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.

Beyond 5 Stars

Mr. Porreca is the most amazing lawyer I've ever had by my side. His assistant, Stephanie was very helpful and kind as well!! Great law firm and team. :) I contacted him, had a consultation, then hired him. I had a simple assault charge in December that occurred in NJ while I was attending a wedding... and the case was dismissed by February. What makes me so thankful to have had Mr. Porreca on my side is that he was very educated, kind, confident, and COMMUNICATED very well and often. The communication was out of this world and very important to me as I live in TX and couldn't be in NJ every court date. Mr. Porreca was willing to help and go above and beyond, literally, in every way he could. He also made it to where I didn't have to attend court in NJ one time which is amazing and saved me so much money that I would have had to spend on a flight and hotel. I could gush about him all day and I recommend him to anybody and everybody. He had my back and best interest at heart. Five Star!!!

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.

Outstanding Attorney

Out of all of my Attorney/Client experiences Chris Porreca is by far the best. Considering my circumstances, and my charges.. There absolutely was no way out of a criminal conviction for a first offense, and yet Chris managed to get me into a first time offender program, and I walked away with no cri...minal conviction which to say the least is a rare occurrence. He always answers calls, is quick to call back to answer any questions one may have, and most importantly explains the entire process in a manner that doesn't sound like legal nonsense. He endlessly pushed to get me the incredible ending I didn't think I had a right to. The District Attorney himself, after just meeting him, told me that Chris jumped through tremendous hoops to get me where he did. I couldn't be more thankful for Chris, and his assistant Rose & their amazing Service, and kindness through this eight month period of chaos. Chris is great, he's easy to talk to, he's not a stiff personality you dread being around, it's a great experience all and all. I totally recommend Chris Porreca to anyone facing the various situations he handles. Just be completely honest, and he will get you the best deal or circumstances.

Highly recommend!

I was very lucky and was fortunately referred to Mr. Porecca by a friend. I never had any dealings with the court system before so I was understandably very nervous. Mr. Porecca was warm, engaging, tactical, direct, astute, savvy and always available! We had a great outcome! I would highly recommend... him!
