Knowledgeable and Resourceful

We worked with AJ in a short timeframe and he proved to be a winner in our book. He offered great guidance on what we could expect, as first timers in this process, and kept a concerned mom calm. Professional, knowledgeable, relatable and resourceful.

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.

Amazing

Mr. Amissah was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personalable. His communication was consistent, he kept me in the loop and always responded to my emails or calls quickly. I was being charged very serious crime that carried alot of jail time but with the help of Mr. Amissah knowledge and ex...pertise I was found not by a jury of 12. Best lawyer i’ve ever had - would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!!!

Beyond Excellent!!!

Hardworking, diligent & professional, A.J. is so kind, he listened to me and provided me with different options, but most importantly, he assured me things would work out. A person killed my dog in my neighborhood. This case was challenging and complicated, with a lot of twists and turns in this case.... I was delighted with how he handled the case. A.J. is also represented on an injury claim. He handles various matters, and it would be in your best interest to speak to him for assistance. He is the best, and I was thankful he was my Attorney. Most importantly, A.J. treated me as if I was part of his family. A.J. did a fantastic job and made a real difference for my family and me. He's helpful, knowledgeable, and got the job done. A+++!

A man who knows the law

Mr. Amissah was very patient and understanding with my case. He took his time to respond to motions and came prepared for each hearing. He has a great command of the laws and understands very well how to navigate in this space. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer especially for ma...tters related to family court.

Avvo Rating

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.
