Lily Saved My Life
If you are looking for someone that is easy to get ahold of, cares about the law, and is not scared of taking cases to trial, search no further. Lily McCarty Gonzalez takes her job very personally and works very intently on her clients’ cases. I was charged with three counts of Aggravated Battery in Seminole County, Florida, which was punishable by up to 60 years in prison. Lily worked along side fellow Tampa attorney Maj Vasigh on my case and they both worked brilliantly together. My case went to trial after dozens of depositions and several motion filings. My trial lasted four days with jury selection and deliberation. Lily is ambitious, confident, astute, and swift under the pressures of trial. Lily understands people and demographics, which is very helpful in her process of picking a jury. Lily was seemingly flawless during direct examination, cross examination and closing arguments due to her extensive preparation and experience in these situations. Upon, three hours of jury deliberation, my peers found me NOT GUILTY on all three counts. Lily and Maj made a great defense team throughout this whole legal battle. Maria Pavlidis, Lily's law partner was pivotal to my preparation for trial and added a vital element to my defense team. Although I didn’t know Lily, prior to her joining my defense team, I never felt like a client through this whole experience; she made me feel like a friend. Lily understands the stress her clients are going through and does everything in her power to make them feel as comfortable and prepared as she possibly can. As annoying as I have been throughout this whole thing, Lily still calls my cell phone(not email) to make sure that I’m doing okay. I don’t know of another attorney that takes their job as seriously or personally as Lily McCarty Gonzalez. It’s been a privilege working with Lily, whom I now consider family.
