Steven is top-notch. He helped me navigate three traffic citations after I’d just moved to the area, where the rules and driving norms can be different from what I was used to. I made a mistake under pressure and ended up with three tickets. I found Steven through ChatGPT—and I’m genuinely glad I did. He took the time to listen, understood the context (including cultural differences that contributed to my decision in the moment), and explained my options clearly. In the end, **all three tickets were dismissed**, and I walked away feeling both relieved and validated. He’s knowledgeable, highly skilled, straightforward, and clearly knows the local courts and process. I recommend him without hesitation.

I have nothing but great things to say about Steven. He is highly experienced, and extremely professional. He is very responsive, very knowledgable, and incredibly intelligent. He made the process very smooth and I am thankful for Steven. I highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of representation.

Appearance, punctuality, speech, and knowledge. Further, Truth... As a vet, I would compare him to a USMC Grunt. He tells you exactly what you're getting into (Tells it, how it is). He knows his trade and not only does he walk the walk, he will represent you with confidence, without a skip or stutter in speech. Everything you need, when being accused. "VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS" as In God we will trust, and we will abide. Steven, I didn't have to take the time to write this or post, or display my families house motto. I wanted to.... I wanted to, because you are a man of character and regardless if we won or lost... You're my lawyer and my friend. Thank you for being both. I'm not adding my full name because I don't want to gloat. As it is not a victory over my soon to be ex wife, yet it is a victory over what is right. Thank you for representing me with every bit of confidence in me, that you did.

Hired Attorney Steven J. Topazio

I had a case dating back almost 26 years in Massachusetts that prevented me from obtaining my CCW. I have not lived in that state since 1995. After some careful research and speaking to a couple of lawyers in the Boston area, I decided to go with Mr. Steven Topazio. He showed genuine concern and jumped on my situation right away. He worked with the DA and managed to get the charges dismissed. I live out in the mountain west and Mr. Topazio took care of this situation without me flying back east to go to court. Without a doubt, this was the best experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. His fee was more than reasonable for all of the footwork he had to put into a case than was more than 2 decades old. I highly recommend Mr. Topazio. Thank you for clearing my name!

Hired Attorney Steven J. Topazio

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.

Hired Attorney Steven J. Topazio

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.
