal services to those who might otherwise struggle to afford them, leveling the playing field and championing the rights of union members in legal matters.
Our firm's ethos revolves around serving those often marginalized in legal battles. We understand the challenges faced by union members because we've lived it. Our deep connection to the union ethos guides our unwavering dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we represent.
At Akman & Associates, our story is one of empathy, commitment, and a relentless pursuit of justice. Join us as we continue our journey, standing as a pillar of support for union members across the nation, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights protected.
