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.

Very thorough

Chris handles my case very professionally and in a exceptionally timely manner. He notices the judge had missed something on a previous matter and had the ruling overturned.

Careless driving

My son is 17 and got a careless driving ticket,. He was worried about going to court. Mr Porreca went above and behind to make him feel comfortable. He fought for him and got the results we hoped for. Mr Porreca is the best attorney I came across so far. I highly recommend him.

Honest and easy to communicate with

Chris was very helpful in representing my father during a legal situation in Morris County. He provided us with honest answers and helpful suggestions on how to best handle the problems we were facing. He was always prompt in responding to questions we had and would speak with us directly when we c...alled, or would return our call quickly if we left a message. His Office Assistant, Rose, was always pleasant & courteous whenever we called the office. Would recommend Mr. Porreca to friends and relatives.

Excellent guy to have on your side.

Mr. Porreca was a great person to have on my side. Throughout the duration of my situation, he was always available and willing to answer any questions or concerns I may have had. Not only could I tell that he was confident in what he was doing but I could tell that h cared about my situation and rea...lly worked hard for me to receive the best outcome! I will definitely refer Mr. Porreca to my friends and family because he got the job done for me
