Court

The best lawyer you could ever find! He is truly passionate about what he does and knows exactly what he's doing! I got my court case dismissed and I wouldn't have if it wasn't for him! Best lawyer ever once again he won't let you down!!

The Best!

Chris Perreca is an outstanding lawyer. If you are in need of legal help, he is your guy! He has a naturally ability to make you feel at ease with your situation. He helped my husband on several charges, and he introduced me to one of his colleagues because I was in need of a lawyer as well. He... was an incredible source of help during a very disconcerting time.

Very clear, Honest and has a good sense of humor.

I was very satisfied with Mr. Porreca, he clearly explained all the possible options and did a wonderful job executing the case. His sense of humor definitely made the process less stressful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a GOOD lawyer.

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney!

Chris is knowledgeable, trustworthy and truly knows what he's dealing with; not to mention his charismatic personality (which is a great added bonus). It was nice to know that I was being represented by someone who wasn't a push over and whom had positive influence with my case based on his many rela...tionships in the field. He gives his expert recommendation when needed, yet isn't pushy. His advice won my long, drawn-out case and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Chris to family and friends in need, and would welcome his representation again in the future. S.G.

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
