Honest and Straightforward Representation
I needed a DUI/criminal defense attorney, and my daughter recommended Mr. Christopher G. Porreca, Esq. From the moment I met him, Mr. Porreca has been nothing but honest and straightforward with me. He and his paralegal staff were always responsive and kept me updated at every step. Any new developments from the prosecutors or discovery were made available to me quickly. During the court hearing, he made me feel confident that we were working toward the best possible outcome. I am very pleased with the result of my case and Mr. Porreca’s representation. My daughter and I will continue to highly recommend him to others.

Best attorney in the entire state
I’m convinced that Christopher Porreca is the best attorney in the entire state. Back in October of 2023, I got a DUI. I immediately came to Google to look for an attorney in this area, and I landed here probably just like you. I started reading all of Chris’ reviews from previous cases, and I was surprised to see good review after good review, with amazing outcomes. I decided to give him a call to discuss my case. From the very beginning all the way through the end, I knew I could trust Chris and that he had my best interest in mind. Even though I knew I could find a cheaper lawyer somewhere else, I was convinced no one would get me a result like Chris would, and he proved that to me! Instead of getting charged with a second DUI, Chris was able to get the charge downgraded to a reckless driving charge. I normally don’t leave Google reviews, but the outcome Chris was able to get for me given my situation was better than anything I could have ever imagined. If you’re currently in a situation where you need legal help, do yourself a favor and stop looking and hire Christopher Porreca.

I highly recommend this lawyer
Hey, I had a DUI case, and he did a very pretty good job. Only got three months with interlock for my first offense with getting my license suspended. I highly recommend this lawyer… Thank you, Chris! I highly recommend this lawyer.

Grateful to Have Chosen Chris
Extremely glad and grateful to have chosen Chris as my lawyer for my DUI case. My case lasted a bit over a year due to postponing by the town and taking it to trial. Chris was very helpful and informative every step of the way. Any doubt/question was always answered with great detail. Both Chris and Stephanie always got back to me in a timely manner. The DUI was reduced to reckless driving with a 90-day suspension; it was the best outcome I could have expected for my situation. I would recommend Chris and his team to anyone who finds themselves in a tough traffic case.

Great Service and No Jail Time!
In May of 2022, I was stopped for DWI and arrested. I was panicking like crazy! I reached out to the Law Offices of Christopher Porreca for help. I was received with nothing short of great service! Chris helped keep me calm and took his time looking at every possible scenario. In the end, with a little luck and a lot of work, the charges were reduced and received no jail time! I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs help. Thank you, Chris, for all your hard work!
