My first word of advice would be to keep yourself out of trouble. But in the event that you are in need of an attorney that knows the law, these streets, and all of the players who can impact your situation in one form or another, Shaka Johnson is the man to call. I'm not interested in going into det...ail, as there is very sensitive things about my case, but give him a call if this is your hour of need and you're in search for a defense attorney.

I retained shaka for a probation violation which my probation officer issued a warrant on a October 26th I went to shaka office on the 27th and by the 29th my motion to remove detainer was filed before any payments were made. Once I made a payment we were waiting on a court date I was arrested on ne...w charges the following week shaka was notified via text message and he appeared at my bail hearing and got the bail commissioner to allow me to get sob. After my Gagnon 1 a vop date was issued and Shaka got my detainer lifted just in time for the holidays and before my fiancé has our baby. I was suppose to go to court in January he got the date pushed up and got my home to fight my case from the streets. Shaka is the best in my eyes he is a man of his word.. and he works with people I didn’t have all the funds to pay him he took what I had and worked on getting me out and now I am home with my family awaiting my new born child... thank you shaka

Mr. Johnson went above and beyond to make sure my reputation remained in tact and that I faced the least possible charge. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My concerns were listened to. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed even wh...en walking into the courtroom and the process was always explained thoroughly in ways I understood. Mr. Johnson fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. He even told me what to expect after the case was over. I was so scared about this DUI and how my day to day would be affected. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks again!!

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.
