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.

When people ask what I do, I’m always proud to say I am a trial attorney; I fight on behalf of my clients in the courtroom whether it’s at trial, a hearing, or in tough negotiations. I understand deeply that dealing with a civil or criminal court case can be at times confusing, frustrating, even terrifying for those outside the system. That is why in my role as an attorney, I work with and listen closely to my clients to demystify this system, help them understand its procedure, and build effective strategies to try to get the best possible outcome for them. When I joined the Miami Public Defender’s office, I learned how to zealously fight for my clients in some of the most high-stakes situations a person can face: when their freedom is in jeopardy. In that fast-paced court system, the arguments I made to the court, the motions I litigated, and the witnesses I called were all that stood between my clients and separation from their families, jobs, and futures. My time as a public defender taught me to litigate both aggressively and strategically and to be a voice for my clients in a court system where no one else would. I have taken the lessons I learned there to my practice today, and proudly use that knowledge behalf of my clients involved in both criminal and civil litigation.

We are not your typical lawyers. What makes us different is the fact that we give away our legal knowledge for free. We do this through the numerous free consumer guides I have authored. These guides are meant to help you make the best possible legal decision for your case. They reveal secrets the insurance adjusters don't want you to know. The reason I wrote these guides is because client education is really important to us. We have found that the more our clients know about the process, the better they make out. So before you speak with an insurance adjuster, sign any forms, or hire a lawyer, be sure to check out these guides, so that you are one step ahead of other people looking for a lawyer.. Choosing a lawyer is a very important decision. Make sure you educate yourself as much as you can, so that you will pick the absolute right lawyer for your case.. See what our clients say about us.. When I am not at the office I enjoy spending time with my family. On the weekends you will find me coacing my son's various sports teams, or playing with Barbies with my angelic daughter. I have a good, and full life, and for that, I am grateful each and every day.. Let us know how we can help you.

The government has thrown a lifeline to our businesses with the 2020 stimulus. Unfortunately, the relief may not be enough for your business.. Many businesses will not make it through this economic turbulence. Landlords will expect rent payments; lenders will send demand letters and may file lawsuits.. Strategy and action are necessary. We can help you to restructure your debts and seek non-bankruptcy alternative to keep your business alive. If negotiations fail, the Small Business Reorganizations Act, effective February 2020, may provide a lifeline. The SBRA allows small businesses to pursue a streamlined bankruptcy that could be considered a forced debt consolidation, with payments to unsecured creditors amortized over three to five years without additional recourse.. We have great experience fighting to help businesses survice and flourish.  We also can help you get your new business started.  Times like these can be surprisingly good for starting new, successful businesses.
