Kara Olesky

Ms. Olesky was a pleasure to work with and was very upfront and truthful about what to expect in my Defense Base Act case. She told me what she was going to do, and then she made it happen. My case had some curve balls, but she always calmed me down and took my calls and emails and got back to me s...o that I did not need to worry further. I am very happy with the outcome. I am spreading the word about Ms. Olesky and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for all the contractors working overseas. This is the place to go for a DBA case for injuries in Afghanistan, Iraq or anywhere overseas.

I was working in Kuwait and I was injured in a car crash. This law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case. My experience with this firm was great. They really care for their clients. I needed a loan and they got it for me. I really appreciate what you guys have done f...or me. Ms. Olesky was very concerned about me. She fought tooth and nail for me. Whenever she saw a problem, she would not let it go until it was resolved. I felt like I was the only case, not just another case with this firm. Everyone in this firm made me feel that way.

I hired this firm following an overseas injury and couldn't be happier with the results. I felt they were very concerned about my condition and very informative through the process. Do NOT let attorney Kara Olesky's youthful appearance fool you. She is a highly professional and highly skilled attorne...y who knows exactly how to negotiate for her clients. I will continue to refer clients to her in the future, because I felt I was very well taken care of.

I was injured in Afghanistan, came home for treatment and found a different attorney who was careless and selfish, the insurance was threatening to stop my benefits and my attorney didn't care. I luckily found the Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco law firm, from day one attorney Oleskey took ownership of my ...case, she fought for me until she brought the insurance to the settlement table and she did settle my case in my favor. I was pretty shocked with the result. On the mediation day the opposing counsel could not even talk in front of attorney Oleskey. Attorney Oleskey is very professional, very confident on what she is doing/saying. She always prepared me for my doctor's appointments and IMEs. Always responsive. I highly recommend attorney Oleskey and their law firm Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for all the DBA cases. In my opinion nobody is as qualified as these folks when it comes to DBA. Thank you attorney Oleskey for all your help you Rock!
