Attorney Topazio is very professional, experienced, patient, and approachable. Among many criminal defense lawyers I’ve talked to, he is definitely the best. He is really good at what he does and answered all my questions related to the case. With his help, my case was dismissed. What a relief! I highly recommend him!

Being a professional I was very concerned about what would appear on possible background checks after a dismissed criminal case against me. I hired Greg after consulting numerous other lawyers, there was no question that he was the most knowledgeable atty in this field. There were several errors in my FBI record (where all arrested people end up regardless of outcome) and Greg got the corrections done effectively and was very responsive/communicative and professional throughout the process. Greg is an extremely competent, thorough and focused lawyer. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to correct or amend an erroneous criminal record or any other top-quality legal service in criminal matters.

I highly recommend Attorney Greg Johnson. Greg represented me for a DUI that I was accused of. Due to extenuating circumstances (my changing lawyers etc) my case kept getting continued for over 3 years until Atty. Johnson brought my case to trial. Greg stands out from other lawyers due to the unique combination of professional expertise, ethics and personal skills he has. From the first time I consulted with Greg on the phone, I knew by the way he listened to my information and the questions that he asked me about my case that I could be confident in him representing me. I previously had hired another lawyer from another firm that I did not feel was representing my best interests so I changed lawyers and was very anxious about making that change. I am so thankful that I did. I feel that my previous lawyer could have never brought me the results that Greg did in the courtroom. During my first meeting with Greg, he spent considerable time gathering all the information from me. At the end of our first meeting, he explained in detail how he would represent me, the costs I could expect and a specific plan to move forward. Greg kept in contact with me whenever he had questions or heard any updated information regarding my case. Whenever I had a question, Greg got back to me with the answer to my questions within the day. In addition, Lisa Yager, the paralegal who also works at Yannetti law firm was always so personable and helpful in answering any questions I had when I called the office. Over the course of time, I had to make a number of appearances in court due to my case being continued. Whenever a court appearance was scheduled, Greg contacted me ahead of time so that I would know what to expect. Greg was always early for any court appearances and met with me before going into the courtroom to review what would happen in the courtroom. He is the ultimate professional. Greg has a somewhat quiet, polite manner while he simultaneously exudes confidence and commands respect from opposing colleagues and the judge. His attention to detail, knowledge of the law and his presentation of information in a confident respectful manner resulted in my case being dismissed during the trial. I was thrilled with the outcome of my case. I attribute the success entirely to Atty. Greg Johnson. Being accused of a DUI Is horrible on so many levels. If however, that should ever happen, I can assure you that Atty. Greg Johnson will treat you with respect, dignity and honesty and represent you to the very best of his ability. He is an outstanding lawyer!

Attorney Topazio is the best attorney I have ever met. He is kind, compassionate, and obviously loves what he does. He always calls you back, listens to what you have to say and is there to help in anyway he can. I highly highly recommend Attorney Topazio. If I ever need help again he is the very first Attorney I would call. Thank you very much Attorney Topazio for all you have done and all you do. I truly appreciate everything.

Steve Topazio is the best criminal defense lawyer in Boston. Period. I got myself into a bad situation and was being sued for over 300k. I must have called every law office in Boston trying to find the best attorney for my situation. After dozens of calls and conversations, I reviewed my call notes in order to make a decision. There was something about talking to Steve that made me call him again and hire him. Long story short, in 1 phone call the following day, he got the suit dropped to 150k. Pretty good right? It gets better. Within about 2-3 weeks of negotiating on my behalf, he got the suit down to an unbelievable $7,500! That's about 2.5% of the initial suit. The man is a master at what he does. You'd be a fool to not hire him asap if you get in trouble.

I never thought I would have to find a lawyer but it happened. I have searched over internet for lawyers and made many calls to find a good lawyer. Some are not optimistic with my cases, some just asked for credit card without understanding the problem. When I made a call to Steve, he explained to me his approach very patiently. I made my mind to hire him immediately without even asking for his projection on my case. He is very PROFESSIONAL and is very patient. He works hard and enjoys his job a lot. He is very talent in his job. I can tell he had a very good relationship with folks on court, police etc. and he had a good reputation there. With the help of Steven, my case was dismissed at hearing. Event clerk asked me to thank Steve. I strongly recommend him to whoever in need of help!

I was charged with first offense OUI - Liquor. This was my first criminal charge I have ever received so naturally I was horrified & nervous. The occupation I hold requires a driver's license & a clean background thus a criminal conviction would result in termination / loss of pension. Greg is quite personable and actually listens to his client in thoughts or ideas on the case as opposed to blowing them off which my first attorney was doing (I ended up firing him mid way through and selecting Greg to continue). I hired Greg to defend me due to the good reviews online and a verbal positive review from an ADA I know that worked in the same court system as Greg when he was an ADA. ATTY Johnson came very well prepared. His stature in the courtroom was tactful yet spontaneous. Any new information / surprise responses from the police officer or ADA , Greg was able to retort with ease. Also, Greg did an excellent job sizing up the jurors on the jury selection as he appears to be simply good at reading people. Additionally, he selected and prepped an expert witness which was monumentally beneficial towards my case. Lastly, his closing argument was artfully put together and well spoken which ultimately pushed towards a NOT GUILTY verdict from a 6 person jury box whom deliberated for all of 10 minutes. I now have my life back. Thank you, Greg.

Greg is a fantastic attorney. Very professional, well spoken, and generally a nice guy. Response time was practically instant. I was summoned as a witness and did not want to testify. The DA had already called me in to question me and I did not have a lawyer at the time. They informed me that I would be required to attend the trial no matter what. I met with him for the first time the day before the trial to discuss the summons letter. His confidence put my stress at ease. The following day he took care of everything for me and I never even had to set foot in the court room. Greg Johnson is a champion.

I'm a 31yr old woman who had a 6yr old warrant out of BMC and other cases out of Charlestown District for money owed. From the minute I called Yannetti Law Firm I was confident I was in good hands. The consultation was free and the cost was more than reasonable. Attorney Greg Johnson after about a week had me in and out of court in one day with no added probation just had to pay money owed in both courts. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and I have to say I know realize why it is worth it. Attorney Greg Johnson was the attorney who handed my case in court but I spoke to David first who called me on a Sunday after I sent a email to their office. I was amazed with how fast I was contacted and any questions I had Lisa was more than happy to get me answers. Can't say thank you enough to the Greg Johnson and the Yannetti Law Firm.

I recently encountered an incident where I urgently needed representation in an unexpected case. Searching the web I came up with Steven Topazio based on the reviews. Steven lived up to his reputation and was able to obtain a dismissal from the judge.The process took a couple of months where Steven systematically pealed the onion till he got the dismissal judgement. He truly is an experienced and competent professional. I strongly recommend Steven without any hesitation knowing that he would give you the best representation possible.
