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

Juvenile Defense

I hired Shaka to represent my son on a juvenile criminal matter, he handled the case with great ease and walked us through every turn of the case. And at the end of the Day he beat our case. I would recommend him to all my friends and family. Great Job!!!

"Mr. Make a lil somethin outta nothin"

I fired my previous attorney and retained Mr. Johnson all within a weeks time. The first time that I spoke with him was on a Sunday and he called from his office (signs of great work ethic). Once we met and discussed the matter, I left his office feeling confident of both his skill and knowledge. Thi...s is what we call a "SHARK" People!.. A "Hungry lawyer that will eat da case" He goes hard for his clients and makes them and their families feel like a priority. Unlike other lawyers who take your money, talk to you any kind of way (WHEN they do decide to take your calls) and offer no assurance of even beating your case. Shaka is taking Jail calls, making official visits and offers fair prices! If you can't afford an attorney then you shouldn't be doing sh!t to need one. I'm writing this from the comfort of my home b/c he kept me and hundreds of folks out of jail. SALUTE TO THAT MAN and PHUCK A HATER! Esp the ones who bread wasn't right. Thats the only time a lawyer don't get back w/u or show up to your hearings... i mean, if u can't pay 'round here then stay from 'round here. Bottome line. If THIS review is not enough then check Twitter or instagram and see what they have to say on there.. they keep his name up and down the timelines, talkin bout how he got Johnny Cochrane stats and got them and/or their folks off... Hire Shaka!!
