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 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.

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.

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.
