Great DBA lawyers for Colorado contractors injured in Afghanistan

Ms. Peake is a dynamic lawyer who fights hard for her clients. She was always there for me when I needed her. She answered my questions and calmed me down when I was agitated by things going on in my case. For my colleagues with a Defense Base Act case, I highly recommend Ms. Peake and the staff a...t Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to handle your case. I was injured in a large IED blast while working in Afghanistan. This law firm set things straight for me.

Best Defense Base Act Lawyers for North Carolina residents injured in Afghanistan or Iraq or overseas

Ms. Rebecca is one of the lawyers at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco who worked on my DBA case for my injuries in Afghanistan. She was awesome. She was the first person at the firm that I spoke to. I was very skeptical about hiring any lawyers and had interviewed several before Ms. Rebecca. From the fi...rst moment I spoke with her, my fears were calmed. Ms. Rebecca has a calmness in her voice an in her manner that hooked me from the very beginning. I was confident in her abilities from the start, and she never let me down. She always answered my questions and reassured me along the way. She got me an excellent result and I am still in disbelief about how great my case was handled. I am recommending her and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to anyone injured overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq or on any military base. If you read this, and go to this firm, you can thank me later.

Nationwide Defense Base Act attorneys who care about your case

Rebecca Peake was one of the lawyers that helped me with my DBA case for my injuries in Iraq. She has a no nonsense approach. She told me step by step what was going on and what I needed to do to win my case. She always maintained good contact with me and kept me informed. I recommend her and the... firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to any contractor injured in Iraq or Afghanistran. These lawyers know what they are doing and get the job done!

Defense Base Act Law Firm that gets results and treats you with respect

I was injured at Camp Pinnacle in Kabul, Afghanistan. I contacted these lawyers at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. They took great care of me. My insurance company denied my medical care. They got it for me. My insurance company denied my compensation. They got it for me. I owe a lot to this law fi...rm for protecting my rights. I strongly urge anyone injured in Afghanistan who needs help with their Defense Base Act case to contact these lawyers right from the start. You will be happy you did.

Compassionate Defense Base Act lawyers you can count on in your time of need

Ms. Peake was the lawyer that handled my deposition on the 19th of June. She is from the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Ms. Peake really showed up for me. I was nervous and she calmed me down. She made me know that I was in good hands. She was strong and made a very nice impression. Bec...ause of how well my deposition went, I got a great result in my case. I cannot thank Ms. Peake and the whole team at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco enough for what they did for me. It was like they were sent from God to take care of people injured overseas. For all my brethren working or injured in Afghanistan like me, I recommend you to this firm to handle your Defense Base Act case.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
