DUI Arrest - Great Lawyer, Greater Person

I was arrested for DUI and Disorderly Persons charge as an underage minor. My outcome was the best it was going to get thanks to the connections and hard work of Mr. Porreca. He guided me through the entire process and was always accessible to me to speak via phone or email. His assistant always reac...hed out to me when he was not available and made sure that there was a time for us to speak set aside in the future. I am a good person who made a terrible mistake. However, during times like this, it is very easy to feel like a horrible human being. Mr. Porreca never treated me that way, and always gave me the utmost respect and kept my comfortable throughout the process, which I truly, truly valued. If you are someone who is going through a similar ordeal, I highly encourage you to at least meet him for a consultation. He is the type of person that puts minds at ease when he walks in, trust me, it is worth it.

The right person for the job

I highly recommend Mr. Porreca and his services! Chris recently represented me in a DWI case that had the potential to wreak havoc on my personal and professional life. He and his assistant Stephanie help me manage through the process, alleviating a ton of stress. Initially, I was concerned about ret...aining the right attorney for my matter. I wasn't sure if that person would truly advocate for me or just put me through the motions, leaving me with a poor outcome and another bill. Chris partnered with me on my situation, doing everything possible to ensure an optimal outcome was reached. If you are researching attorneys for your DWI situation, talk to Chris before you talk to any one else. I assure you, his professionalism, approach, and value will make your decision easy. Thanks Chris, you were a tremendous help when I needed it most.

Excellent Experience

Mr. Porreca represented me in a DWI case and went above and beyond to help me resolve my situation. The process itself was stressful and trying, however, Mr. Porreca did everything within his power to ensure that it was taken care of quickly and appropriately. I can't thank him enough for his guidanc...e and reassurance throughout this situation. He researched all available options and resolved my case with the best available outcome. He was easy to reach, communicated well and was always willing to answer any questions that I had. Even after my case was resolved he has made himself available to help me with any remaining concerns I have had. This was the first time I had required legal representation and I am so grateful that I chose Mr. Porreca as my attorney. I would highly recommend him and his office.

Excellent!!!

I did a lot of research in trying to find the best lawyer for my DUI case and I found what I was looking for! I was extremely happy with Chris Porreca and his knowledge of the law. He did everything he could to help me get the best outcome for my case. He is very knowledgeable in his profession and m...akes sure his clients know exactly what their options are. I would highly recommend Mr. Porreca to anyone looking for a lawyer. No matter what kind of case it is, he will work his hardest to make sure he gets the best results for his clients!

Best Attorney!

Mr. Porreca did an awesome job with my case. I always felt safe with him. He is straight forward, plays close to the vest and turns around with winning results! I would recommend him to anyone in my family or any of my friends. My charges of allowing intoxicated person to drive and unopened conta...iner were dismissed thanks to the hard work and dedication he gives to his clients. His retainer was extremely fair. His legal foresight is usually dead on. You could not be in better hands in the municipal court.
