Rebecca Peake assisted me with my Defense Base Act claim. I had a terrible injury in Afghanistan. I started with a bad lawyer that did not know what he was doing. Once I switched to Ms. Peake and the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, my case got on track. They brought my case to a hearing re...garding all of the benefits that were denied to me for the past six months while I was with the other lawyer. They got me a favorable recommendation from the OWCP and then got me all of the benefits that were denied. That relieved me of so much anxiety and financial pressure that I cannot begin to tell you how amazing that was. These lawyers cared about me and took the time to do things right and explain it all to me when I was going crazy. Ms. Peake helped to calm me down in my crisis and helped me see things right. When I was ready, these lawyers settled my case and got me a fantastic result. I recommend that anyone injured in Afghanistan or Iraq contact these lawyers right from the start. These lawyers know what they are doing and they do it with compassion.

I was weary about starting a lawsuit against my Employer for my injuries that occurred in Afghanistan. I did not know anything about the Defense Base Act. All I knew was that my Employer allowed a horrific bomb blast to occur where I worked and they were not helping their employees deal with the in...juries. This law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco put my mind at ease. They handled everything for me with professionalism and great understanding of the Defense Base Act and my injuries. Ms. Peake was assigned to my file and she did a first rate job answering my questions and helping me get my benefits. Ultimately Mr. Pacheco helped me negotiate a favorable settlement. I thank this law firm for what they did for me and I recommend them highly to anyone injured in Afghanistan.

This law firm took great care of me and my case. I was injured while working overseas in Afghanistan as an embedded police mentor. I was referred to Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Once I spoke with these lawyers, my mind was put at ease. They understand the Defense Base Act and knew exactly what to d...o and how to do it. I was referred to a very qualified physician who took care of my injuries. These lawyers pushed my case to a mediation and helped me get a very favorable settlement which allowed me to move on with my life. I am indebted to this law firm for all that they did for me. I highly recommend them to anyone injured on the job in Afghanistan, Iraq or anywhere around the world.
