Rebecca Faye Stillman

Well experienced and well knowledged. Very good attorney. Ms. Peake and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case. I was injured in Afghanistan while doing security work. Ms. Peake helped me settle my case for the most benefits from opposing counsel. I am very happy ...with the way it went and the result I got.

In meeting Ms. Rebecca Peake we were engaged in my case from the very beginning. She took the time to inform me of my options, give recommendations, and left the choices up to me, her client. In the end, when we were faced with mediation, she came through on top. There was no backing down or givin...g up when it comes to the defense of her client. When strength is needed, when the pressure is on, she is as tough as they come. On a personal note, I love the strength that she exudes. That is probably why she was a Lacrosse goalie. For this, me and my family are grateful that this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco was a class act in Defense Base Act cases.

I was injured overseas, and Ms. Peake handled my Defense Base Act case. Ms. Peake has done an excellent job for me. She went back and forth with my Employer and the insurance company. She tried to get me the best result on my settlement and I think she has achieved that. She will be very helpful ...to other clients similarly situated who are injured 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.

My initial contact was excellent. I was put at ease right from the beginning. Here is what put me at ease. "Don't worry about your money, I am going to get you paid all the way to the end." And I did get paid right to the end. She was right. I got paid all the way through to my settlement. I ne...ver missed a payment. I got injured in 2015 while working overseas in Afghanistan and Ms. Peake handled my Defense Base Act case. My lawyer got me much more than I even expected in the settlement. I have already referred to Ms. Peake three more clients because I want them to be well cared for like me.
