Murder/Homicide

Aggressive Representation
for Homicide Clients

The need for strong defense in a murder or homicide case is obvious. At stake — your freedom, your future, perhaps even your life. It is not simply enough to have an attorney who claims to understand the gravity of the charge. You need a lawyer who can offer something concrete to help your defense.

At the Philadelphia office of Shaka Johnson, Esquire, our attorneys build your defense based on concrete and proven experience building prosecution cases in murder trials. With decades of legal practice and hundreds of trials shared among our attorneys, we have the strong and reliable ability to pursue an aggressive defense for you.

As attorneys that have experience both as prosecutor and defender in murder trials, we know the system, we know the law and we know how to expose weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

At the Philadelphia law office of Shaka Johnson, Esquire, we work with all criminal law clients in state and federal court, putting the proven record and reliable experience of our veteran attorneys to work for clients.
