Vinny went above and beyond for me my entire drawn out OUI case. From my crack of dawn message to him on June 4th 2019 to my trial November 2021, Vinny was always available, helpful, and reassuring. His knowledge of OUI cases was apparent from our first discussion and he made sure the entire process was as stress free as possible for me. He explained everything clearly in ways I could understand and won my case easily without me ever having to speak in court. His knowledge of the court system and OUI cases made him the obvious choice and I highly recommend him to anyone facing similar situations in Massachusetts. Vinny made my experience as easy as possible and I can not thank him enough!

I just wanted to take a moment and do a review for Attorney Tofani. I had to speak with him about an issue recently and he was very helpful. I had sought his counsel a few years back for a family member who was the victim of a bullying situation that was very difficult. He was of great assistance then and when I spoke with him this week the same was true. I have relied on his judgement many times. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney that you can trust, to give you counsel and that will advocate for you, then contact Attorney Tofani today.

Attorney Tofani was referred to me through friends and was highly recommended. I found myself in a tough situation with no prior criminal history and not sure what to expect. Attorney Tofani was kind, professional and experienced in the system. He was always able to be reached and kept me updated at all times. I am thankful for his service and the results of my case.

I knew from several acquaintances and media releases that Attorney Tofani has handled many high profile criminal cases. Most recently, I needed his professional services. From the moment I first called him, to the final disposition, which was positive, he was on top of his game. Attorney Tofani always explained to me the decisions he recommended and how it would be most effectively applied. I observed how well he is respected by investigators and prosecutors. Most importantly for me, Attorney Tofani was always available to me. If I placed a phone call or text message to him, he immediately responded with well explained advice and was a great comfort to me. I told him that I now understand why attorneys are also called Councilors, because he truly counseled me. I highly recommend the services provided by Attorney Tofani. He is what every lawyer should aspire to be, well educated and experienced, a highly respected gentleman in his field, a friend, a true professional to his profession, all delivered with outstanding results. I am most fortunate to have him as my Attorney and as my friend.

Mr. Tofani started off as just my attorney who was referred to me by a family member. Since then, we have grown our friendship and Mr. Tofani is the only attorney I trust to represent me in all matters because i know that he has my best interests in mind. I'm confident in Mr. Tofani because of his dedication, work ethic, and full team of attorneys available to ensure you are being properly represented. As a young Latino male I would highly recommend Mr. Tofani because he will navigate you through the judicial system professionally, all while still being your friend and making you feel comfortable at all times. I have hired Mr. Tofani for multiple cases so far and will look no further as I know I'm in good hands with him.

My license was suspended because of a DUI I got while in Florida for school. After moving back to Massachuetts I found the process of getting my license back just short of impossible. The criteria set by Florida requires classes not offered in MA, though at first I was told a similar class would be comparable after competition I was then told they wouldn't accept this particular class because it wasn't the same as Florida's.. I spent 5 years without my license because it was hopeless trying to work with the court in Florida as a twenty-something year old girl. Within a month Attorney Tofani was able to get the suspension lifted in Florida and he is the reason I have my license back today.

This case was not my first experience with needing counsel, that being said I was absolutely sure to shop around for my representation. Having been burned in the past by previous attorneys and paying a trial fee for one to two court appearances and an unfavorable outcome, I met with six different firms before making my decision. Eventually I decided on Parker Scheer solely based off of how well my consultation went. Before formally hiring Vincent and Frank, they openly provided invaluable information on my case proceedings and truly solidified my confidence in their representation from day one. My case lasted just under two years and required multiple court appearances, all of which either Vincent and/or Frank were waiting for me in the lobby when I arrived. Throughout the entire case and even after the not guilty outcome was decided, they continued to keep me well informed and provide guidance until my issue was completely resolved. This has been the fifth firm I have ever hired and hopefully/would be the last. I highly recommend this firm as one of the top trial firms in Boston.

Attorney Tofani helped me out with a domestic violence incident. My situation was very unique and through his hardwork and excellent legal skills, attorney Tofani was able to achieve the best possible outcome. His knowledge and dedication to my case along with his ability to foster strong relationships with the prosecution kept me confident that he would be able to deliver the results he promised. I would highly recommend Attorney Tofani for anyone facing any criminal charges. You will not be disappointed.
