I was referred to Steven Topazio via a close friend who had a similar incident that needed consultation/representation. He met with me quickly, responded to my calls/texts promptly. His communication was top notch. His legal strategy was excellent. All in all I'd def recommend Steve.

Steven is an excellent, motivated, friendly, and humble attorney that goes out of his way to explain complex legal issues clearly. He will definitely fight for you. Make sure you provide all necessary information and do follow his advice closely. I visited his office and called him and at both occasions, he listened patiently to all my concerns. Steven is respected by his peers and law enforcement officials. Great job, Steven!! Excellent lawyer in the heart of Boston. I strongly recommend him.

Steven is very knowledgeable in his field. He always kept me informed and knows the system very well. Steven was able to quickly gather information, present his recommendations as to how to handle the case and told me what the likely end result would be. I was facing a felony larceny charge and Steven Topazio was able to get my case dismissed! He is worth every penny!

I HIGHLY recommend Steven and his Law practice, Steven seemed and was a very competent from my first office visit to my "not guilty" verdict. From day one Steven seemed more of a knowledgeable friend then a lawyer to me, Gaining my trust in him and my friendship. I have since moved out of State but still remain in touch with him as he is resolving another non-related issue. You will be hard pressed to find a better lawyer...Thanks again Steve, Brian

Mr Topazio... I cannot say enough about him. Upon first speaking with him about my situation involving a unregistered firearm, he instantly set himself apart from other attorneys I spoke to in the Boston. His consideration, attention to detail, and genuine knowledge and concern about you and your situation make more then a suitable fit for someone who is jammed up and needs counsel in the Boston Metro Area. He was able to get me completely out of a tight spot.I could not recommend him enough.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
