Divorce

AJ helped me turn a complicated divorce into a simple process. He is not only a fantastic attorney but also a great guy. I would highly recommend his services. Thank you AJ!

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.

Brother AJ!

Excellent lawyer! AJ Amissah settled my case almost instantly. I was involved every step of the way and he made the litigation process more understandable to me. Mr. Amissah is professional as well as personable and I couldn’t have gotten a better attorney. Let’s hear it for AJ with the DPA! Thank yo...u.

Absolutely Fantastic

I have never had such an excellent interaction with an attorney. He moved my divorce through faster than I ever expected possible, responded to every email and phone call almost immediately and made the entire process a breeze.

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.
