Proactive and follow through!

As a green card holder immigrant, it was very important for me to hire a strong defense attorney, who would not only fight for my rights but also also keep me in check with immigration complexities. Chris proactively consulted immigration attorney for my case and worked hard to negotiate with the pro...secution attorney. Chris was also upfront with the $ amount it would cost me under various stages of the case if we needed to exercise them. His transparency and due diligence throughout the process made me very comfortable. He was easy to work with and very upfront in laying down various options. He walked me through the entire court proceedings in advance and was always available to listen and answer my questions. Thanks Chris for getting the best possible outcome.

Excellence legal council

When you need legal guidance it is critical that you have knowledgeable and judicious legal representation. But beyond that you need someone that can quickly assess the situation and provide the proper guidance. Chris was great; clearly communicating the circumstances, providing an honest assessmen...t of the situation and guiding me quickly through the process. He was concise in his responses and accurate in the events- helping advise me through the system without having much impact on my day to day life. Highly recommended representation.

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.

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!

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.
