Shaka Johnson is truly the best criminal lawyer in Philadelphia

Our son was in a criminal situation. He was facing a very high bail and major criminal charges and was falsely accused. We trusted him from the first consultation and we strongly believed that he would get us justice. It was thru his professionalism and swagger that he was able to minuaver thru the r...ed tape and Baracaci of the unfairness of the commonwealth. He was able to see thru all the lies and render a not guilty verdict of all charges. If you want a hard working and successful lawyer that has a passion for his clients and truly mean business that would be Shaka Johnson aka The Godfather of the law. We would truly recommend him to anyone and everyone that is in need of the best lawyer in Philadelphia.

CASE DISMISSED

I was referred to Shaka by a good friend. One word "BEAST". This man don't play games when it comes to the court room. He's sharp as a knife, knows his stuff & his mouth piece is vicious!!! All around good dude. When I sat down with him, I couldn't believe a lawyer could be that cool. I was tripping ...thinking I was getting roofed & Shaka's exact words to me was "chill, I do this". He gave it to me straight, didn't try to kill my pockets & even made arrangements for me to pay based on my schedule. We went to court 2 times & Shaka knocked that case right out the park. Needless to say, while still in the preliminary, my Case was DISMISSED!

One of the BEST lawyers in Philadelphia !

Shaka was actually referred by a friend. I hired him to represent my brother for a gun charge (which we're currently still fighting). And he is actually currently on parole for prior gun charges. Before meeting with Shaka, I already heard so many great things about him, but let me tell you once I sat... down with him and I seen his whole outlook on what he does and his demeanor, I felt completely confident about hiring him. He talks in a manner you'll understand and he tells you the just of things honestly, wether they be good or bad. He makes you feel comfortable to talk about anything. He's very professional but also rational when it comes to his cases. When we just attended the preliminary hearing, he fought like we were already in trial ! Everyone was stunned by his performance ! Even the families of other people waiting to be called were gasping in the background. When we left the court room he had multiple people coming up to him asking for business cards. This man is the truth ! I was absolutely astonished at his work ! He is very aggressive in the court room when getting his point and all the facts across. He's very passionate about what he does and it shows ! He honestly made the prosecutor and judge silent after speaking. It's also a BIG PLUS that he was an ex police officer, S.W.A.T. team member, Narcotics Officer, & a member of the district attorney's office. He has major things under his belt ! So he knows how people in those positions work so he has a relatable understanding while handling his cases. I'm so Glad I hired him & am thankful for his work and expertise even if he doesn't beat the case at trial. I'll know he tried his complete best and that's what counts. HIRE SHAKA IF YOU WANT RESULTS !

2nd vop with homicide judge

Shaka Johnson tried to get me home on my gagnon but my judge wasent having that, went to court Shaka fought to get me back on the street the judge gave me a 60 day court date.. That next date the Judge still didn't want to release me,so Shaka got me out on house arrest! He defiantly tried everything ...in his power to get me out,he saved me from doing a lot of prison time he is still fighting for me as I'm writing this!! He's defiantly a beast when it comes to his clients and he never leaves his clients hanging and pushing your court date back he gets the job done fast & professionally.. #team$haka
