About
With more than 30 years of trial experience in the area of criminal law, Attorney Topazio has become a well-qualified criminal defense lawyer whose professional skills have become equally suited to the resolution of both criminal as well as personal injury law. Though felony or misdemeanor defense and negligence litigation involve entirely different legal principles and procedural rules, there are many parallels between them that tap into the same skill set and client service values that Attorney Topazio has developed. Both involve the protection of individual rights against powerful institutions — government prosecutors and insurance companies and both often depend on your lawyer's skill with handling evidence — facts relating to guilt or innocence in the former, and facts relating to liability and damages in the latter. Boston Criminal Lawyer Steven J. Topazio has adopted a tough and aggressive approach to solving cases which delivers the highest legal representation you can obtain anywhere in Massachusetts.

As 24 year old nurse I'd never thought in a million years that I would need a lawyer. Being involved in a criminal case is so extremely stressful. I feel so lucky to have had Steven as my lawyer. Not only was he professional and has so much expertise in this field, he is a very kind and compassionate individual. I never hesitated to call him if I had any question or was stressed about the case. He always made sure I understood everything that was going on and explained to me the process thoroughly. I am so grateful that I had Steven representing me.
Steve was professional, on point, organized, strategic while helping a friend of mine who was falsely accused in a sexual assault case. If it weren't for Steve, things could have gone tragically wrong for my friend. Steve assessed the situation very quickly and was able to support my friend in a last minute court hearing. We met with him the only the night before the hearing and he was a pleasure to work with during a very stressful time. Thank you, Steve! You were such a help. My friend and I am eternally grateful.
Attorney Steven Topazio assisted my family in a private matter and was very successful in getting it resolved. He has a lot of empathy and is very fair, honest, knowledgeable and a respected attorney. If you are looking for someone with these qualities, hire him, Attorney Topazio is the attorney for you!
Attorney Topazio has been thoroughly professional, diligent and skillful in navigating through the defense of the assault and battery charges (domestic violence) against me. He has been patient as the case hearings got postponed multiple times due to covid and and used all his experience in getting the case dismissed. I would recommend him for anyone looking for a true professional with knowledge, experience and skill to get you out of tricky situations.
Steven took my case on and was completely upfront about my situation. He spoke to me honestly and walked me through the process of my case. He was able to negotiate that the case be dismissed and everything was dropped. I would 100% hire Steven again in a heartbeat and am very happy with everything he provided!
I was a victim of domestic violence and Attorney Topazio was able to get the restraining order extended for 1 year. He's absolutely knowledgable and very responsive! If I have any issues, Attorney Topazio would be the first one I would talk to.
I was blessed to work with Steven Topazio. I was dating a vicious person that literally tried to destroy my well-being and career with inaccurate accusations. I literally did nothing wrong and was a victim of physical and psychological violence myself but all of a sudden got into serious trouble. I thank god for hiring Steven Topazio. Yes he is extremely knowledgeable as a layer and has significant experience but the best part of the experience was that he (1) took the time to explain to me how the system works and how everyone is trying to protect themselves at the first place and most importantly (2) he stood by me as a father providing amazing psychological support. Not only my record is clean, but I also feel I made a great friend, a warm-hearted human being that enjoys helping people get out of trouble. 5 stars is not enough for Steven.
I hired Steven Topazio for a number of criminal charges related to a traffic violations ticket - he was kind, reassuring, personable and a pleasure to work with. Most importantly he negotiated the most favorable possible outcome for my case - a better result than I had even hoped for going in. He minimized my time in court and any ramifications of my charges and came to a very quick and optimal settlement with the DA. He is very soft-touch in his communications but he knows the minutest of rules and courtroom dynamics to be able to negotiate effectively on his client's behalf. I was extremely impressed and felt at ease and taken care of in his hands. His combination of genuine empathy, common sense, shrewdness in negotiations and courtroom experience and savvy makes him uniquely powerful and reassuring to work with. I'm truly grateful to him for the grace and effectiveness with which he handled my case and I would recommend him most highly to anyone in need of an attorney for the types of charges he handles.
Attorney Topazio represented me on an unexpected, misunderstood, and complex case. I was facing the possibility of jail time. The process took several court dates. He always showed up on time and ready to go. Attorney Topazio is a knowledgeable and well-respected attorney who was able to peel back the onion until he got a dismissal judgement. He is a humble person but you get the impression that he hates to lose. Not only will he fight for you, he will definitely give your case his all. If I did not hire him, I would've been in a much worse position in life. I have a great career and none of this would have been possible without his assistance. Should I need representation or advise, he would be the first one I would talk to. I highly recommend him. Thank you very much Attorney Topazio for your representation.
I was first referred by my ex-girlfriend’s friend’s father who is a judge in New York. He highly recommended me Attorney Topazio. He was very responsive and took good care of me by giving me assurance (I was a nerve wrack). I hired him, and my issues were resolved promptly. As a result, I was able to refocus on my studying. Then, I hired him again for the second time. Yup, my issues were resolved and won the case. Then, I went back to my home country the following year, and I had some issues I was dealing with back in Boston. I was able to call Attorney Topazio for some advices oversees. He was extremely helpful and I was able to resolve it again. My most recent case with Attorney Topazio was also a success, of course. I hired Attorney Topazio for two motor vehicle moving violations in one ticket. Frankly, I have an awful driving record, and that would have counted as my three violations, and I was about to lose my license. When Attorney presented my case in front of the magistrate, the magistrate removed one of the violation but offered reduced penalty for speeding. We went outside of the court room to chat to see if another appeal is necessary. Attorney Topazio said “let’s wait for everyone to leave the room, and I will see what I can do”. We went inside the court again. Yup, of course, he turned around this lost case to a 4 hour driver’s educational course and found not responsible for both. He is fantastic. He is a magician. I would recommend Attorney Topazio to anyone who need the successful and satisfying results. If I have any issues, Attorney Topazio would be the first one I would talk to.
