I could not have chosen a more experienced, dedicated, and skilled attorney than Ms. Maria Pavlidis as my defense attorney when facing a felony sexual battery charge. After hiring Ms. Pavlidis by referral through a second attorney I hired for the same case, it was clear from the start that Ms. Pavlidis had my best interest at heart. While the other attorney made an assumption that my case would certainly go to trial, Ms. Pavlidis instead focused on addressing each piece of evidence, hearing, and deposition individually as part of a holistic and assertive strategy. Her strategy highlighted the flaws and inconsistencies of the case and drew out the false accusations. Through Ms. Pavlidis’ knowledge, depth of experience, and aggressive defense approach my case was finally dismissed after two years of an exceptional defense. I would not hesitate recommending Ms. Pavlidis as your defense attorney.

Maria is an excellent attorney. She worked very hard for us to achieve the best results possible for our son. She has good relationships with prosecutors, which helped us achieve a plea agreement that we could live with. She truly cared about us and always made us feel that we have a great friend working for us. She is smart and knows her stuff well. She treated us with utmost respect and was always very warm. We know that without her, we would not be where we are today. She invested many hours to our case, and was dedicated. I highly recommend her!

If you are looking for someone that works overtime for their clients, search no further. Maria played a vital part in my criminal defense case. She is super vigilant and looks at a case from all angles; which was pivotal to my defense in my criminal jury trial. Maria was super helpful at making me feel comfortable from a very uncomfortable position. Due to Maria's expertise in picking jurors, opening statements, closing arguments, and direct and cross examination, my peers found me NOT GUILTY. Maria is a blessing to my family and myself.

Maria is a highly trained and skilled attorney. She reviewed my case from all angles and guided me through my legal situation. Maria has such a caring and dedicated spirit that I felt she was "in the battle " with me. Because of her help my case went away. I would definitely hired her again!

Amazing!! Phenomenal!!! Outstanding!! These words don't even come close to describing Maria Pavlidis and her partner Lily. They were committed from beginning to end. Giving their all the whole way thru. Our family would not have made it through this year if it wasn't for their expertise. They are a true blessing to our family and I can't thank them enough. If you are looking for a kick butt professional , Maria is your girl.

A colleague who has had first-hand experience with Lily McCarty and Maria Pavilidis recommended them to me after I had been arrested for a DUI. From the first conversation I had with them over the telephone to the final outcome of my case (great outcome), I could not have asked for a better team. They were honest from the very beginning about the possible outcomes of my case and answered all of my questions and concerns as they came up during my case. Both Lily and Maria attended every meeting that was conducted and appeared at every court appearance that I had to attend. It will put your mind at ease knowing that you have two remarkable individuals working hard for you. Throughout my case, there were ups and downs that occurred (both related and unrelated to my case), and both Lily and Maria would check in with me to see how I was doing. You cannot buy that kind of service, and that is what makes them great at what they do.

Absolute best. I highly recommend Maria . It's wonderful to see honesty and integrity still exists in today's legal system.Maria worked endlessly on a difficult case and was truly well prepared and tenacious when needed.Each motion was thoroughly explained and presented in a professional manner shorting my probation by years.

She was my public defender at the beginning of my case 7 years ago and she did everything possible for me, I never knew she would work that hard for me. She is caring and honest and fights for you every step of the way. I hired her last month to have me early termed and she made it possible through all of her hard work. I appreciate her and to me shes my angel.

Long story short.. had a hard case and she was my public defender she saw through everything and did more than I could have ever thought to defend me, no matter what she was there even on an emotional level you get people who do their jobs because they really love what they are doing, so they do everything to a tee. She was on top of everything even in my darkest times she showed me the light I had hope and a defense that backed it up I truly was blessed to have her on my team. She works, fast,i Was always in the loop, stood her ground. She fights hard there's no backing down for her..she doesn't treat you like another case or number with Maria your a person not another static, she's honest, upfront and driven by a passion for justice! Amazing women and attorney
