Personable, Accessible, & Invested

Mr. Amissah was personable throughout the entire process. He made my tense and tough situation easy to navigate by providing me various options, negotiating with the other party, and allowing me the freedom to choose the way to proceed. He was referred by a friend while he was out of the country. Yet... he availed himself to me quickly and with great flexibility as I have a non traditional work schedule. Finally, Mr. Amissah was invested in the outcome. The hours he put in, and the times he went back and forth with the other party demonstrated his care. Pricing was reasonable and he did as we agreed. Although I hope to never need him again, I wouldn’t hesitate to pass his name on to those who need similar counsel.

Best in the DMV

Mr.Amissah was the right choice when it came to handling my bodily injury case. He was highly recommended and from the consultation I knew that he would handle the case with attention and detail given his track record. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled correctly and diligen...tly every step of the way. He made sure to keep me informed on all inquiries and maintained constant communication throughout the whole process. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a great lawyer in the DMV area.

Child Custody Case

Mr. Amissah managed my expectations very well and sought mutually beneficial outcomes for the good of the child. Mr. Amissah made informed decisions about how to proceed in my case based on his professional opinion. He maintained his composure and at times acted as a sounding board for all that I was... experiencing. I would gladly hire him again!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
