CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Being charged with any crime is a frightening experience.
This is especially true for a person who has never had contact with the criminal justice system. Suddenly, you find yourself thrust into a world you never imagined you would be a part of. You are subjected to indignities you never thought you would experience. The stress of being the subject of an investigation or the trauma of being arrested and booked into a jail can truly be overwhelming. A criminal conviction following an arrest can affect your job, your family and impact the way others view you. If you are not a citizen, a criminal conviction can get you deported.
DON'T WAIT TO GET HELP.

Results-Oriented, Detail-Driven Legal Representation
Boston Criminal Defense Attorney Steven J. Topazio's practice serves people with highly diverse legal needs: criminal defense clients, car accident victims, or people who need help with the expungement of old misdemeanor records. At Steven J. Topazio, Attorney at Law, our ability to resolve such a wide range of problems reflects our experience, our commitment to individual interests and concerns, and our skill in court.
With more than 24 years of trial experience in the areas of criminal law and personal injury law, Steven J. Topazio's professional skills are equally suited to the resolution of these matters. Though felony 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:
- Criminal defense and personal injury litigation both involve the protection of individual rights against powerful institutions — government prosecutors and insurance companies
- Both are confusing and inherently threatening — nobody plans on getting hurt in an accident or getting arrested for a crime
- Both are adversarial in nature — you're facing an opponent who wants the opposite of what you want
- Both can be resolved either through effective negotiation or at trial
- The results in both criminal defense and personal injury cases will often depend on your lawyer's skill with handling evidence — facts relating to liability and damages in the former, and facts relating to guilt or innocence in the latter
A Commitment to Client Well-Being
Steven J. Topazio realizes that the experience and skill that serve his criminal defense clients well are highly useful in personal injury matters — and the other way around.
