Very Professional

Helped my son for very high speeding violation on NJ Turnpike. Got case dismissed. What I truly appreciated, beyond the outcome, was the professionalism of Mr. Porreca. Efficient. Brief but polite. No unnecessary, wordy e-mails. Never wasted my time. Incidentally, very competent and responsive... assistant / paralegal.

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.

Great attorney to work with

Mr. Porreca was great at handling my False Identification and under age alcohol possession case. He always kept me in the loop and constantly was sending updates. This was the first time I ever got in any legal trouble and if I ever do again Chris will be the first person I call. I would recommend h...im to anyone.

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.
