Satisfied client of Florida Defense Base Act Lawyer at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco law firm

From the onset, Ms. Peake was very patient and understanding. She tried her best to keep me calm from the beginning. Whenever my nerves were getting the best of me, she had a great way to calm me down and put things in perspective. I was injured in Iraq and Ms. Peake handled my Defense Base Act case.... She explained to me as the case changed what the value of the case was. She gave me a range and then outdid that range. My adjuster was very difficult and Ms. Peake held it together to the end. Everything came out great, and I could not be happier. I would recommend Ms. Peake and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to anyone injured overseas.

Best North Carolina Defense Base Act lawyers!

It was a great experience to have an attorney who stood by me even during times when it didn't seem like we would make it. But we did make it. Ms. Peake did very very good for me and my family. She was a great attorney for my Defense Base Act case. And yes I am recommending her to other workers i...njured in Afghanistan.

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.

Kentucky Defense Base Act lawyer gets the job done

Ms. Peake was the main lawyer who handled my case at the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. I was working in Afghanistan as a helicopter mechanic when i was injured on the job. My insurance company treated me harshly and cut off all of my compensation and medical care. Ms. Peake and the firm worke...d hard and got my compensation and medical care reinstatred. I feel fortunate that I found this law firm from a friend and I am doing the same for my friends by spreading the word. Ultimately, Ms. Peake got me a great settlement which was more than I expected. If you need a great Defense Base Act lawyer for injuries in Afghanistan, this is the firm you need to contact.
