Amazing and HIGHLY Recommend

I am pleased to write this review for Attorney Chris Porreca. I was referred to Chris by a friend for some legal advice on a situation. He immediately returned my call, discussed all the opportunities with me, even before I hired him. What impressed me was that he was willing to take the time to ...speak with me even though I had not yet retained his services. After speaking with Chris, I decided to hire him because he seemed extremely knowledgeable about the law, professional, personable, and I felt very comfortable. He was available for me anytime I needed to speak to him, explained everything to me in detail, and was always completely honest with any outcome that might occur. He worked with the prosecutor and was able to downgrade my charges. I feel that Chris worked extremely hard and put his heart into helping me. And to top it off, the outcome on my case was very favorable. Thank you and your amazing staff, which kept me informed with every detail along the way. Chris would be the first person I would call and the first person I would recommend it to anybody if ever in need of legal services.

Dwi 3rd offense

I hired Chris Porreca for my son with a DWI arrest (3rd offense). Chris is understanding, responsive, knows the laws and goes above & beyond for his clients! I had so many questions, he was always responsive & really cares. He was able to downgrade charges to reckless driving, which is amazing! I... highly recommend him for any type of legal advice you need. I am so grateful to him & his staff for all they have done.

Highly recommended!

If you are looking for honest, favorable legal representation in a DWI or other criminal matter I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Mr. Porreca to handle your legal matters. I was dealing with (what could have been) a major traffic offense. I was a bit hesitant at first, as I initially contacted the firm... via their text line and was reluctant to give any personal information, but Stephanie, Mr. Porreca‘s paralegal instantly made me feel very comfortable and listened to as we initiated the conversation over a phone call. Any correspondences I’ve had with Stephanie, she’s always been super helpful, kind, and I’ve always felt listened to. My initial impression of Mr. Porreca instantly put my mind at ease as he has many, many years of experience with DWI and criminal defense. After researching the website and bio I felt Mr. Porreca was genuine and capable of bringing me the best possible outcome for my situation. Nothing was sugarcoated and I was given best case and worst-case scenario of my situation. Like I said without going into detail, my situation was sort of a unique one so after spending hours upon hours of researching attorneys and weeks on the phone with them, I decided to hire Mr. Porreca to handle my legal issues. I felt his services were extremely affordable, as other attorneys wanted to charge me much more money without even considering my circumstances. As many of the other reviews state, he was almost always available when I called or had questions, and if I had to leave a message either he or Stephanie would promptly get back to me, so it was comforting knowing they were there to help. Long story short, Mr. Porreca got me probably one of the best deals anyone could get me. He got all but one of my charges dismissed, was able to allow me to keep my license, kept me out of jail, and with minimum fines. Like I said my situation could’ve been SO MUCH WORSE but I believe Mr. Porreca fought hard for me because he genuinely cares about his clients and has a passion for what he does. I hired him in May for my incident that happened in March and all of this was resolved by July. I am extremely satisfied with Mr. Porreca’s services and I can’t thank him and his staff enough.

100% would recommend

Christopher did a great job with my criminal case. Him and his secretary, Stephanie, took care of everything while I was in treatment and out of state. Stephanie was great with keeping my family and I informed and up to date with everything going on, and answered any questions that I had quickly. Chr...istopher was also very affordable, especially compared to lawyers I had used in the past, who didn’t put in even half of the work that he did for me. Would definitely recommend.

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.
