Not 1, but 2 cases!

Mr. Amissah. I have no words to describe or express how thankful I am. He was my lawyer and was able to dropped the charges against me not in 1 but in 2 cases. He is great and know how to proceed. Always responded to my calls or texts, always had an answer to my questions and always explain everythin...g to me so I can understand everything on each court date. Thank you Mr. Amissah. Blessings.

Physician

I hired Atty. Amissah to represent me in my child custody case. I had been fighting in the court system for 7 years, had five different judges and three different lawyers trying to gain full custody of my son, all to no avail. After Atty. Amissah took on my case I never looked back. He was understand...ing, knowledgeable and persistent. His fees were reasonable and there was never a time I felt unfairly charged. I am extremely grateful for his services because without them I would not have my son beside me now.

Hands Down the Best Attorney 100%

I retained Aj for my divorce as a recommendation from my previous attorney that could no longer represent me. I trusted her and she was right. Aj jumped into my crazy divorce case with both feet. He is very educated and very smart. when he took on my case he listened to everything i had to say even l...et me vent a little bit. Me being younger he gave me the feel of being a bigger brother with great advice. i could call him at any time with the drama i would be dealing with my now ex wife. He would give advice of to and not to feed into. Aj honestly tries to take the stress off of you and tries to help you continue you normal lifestyle despite what you are going through. Aj gives you a family feel he’s not just out here to take your money. he was always honest and upfront with me. i have retained Aj for a couple other cases as well and i can promise you you can trust Aj with your life. and if you give your input and follow his guidance he will definitely get you to the finish line. He also helped get me a fair deal and fair custody schedule with my child and also advice us to get a parenting coordinator to help structure our co parenting. if you have a difficult case or a case that may be an in and out but need legal representation contact AJ

  • 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.
