He is a former Cook County prosecutor and war crimes attorney at The Hague, The Netherlands, who now handles some of the most complex criminal and civil cases before courts in the United States. He founded his law firm with the objective of providing the highest quality of legal representation to persons charged with, or convicted of, serious state or Federal crimes, or those who have sustained serious personal injury due to the negligence, recklessness, or willfulness of others. He has served as lead trial or appeals counsel in several high-profile cases before national and international courts.

Nationally, within the U.S., he recently obtained an acquittal for a defendant charged with six counts of first degree murder, after a jury trial before the Circuit Court of Cook County and, he has represented numerous persons being detained by police on potential murder charges that were never brought because of his early intervention and invocation of their rights under the Constitution. Attorney Anyah’s winning strategy has made him the pre-eminent, “go to” lawyer when people in and around Chicago are in search of a top-notch criminal appeals attorney, criminal defense attorney, civil rights attorney, or personal injury attorney. In addition to his criminal law and civil rights practice, Attorney Anyah has filed suits and won significant monetary compensation for injured victims in cases involving wrongful death, medical malpractice, and automobile accidents. He is admitted to the bars of several U.S., jurisdictions, including, Illinois, Washington, D.C., and Georgia, and to the List of Counsel at the International Criminal Court at The Hague, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, and the Special Court for Sierra Leone.
