Excellent Attorney

I hired Chris as my attorney for a criminal matter. I had consulted with a couple of other attorneys however after meeting with Chris I know he was the right guy. He answered all of my questions, he explained all the possible outcomes (he did not sugarcoat the worst case scenario he was very upfront ...about it which was very valuable), and he gave me reassurance that we would get through this case. At one point the prosecutor was really giving my case a hard time and wanting things that just simply weren’t possible for my family. Chris fought with the prosecutor to get me the absolute best possible outcome. If I ever had any questions he was simply a phone call away. If he was not available at that moment I knew very promptly I would be getting a return call. In addition his fees were very reasonable and he was willing to work with my family. I pray that I am never in any similar situation however if I were or any of my family or friends were Chris would be my first call!!!

Hired Chris Porreca for a legal matter - he was excellent. He straightforward, right to the point, gave us all the facts - yet easy to work with & personable at same time. He was able to negotiate a plea with prosecutor that kept my family member out of jail & kept the case from dragging on a...nd clogging up the court system. I highly recommend Chris - I will keep his card in my wallet from now on. Although I hope I won't have a need - but I would not hesitate to call him again if I do need legal counsel for a criminal matter.

Dui Specialist 2 D Dui"s and only 90 day Suspension

Chris is by far the best lawyer I have yet to meet and a true magician with the magic he works. Last year I had gotten not 1 but 2 Dug's in the time span of 1 month. I was looking at at least 3 months of jail time and a 2 year state minimum loss of my license. It was perhaps the most month of. my lif...e until I met with Chris. Chris promised me he would work hard and that he did. My suspension of 90 for 2 Dui's was amazing because just for 1 Dui it is a 7 month license suspension and I had gotten 2 and was punished for the cost of not even 1. He truly is an amazing lawyer and super cooperative person too work with. Unlike most your other boring lawyers Chris is actually great to talk with cause not only does he understand your situation he mades you feel better with his enthusiastic personality.

Amazing

Chris Porecca is by far the best attorney you could ever hope to work with. He explains every single possible outcome from the beginning, sets up an action plan, and delivers!!!! He got my case DISMISSED! Had I not hired him I would not have know it were even a possibility for my scenario. I highly r...ecommend Mr. Porecca for any legal services. I would hire him again in the future for any legal needs.

100% would recommend

Christopher did a great job with my criminal case. Him and his secretary, Stephanie, took care of everything while I was in treatment and out of state. Stephanie was great with keeping my family and I informed and up to date with everything going on, and answered any questions that I had quickly. Chr...istopher was also very affordable, especially compared to lawyers I had used in the past, who didn’t put in even half of the work that he did for me. Would definitely recommend.
