Morristown Child Endangerment Lawyer

Child Endangerment Charges in New Jersey (N.J.S. 2C:24-4)

Child endangerment is a serious accusation that involves injury to a child, endangering his or her life, putting the child's safety at risk, using unreasonable force, using torture, depriving the child of necessities, or permitting the continual sexual abuse of a child where it is possible to stop it. In many cases, the individual may have been fearful for his or her life or the life of the child had any action been taken.

Child endangerment is a serious criminal charge in the state of New Jersey. Being charged with any crime, let alone a sex crime, is frightening and full of uncertainty. The court is tough on those accused of sex crimes and seeks to make an example out of those that are convicted. I understand that not everyone accused of a sex crime is guilty as charged. I deal with every single one of my clients on a personal level and am proud of my responsive legal representation.

Fight Your Charges in Morris County!

I return calls and am there for my clients throughout the process. It is important to me that they have a full understanding of where their case stands and that they are never in the dark about the status of their case. Hiring a Morristown​ criminal defense attorney who is experienced in sex crimes can markedly increase your chances of walking away from your charges unscathed. The alternative is jail time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record marking you as a sex offender.

I have helped many clients who did not know where to turn. Some of the clients that I have assisted had no knowledge of any wrongdoing being done to the child and were shocked and devastated upon finding out. If you have been charged with child endangerment, you need to protect yourself by speaking with an attorney that has the experience needed to successfully defend you.

  • 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.. Chris is 10 stars with me and now my whole family, for a lot of different things 😏😏. Thank you Chris for so many different things 😏 You only get BEST when YOU choose the Best!!!
