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!!!!

I not only recommend attorney Amissah, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used A.J. for a foreign divorce, he is ...a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else.

Personal injury/drunk driver

I hired AJ Amissah and Anthony Marsh of Amissah and Marsh Law for my car accident case in which I was hit by a drunk driver. The service that I received was more than expected. What made a difference for me was the feeling of being cared about. I never felt like I was just another client. My case las...ted over a year and they checked on me and kept me up to date on my case on a weekly basis. AJ and Anthony were always professional, kind and caring. They fought for me and my case. I could not have asked for a better team to represent me. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

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.

  • 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.
