Divorce

I am absolutely pleased with Mr. Amissah's representation. He was absolutely diligent, respectful, helpful, fair, and efficient in his efforts to help me settle my divorce in a way that honored me and my children’s best interest. I could not have finished this without his help, guidance and represent...ation! Thank you! Please hire him, well worth the investment.

AJ is excellent, won joint custody

I highly recommend AJ for divorce representation. AJ helped me through a year-long divorce that resulted in winning joint custody of my daughter after my ex filed for sole custody. He was accessible 24/7, always available to talk and always responsive. He provided options for going to court to resolv...e the divorce, but was not overly aggressive about litigation and helped me keep things in mediation so that we didn’t have to go to court. He was very knowledgeable about the judges and how to best handle the case. He is very fair on billing for service, and is overall a really smart and nice guy that cared about me and my daughter and making sure we had a fair outcome.

Professionalism at its best!

Hiring AJ Amissah for my divorce case was nothing but great experience because not only did he carry me along every step of the way, he is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful with providing great advice. Got me everything I deserved from my divorce and his team are always quick to respond to... all your needs. And Ofcourse, Yasmin was so sweet and compassionate. Would always recommend Amissah and Marsh Law firm for excellent service thought out the process.

Sr. Data Scientist

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.

Hands Down the Best Attorney 100%

I retained Aj for my divorce as a recommendation from my previous attorney that could no longer represent me. I trusted her and she was right. Aj jumped into my crazy divorce case with both feet. He is very educated and very smart. when he took on my case he listened to everything i had to say even l...et me vent a little bit. Me being younger he gave me the feel of being a bigger brother with great advice. i could call him at any time with the drama i would be dealing with my now ex wife. He would give advice of to and not to feed into. Aj honestly tries to take the stress off of you and tries to help you continue you normal lifestyle despite what you are going through. Aj gives you a family feel he’s not just out here to take your money. he was always honest and upfront with me. i have retained Aj for a couple other cases as well and i can promise you you can trust Aj with your life. and if you give your input and follow his guidance he will definitely get you to the finish line. He also helped get me a fair deal and fair custody schedule with my child and also advice us to get a parenting coordinator to help structure our co parenting. if you have a difficult case or a case that may be an in and out but need legal representation contact AJ
