Absolutely Fantastic

I have never had such an excellent interaction with an attorney. He moved my divorce through faster than I ever expected possible, responded to every email and phone call almost immediately and made the entire process a breeze.

Excellent lawyer!

I had an amazing experience working on my car accident claim with AJ and Anthony I had was kept up to date with everything going on with my case. They are very dedicated to their clients and were always there to answer any questions I had. They put their clients first and I have no doubt to go back t...o them if I ever need their services again I definitely recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you For all you do!

Posted by Varché | December 01, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Absolutely Awesome!

I had been dealing witha custody battle for over 10 years. I couldn't figure out why things just was going the way my child wanted. For years I couldn't afford to get any legal assistant. Attorney Amissah was recommended by an associate of mine. Best decision I'd ever made. The diligence of the law f...irm is like no other. They showed so much compassion for my situation. I truly appreciate all that they have help me through. The outcome of my case was what we had been asking for all these years. Thanks to A.J & Associates I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you so much.

Outstanding Attorney

A.J. Amissah is an outstanding attorney. I was involved in a three-vehicle auto accident, which resulted in me going through six months of physical therapy. Eventually, I underwent surgery and another four months of physical therapy. Mr. Amissah worked diligently with the insurance companies to se...cure a six-figure settlement. If you have a personal injury, Mr. Amissah is the person you want in your corner.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
