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!!

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
