High marks for my Defense Base Act lawyer

Rebecca did more in the six months that she had my case than my previeous lawyer did in six years. I was amazed at how she took over my case and her diligence in getting the job done. She was very quick in responding to emails and phone calls and I am completely happy with my result and I wish I ha...d contacted her sooner. I highly recommend using Rebecca and the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for any injuries sustained in Afghanistan involving Defense Base Act cases. You will not be sorry that you contacted them.

Tenacious lawyers for Defense Base Act cases for Texas residents

I was injured while working overseas in Afghanistan. I was more than happy with the professional advise that I received from this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Ms. Peake is a tremendous lawyer and a credit to her field. Ms. Peake and her staff, especially Ms. Liz Mendez, were pivotal in t...he final resolution of my case. Their loyalty and commitment is paramount to their client. I trust her guidance implicitly and have no reservations to refer other workers injured overseas who need a top Defense Base Act lawyer. Ms. Peake coached me through the IMEs and through everything. She was with me each step of the way. I felt supported and had peace of mind through this very difficult process. I was lucky and happy to have this firm in my corner supporting me throughout my case.

The best Defense Base Act attorneys available for injuries overseas

I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect by Ms. Peake from the start of my Defense Base Act case until the finish. I was injured while working overseas in Kuwait and Ms. Peake handled my DBA case. Anyone working overseas, should they require a DBA attorney, they would be ahead of the game ...by calling this firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco.

Fantastic DBA Lawyer

Rebecca was my lawyer for my DBA case following injury in Afghanistan. She was attentive and knowledgeable. After the insurance company turned the process in to such a headache, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend her.

Best Texas Defense Base Act Attorneys

I was injured in Afghanistan while working as an aviation supply tech. When I came back to the states, I found a DBA lawyer. He was terrible. Never called me back. I finally switched to the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Ms. Peake handled my case at the firm. She was great. She took my cal...ls and my emails and got back to me with answers to my questions. It was night and day compared to the lawyer I left. Ms. Peake kept me informed all along the way. She went to a mediation for me and was very strong and professional. She got me a result that was much better than I expected. I am telling my friends and co-workers that if you are injured on the job overseas and you need a great Defense Base Act lawyer, you need to contact Ms. Peake and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Everyone at that firm was smart, responsive and on point. Great team. Thank you for your hard work and for taking care of me in my time of need.
