I consider Ms. Pavlidis one of the hardest working and most tenacious attorneys, that I have had the privilege of working with in the past. She simply cannot be outworked or intimidated. I have personally seen her take on some of the most toughest cases in major crimes and single handily outshine the prosecution, stand her ground with the judges and handle the media as if it was second nature, all while giving her client the best chance at success. I look forward to working with her again. I highly endorse Maria Pavlidis.

I had a very difficult physical child abuse case and I sought out the advice and counsel of Ms. Pavlidis because her reputation preceeded her in such matters. Although a young lawyer, she has more courtroom experience than practitioners twice her age. She is an intelligent, talented and gifted lawyer who fights to the end for her clients. I strongly endorse her for anyone facing criminal charges. It is a privilege to know her.
