Your Case Becomes My Mission & Every Mission Is Possible

Morristown Juvenile Defense Attorney

Juvenile Crimes in New Jersey

A minor can be charged with any crime that any adult can. The only difference is that juvenile cases will most likely be heard in a juvenile court and be subjected to a different set of punishments. It is important to preserve your child's clean record as they can have great difficulty in employment, education, and other issues if they don't have a skilled defense lawyer managing their case.

The Law Offices of Christopher G. Porreca, P.C. can engage in negotiations with the prosecution to have your child's charges reduced or dropped, or to seek alternative sentencing, based upon the charges involved. It is important that you retain a Morris County criminal defense attorney for your child's charges.

  • I met Mr Christopher Porreca somewhere back into 2006 I sat and watched him in a courtroom and I noticed he can speak to both sides so in the hallway of the courthouse I asked Mr Porreca if he would be interested in taking my case I needed the BEST, and Chris has always come on top for me. Most recently my nephew needed his help, Chris under promised and way over delivered. Chris is a very straight forward, no double talk. He's of the people, for his ppl!! 😉 Chris is very personable and generous with his time, he Never rushes the client, Chris listens and asks questions, expects the truth. We can't work from a lie..
