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!

Professional, knowledgeable, and will go the extra mile!

Mr. Amissah demonstrated exceptional professionalism and diligence in handling my case. He navigated every challenge with skill and adaptability, always providing clear and transparent guidance on what to expect. I was also introduced to Maggie, whose passion and dedication ensured my voice was heard... and my best interests were represented. Madison was equally fantastic—always available to assist with any questions. The entire team is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly empathetic, making me feel like family throughout the process. I truly appreciate everything they’ve done for me!

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.

This firm is outstanding!

Mr. Amissah is very knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn't have known where to start with my case without him! He takes his time and interacts with your experience followed by sound advice. He is the best criminal defense attorney I’ve ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everyt...hing to me in terms I could understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney I would highly recommend Mr. Amissah. 10 out of 10!

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.
