Top Notch Attorney!

I retained Mr. Amissah to represent me with a frivolous and retaliatory defamation suit against me. A.J. worked tirelessly to ensure the best outcome for me. He kept me informed of everything concerning the case on a regular basis and always asked if I had any questions or needed clarification of any... information he relayed to me. I won my case because A.J. was extremely prepared and knowledgeable of every aspect of my case. Vindication feels great! If you are in need of a no nonsense, get the job done attorney, look no further!

Beyond Excellent!!!

Hardworking, diligent & professional, A.J. is so kind, he listened to me and provided me with different options, but most importantly, he assured me things would work out. A person killed my dog in my neighborhood. This case was challenging and complicated, with a lot of twists and turns in this case.... I was delighted with how he handled the case. A.J. is also represented on an injury claim. He handles various matters, and it would be in your best interest to speak to him for assistance. He is the best, and I was thankful he was my Attorney. Most importantly, A.J. treated me as if I was part of his family. A.J. did a fantastic job and made a real difference for my family and me. He's helpful, knowledgeable, and got the job done. A+++!

Professionalism at its best!

Hiring AJ Amissah for my divorce case was nothing but great experience because not only did he carry me along every step of the way, he is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful with providing great advice. Got me everything I deserved from my divorce and his team are always quick to respond to... all your needs. And Ofcourse, Yasmin was so sweet and compassionate. Would always recommend Amissah and Marsh Law firm for excellent service thought out the process.

A man who knows the law

Mr. Amissah was very patient and understanding with my case. He took his time to respond to motions and came prepared for each hearing. He has a great command of the laws and understands very well how to navigate in this space. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer especially for ma...tters related to family court.

Professional Executive Assistant

I wish I could tell every client AJ comes across, he has your back! AJ is the best! My case was quite complicated. I was in a car accident. I was arrested and charged with Suspicion of a Drunk Driver. I went into a depressed mode as my case was ongoing. When I contacted AJ, he was Johnny on the S...pot!!! I never looked to hire another Attorney. AJ is AWESOME! I fought my case and AJ had it dismissed. He's compassionate, caring, understanding, diligent, forceful and extremely knowledgeable. I'm recommending AJ Amissah to everyone!!! I've dealt with many Attorneys in my career, AJ superceds superior. Thank You Again AJ Amissah!!! Hands Down, You're The Best!!!!
