Black Lightning of Philly

Upon meeting him he was transparent and honest about my husband's criminal case. My husband has been incarcerated for 15+yrs and needed some advice about his release when a law was passed in his favor. He kept it REAL with us and just gave us some good information to support his case once the second ...case passes. I am anxious to see if he can get released this yr., but we were told to remain patient and hopeful that change was coming and to continue on down the pipeline. Shaka, also encouraged us to stay strong through this lengthy process and to check back in when things support our case.

DUI case

I used Mr. Johnson for a 2nd DUI case I was charged for. Overall I had excellent legal representation. Mr. Johnson has a deep knowledge in handling DUI issues and was able to help me successfully get my case reduced down to community service Without jail time. He took a genuine approach to handling ...my case and was very affordable on my lawyer fees. I would highly recommend Mr. Johnson for criminal issues because I believe I would’ve had to do some jail time had he not been my lawyer.

This guy is the real deal

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.
