Top Defense Base Act lawyers for all cities including Hialeah Florida

I was injured in Iraq while working as a security contractor. I did not know the first thing about the Defense Base Act or my rights. I hired one lawyer that did not know what he was doing. Then I found this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. These guys know this law. They turned my case aro...und and got me a great result. I wish I had found them from the beginning of my case. The staff is friendly and easy to work with. Ms. Peake was one of the lawyers who worked on my case. She was always there for me and made me feel very comfortable at all times. I highly recommend her and the firm to my colleagues working overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan. Get this law firm from the start and you will be happy that you did.

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 Ohio Defense Base Act lawyers

I am a 30 year veteran police officer who was hired to work in Pakistan where I was severely injured. I hired the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to handle my Defense Base Act case after I fired my previous lawyer. I can tell you that my experience with this law firm was excellent. Compared ...to my previous lawyer it was night and day. One of the lawyers that helped me a great deal at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco was Ms. Rebecca Peake. She took the time to explain my rights and she went straight to work for me. She helped turn my case around and got me the benefits I needed and deserved. I am recommending this firm to anyone in need of a quality Defense Base Act law firm.

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.

  • 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.
