Grateful

I cannot recommend my attorney Mr. A.J. Amissah Esq. and his staff highly enough! From the very start, they demonstrated professionalism, care, and a deep understanding of my case. They navigated my situation with clarity and confidence, ensuring that my interests were always protected. Their attent...ion to detail, responsiveness to questions, and ability to explain legal processes in simple terms were outstanding. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I achieved a favorable resolution and felt supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable attorney who truly advocates for their clients, look no further. I’m incredibly grateful for their help!

Accountant

Mr. Amissah is an amazing attorney. He was able to walk us through a stressful and tough situation. He went above and beyond while maintaining a professional and caring approach throughout the whole process. He was very honest and was open about all avenues we could face but was always optimist...ic. We are extremely grateful and impressed with how he presented our case to the judge. His professionalism and knowledge were seen in action. We recommend Mr. Amissah to absolutely anyone. Trust him and you won’t be disappointed.

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
