Set to inspire audiences is the latest courtroom drama series from GMA Network, “Lilet Matias: Attorney-At-Law.” Headlining the series is Kapuso Little Princess Jo Berry as Atty. Lilet Matias, a little person with a big purpose in life. Her character takes pride in her self-worth and dreams despite hardships and criticisms.

Joining the cast of “Lilet Matias: Attorney-At Law” are some of the most respected artists in the industry: Maricel Laxa as Atty. Meredith Simmons, a feisty lawyer who has a heart for the marginalized sector; Sheryl Cruz as Patricia, a former beauty queen-turned-celebrity who cares a lot about her image; and Rita Avila as Lorena, a philanthropist that Lilet admires.

There is no battle Lilet will not face, and she strives to defend victims of abuse, discrimination, and poverty. But in her fight to bring justice to people belittled by society, a case comes her way, and it reopens old wounds.

“Lilet Matias: Attorney-At-Law ” premieres March 4 in North America; and March 5 in Asia Pacific and Middle East and Europe territories.

The finest actresses of Philippine cinema deliver captivating performances, whether in leading roles or as supporting characters in GMA Pinoy Blockbuster’s line-up this March.
