Mr. Porreca did an awesome job with my case. I always felt safe with him. He is straight forward, plays close to the vest and turns around with winning results! I would recommend him to anyone in my family or any of my friends. My charges of allowing intoxicated person to drive and unopened container were dismissed thanks to the hard work and dedication he gives to his clients. His retainer was extremely fair. His legal foresight is usually dead on. You could not be in better hands in the municipal court.- CJ

Where Clients Are the Priority and Results Are Extraordinary
The state of New Jersey inflicts harsh legal penalties on individuals convicted of serious crimes - that's why I manage my case load so that I am able to devote my attention to the individual demands of your circumstances. Many times, I am able to identify an integral flaw in the prosecution's case. Once I find it, I can use it to your advantage in the courtroom to create a strategic defense plan.
-
If I think I can defend myself, should I talk to the police?No. Despite your first impulse to begin defending yourself, the wisest thing you can do for yourself is remain silent until your criminal defense attorney arrives at the police station. Being arrested is nerve-racking and when people are nervous, they can share information that will end up hurting them down the road. The police officers arresting you have one objective and that is to gather enough evidence for the prosecution to incriminate you, this may or may not include the information you share with them. A legal professional will know the right time to share the right information in order to protect you from conviction.
-
If I am arrested, do the police have to read me my rights?Your Miranda rights must be read to you if any statement you make can be used against you. If the case against you is strong enough that the prosecution does not need a statement from you in order to proceed, the police do not have to read you your rights. The Miranda warning is required only when the prosecution intends on using your statements at trial. Never agree to speak to anyone until you consult a skilled lawyer from my firm.
-
If I refuse to answer questions or give a statement about any involvement in or knowledge of a crime, can I be charged due to myNo. Under the Fifth Amendment, you absolutely have the right to not say anything that might incriminate you. The police may try to intimidate you into believing that not cooperating will lead to more severe consequences later. They may also promise leniency but remember, the police are allowed to lie when they are trying to get you to incriminate yourself. Don't offer them any information and don't let them bait you into an argument.Law enforcement will do everything they can to build their case against you. If you want to protect your rights, you need my firm by your side.I will not be intimidated and I will aggressively fight to protect you.

Have you been accused of driving while intoxicated? Depending on the severity of your charges and the circumstances surrounding your arrest, DWI may be punishable by prison time and exorbitant fines. According to the State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), the only scientific way to determine whether or not a motorist is driving under the influence of alcohol is through a blood Alcohol concentration (BAC) test. In most cases, BAC is tested with a Breathalyzer test.
