Intelligent, Hardworking, Upfront No BS DUI Attorney, The Best!

I hired Mr. Porreca on several DUI cases for my son. The first one I didn;t even know him and I just took a chance and what a case he presented since he was a minor at the time. He knew his stuff in front of the Judge. The second DUI which didn;t think would happen again, I of course called him, t...his time was going to be tougher and Mr. Porreca was more concerned to convince the Judge to put him into rehab rather than jail. He did everything right in order for him to get himself help. Mr. Perreca I can;t say enough about him, he will spend hours counseling your client about the effects of what can and will happen and this can ruin their lives. He really honestly cares about people. He is such a great guy. He tells it like it is, so don;t be alarmed if he acts hostile he just tells the truth, he goes far and beyond his way to help others. He is amazing, I can;t say enough about him and how much of a father figure he was to my son. I know of other kids he has helped and turn to him and he always returns phone calls and even meets with them to just talk to them to get them in the right direction. You need this attorney, One of a kind guy! He might seem mad a lot but don;t take that towards you or your clients, b/c he is so concerned helping he just gets so frustrated and really truly cares! His fees are reasonable and he usually goes out of his way to help you. There were times, my son could;t get to court and he picked him up, what attorney does that! He will follow up with his clients too to see how they are doing. I used a lot of criminal attorneys older than him, and they did not do half the work that Mr. Porreca did. At such a young age he is brilliant, and will do the very best b/c he works so hard to help others get back on the right track. He also has a great sense of humor which helps in these situations. Great Attorney!

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.

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.
