Two Words "SHAKA JOHNSON"

Went to meet this man after firing my first lawyer because he wanted to settle before reviewing the case and got to consult with Shaka the first day meeting him was greeted and hugged. The next day after hiring him was told to come into the office to sit down with staff and to prep my defense. He mo...ved faster than any other defense attorney I know and he showed up to court ready to defend me. He kept it real about the odds of certain charges and helped me put together mitigation he did not let the prosecutors bully me into taking a deal and gave me my life back. He fought a crazy fight with me and did not give up on me instead he fought even harder when he thought that the prosecutor was being unfair and got me a fair outcome. I highly recommend this man who I call a BROTHER after defending me aggressively to make sure I was given a second chance at life. The entire time he represented me it felt like family more than a business relationship to me. This case was not BUSINESS for him it was PERSONAL to where he wanted to make sure I was satisfied at the end of the day. Thanks to Shaka Johnson and the Rest of the team for my BEST OUTCOME.

Best around!

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!!

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!
