Toland Law Firm, PLLC - Austin, TX

Based in Austin, Texas, Toland Law Firm, PLLC, is a forward-thinking defense firm dedicated to protecting individuals and businesses through high-stakes legal challenges. Our practice spans white collar criminal defense, data privacy and cybersecurity law, state criminal defense, and federal investigations and criminal defense. Whatever the matter – criminal charges, a federal inquiry or a data breach – we combine deep legal insight with practical, results-driven strategy to deliver focused and fearless representation.

Our state criminal defense work covers both misdemeanors and felonies, handled with discretion and an unwavering commitment to our clients' rights. For over two decades, founding attorney Steve Toland has represented professionals, public figures, and everyday Texans in matters ranging from DWI to drug offenses. On the federal level, we defend individuals and corporations facing allegations of embezzlement, fraud, bribery and healthcare fraud, drawing on his extensive experience litigating white collar cases in federal courts nationwide. When investigations escalate, we guide clients through every phase, including Qui Tam actions, SEC proceedings and grand jury matters – recognizing that federal involvement raises the stakes considerably.

As a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP-US), Mr. Toland also serves as a trusted adviser to healthcare organizations and businesses confronting complex data privacy and cybersecurity issues, from building HIPAA compliance programs to managing breach incident response. Beyond the courtroom, he is a respected legal commentator, published author, and sought-after resource for corporations, professionals and national media outlets alike.

Our mission is to redefine what strong defense representation looks like – serving as the first call in moments of uncertainty and standing as a leading voice for justice across Texas and beyond. We remain committed to guiding clients through their most difficult moments with honesty, grit, and proven skill, ensuring their freedom, reputation and future are protected every step of the way.
