The AV rating is the highest accolade in Martindale- Hubbels' rating system and was awarded as a result of an extensive, confidential review conducted among legal professionals in Mr. Amsel's community. This rating signifies that Mr. Amsel and his law firm's legal abilities are of the very highest standards and that their professional ethics are unquestioned. Most recently, Mr. Amsel was named one of South Florida's top lawyers by the Miami Metro Magazine.

Throughout the years, Mr. Amsel has obtained numerous acquittals and positive resolutions to some of the most serious and complex criminal cases. For example, in the case of United States vs. Jose Renteria, a complex money laundering conspiracy case, tried in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Amsel's client was the only defendant to be acquitted of all charges. Similarly, in United States vs. Jose Domingo Velez et al., a cocaine trafficking trial tried in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami, Florida, Mr. Amsel's client, Jose Domingo Velez, and co-defendant Walfrido Moreno, who was represented by Mr. Amsel's partner, Frederick Robbins, were the only two defendant's in that multi-defendant case to be acquitted of all charges.

In the highly publicized murder prosecution, State of Florida vs. Joyce Cohen, Mr. Amsel was responsible for convincing the jury to spare the life of Mrs. Cohen who was convicted of the 1st degree murder of her husband. Mr. Amsel's performance in this case was chronicled in a book written about the case; Life in the Fast Lane by Carol Cope (Simon & Schuster, 1993). He also represented Amado Leon in the infamous Miami River Cops case in which uniformed City of Miami Police Officers engaged in various drug rip offs of cocaine traffickers.

In a wide ranging cocaine trafficking conspiracy trial held in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan tried in Bay City Michigan, Mr. Amsel's client, Felix Santana, was the only defendant to be acquitted of all charges. A similar result was obtained by Mr. Amsel in representing Amado Leon in the United States vs. Amado Leon, a cocaine trafficking case tried in Federal Court in Miami, Florida where once again Mr. Amsel's client was the only defendant to be acquitted of all charges. In United States vs. Adesuwa Omoruyi, the defendant was charged with harboring her husband, who was a federal fugitive. After a jury trial held in Federal Court in West Palm Beach, Florida, the defendant was acquitted of all charges.

In addition to trying all degrees of criminal cases in State and Federal Courts throughout the United States, Mr. Amsel has extensive experience in representing individuals and entities in criminal forfeiture cases. Mr. Amsel has obtained numerous significant settlements in various forfeiture cases. Amongst those cases was one brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, in which the Government seized approximately 1.2 million dollars and Mr. Amsel was able to obtain a settlement whereby the Government returned approximately Eight Hundred Thousand dollars ($800,000.00) to the clients.
