Amazing and Professional

I had an extremely complex case with a lot of factors that would have made any other attorney run away… However, Mr. Amissah took my case head on and despite all the challenges he got me the result I wanted! Finally divorced after years of wanting to and just needing someone to hold my hand and do th...e dirty work for me. Thank you to Jasmine as well who listened to me vent in the beginning when they were starting to take my case. I truly appreciate you all! Will definitely recommend anyone who needs legal guidance.

DC DUI CASE

I can't tell you how happy I am to have had such a great attorney and a good man like A.J Amissah in representing me in my case. I HIGHLY recommend him in the DMV area.

Outstanding attorney!

AJ was an amazing attorney that supported me through multiple legal issues, including false allegations of abuse/assault during divorce proceedings. Not only were the false allegations completely debunked, we reached a divorce settlement acceptable to me that preserved my parental rights and saved m...e significant money in the long run for alimony. He is an expert in both civil and criminal proceedings, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

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.

  • 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.
