Amazing lawyer

A.J. Amissah is amazing lawyer he represented me with a traffic matter that wasn't looking so good. He came on my case with the knowledge he possesses and really turned things around for me. I highly recommend Mr. Amissah to anyone looking for and amazing criminal defense attorney that's easy to comm...unicate with and knowledgeable in what he does.

Great Attorney!

While most if not all...are very cautious and even nervous about hiring representation. Because there are so many who will not care anything about your case at all and will put no effort into anything and are just out for a quick check. Mr. Amissah is the complete opposite, he listened to my issue, h...e made me feel a level of comfort, he was able to communicate effectively, which is very important and something that a lot of attorney's lack due to their cockiness. When individuals pay for a service, its expected to have a level of communication and to feel that enough work ethic is being put forth. Mr. Amissah absolutely put his BEST foot forth in working on my case to the point that I was satisfied with his services even before the ruling because he did such an amazing job. I would not hesitate to contact him again shall I need anymore services in the future. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for GOOD LEGAL REPRESENTATION.

An amazing lawyer!

Mr. Amissah’s skill level is unparalleled. He surpasses the status quo of what is to be expected from an attorney providing replenished hope. I felt that my situation warranted a discouraging outcome but Mr. Amissah not only kept my spirits high he worked diligently to find an effective solution. He ...was persistent, knowledgeable, and precise in the way he handle my case. This highlighted to me that he is invested in the cases he defended. I would refer Mr. Amissah to anyone seeking counsel considering his expertise spans an array of legal concerns.

BEST DUI and Criminal Defense in the DMV

AJ Amissah helped me with a false DUI charge that went on for 13 months and 2 plea offers before he got it dropped for lack of prosecution! He supported my choices and best interest the whole time. When I had concurrent legal issues he was attentive and helpful. He is well known and respected by othe...r attorneys and judges, and he provides outstanding client service. I Highly Recommend AJ Amissah for any criminal, DUI, possession, misdemeanor or felony you might be charged with.
