I live in Wales and I got the best lawyer for my Defense Base Act case for injuries in Aghanitstan

From the very outset, Rebecca was honest, constantly in touch, kept me updated on every last detail, from emails to phone calls. I felt that I was her only client. Nothing was too much trouble. She always answered my questions promptly and honestly. I can honestly say hand on my heart that I feel... Rebecca did an absolute superb job for me and my family and I can confidently recommend her and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to any colleague injured in Afghanistan or Iraq who needs a great Defense Base Act lawyer.

Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco is the firm to go to for injuries sustained in Afghanistan

I hired the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to handle my Defense Base Act case for injuries I sustained while working in Afghanistan. Ms. Stillman handled my case. She was always around no matter morning evening or day and always replied before close of business. Very knowledgeable and professio...nal. And never hesitated to answer a question. She knew the answers and was confident in giving them. I would recommend her to overseas workers just as I was sent to her from another client of the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. She did a great job for me and I will pay it forward by sending more cases to the firm for anyone that needs a great Defense Base Act lawyer.

Defense Base Act attorney that helped me receive a settlement

The insurance company kept trying to screw me over and I hired a DBA attorney and right away I didn't feel good about him. I searched online for the best DBA attorneys and I kept reading great things about the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. I talked to them and knew they had been doing this awhil...e and I felt good about them. The insurance company fought me on everything and I would call upset and Rebecca was there for me and would walk me through what she was doing and calm me down. In the end Rebecca flew to Louisiana and we met with Insurance companies lawyers and were able to settle for a good amount. If you are hurt and need a DBA attorney Rebecca and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco will fight for you.

I am from Georgia and I got the best Defense Base Act Lawyer for my case

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.

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.
