Attorney who knows the system

AJ was able to clearly talk me through the charging process and represented my interest when it came to dealing with investigators and US attorneys. It is essential that when retaining a lawyer to have someone familiar with the local law and the key players there. He listened to my story and helped... DC law enforcement arrive at the truth. AJ is personable I found my interactions with him similar to hanging out with my childhood best friends. He knew what I was going through and developed a clear, well-thought out strategy to counteract false claims. I am glad I chose him to represent my interest and definitely recommend him for any local legal matters.

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.

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.
