Resolving Problems under Criminal and Civil Law in Boston

For the advice of an experienced courtroom lawyer equally comfortable with criminal defense and civil litigation, contact the Massachusetts law firm of Steven J. Topazio. We offer free consultations in both criminal and personal injury matters, and we provide practical solutions for people with serious legal problems.

I am result oriented, seeking, above all else, to help my clients achieve their objectives in the most timely, economical and successful manner. The philosophy of my office emphasizes an aggressive defense yet a caring response to my client's needs, as well as an extensive and creative approach, enabling my clients to successfully benefit from my office's experience and long-term local presence.

For the peace of mind of knowing that you will get the best possible resolution of your case at reasonable fees, please contact Steven J. Topazio. My thousands of hours of court experience have given me a clear insight into how prosecutors and judges think, and what they are looking for. This experience has been invaluable in preparing defenses for trial and in negotiating favorable dispositions for my clients.

Creative Problem Solving
I look for creative ways to solve my clients' legal problems. This starts with creative approaches to issues involving law enforcement and prosecutors. If a case reaches the sentencing stage, I look for creative approaches to sentencing. I always try to find ways to mitigate sentencing and avoid incarceration, often by emphasizing rehabilitation.

Legal Reputation

I have an excellent reputation as a Criminal Defense lawyer in the community for my ability to analyze and evaluate a case, prepare a strong defense for trial, and/or obtain a favorable outcome for my clients.

Unlike other firms, you will always meet with me, not an "office manager" or "paralegal". I am accessible to my clients at all times and I am prepared to address any of their concerns they have regarding their case. What sets me apart from my competition is that I am a skillful negotiator and able adversary in court, who aggressively pursues his clients' interests. However, I also have a reputation among law enforcement officers and prosecutors for practicing criminal law with compassion and integrity, giving me credibility and allowing me to establish important professional relationships.

Personal Injury Litigation

No matter the extent of your injury, no matter how complex the issues involved in your personal injury claim, the Law offices of Steven J. Topazio know what to do. I understand the legal and emotional aspects of a personal injury. I get results for injured people and grieving families who have suffered catastrophic personal injuries or the loss of a loved one due to a wrongful death.

Proving Your Case
The first step in a successful personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death case is proving negligence on the part of another individual or company. The Law Offices of Steven J. Topazio has the resources needed to work with leading experts in the field of accident investigation and reconstruction.

My office operates on a contingency fee basis, which means our clients owe us nothing until we win or settle their case. We advance all costs, fees, and third-party expenses until the case is complete. This fee structure allows us to provide all of our clients with quality legal representation regardless of their income level. If we're not successful, our clients owe us nothing.

Personal attention for criminal defense and negligence claims

In both criminal defense and personal injury matters, we understand that legal problems can complicate your life in ways that go far beyond absence from work or the risk of a jail term. Not too many of our clients have ever given much thought to the risk of an accident or the chance of an arrest, and either of these can create serious havoc in your life. We therefore take the time to help you understand your situation in both legal and practical terms, and give you the information and advice you need to make the best possible decisions for yourself, both to resolve the immediate problem and to protect your long term interests.

You'll find that our approach to client service in both criminal cases and personal injury emphasizes personalized attention to your specific problem. We tap into a wide range of professional skills to help you achieve your objectives: our ability to listen, accurate assessment of litigation risk, negotiation skills, investigative skills, and the capacity to work with experts whenever necessary to prove your case or support your defense. While each of these attributes can be highly effective for keeping your case out of court, our track record of success at trial indicates that they also come in handy in court.
