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.

Another satisfied client for a great Defense Base Act lawyer

Rebecca was great. Every time I had a question, she was quick to answer me. Any problems in my Defense Base Act case she handled on the spot. Over the four years that she represented me, she never discouraged me and always told me the truth. I was able to get a much larger compensation settlement... than I expected. That way I can re-train because I cannot do my previous job. She was overall great person to work with. I would recommend her 100% to anyone injured while working overseas.

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.

High marks for my Defense Base Act lawyer

Rebecca did more in the six months that she had my case than my previeous lawyer did in six years. I was amazed at how she took over my case and her diligence in getting the job done. She was very quick in responding to emails and phone calls and I am completely happy with my result and I wish I ha...d contacted her sooner. I highly recommend using Rebecca and the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for any injuries sustained in Afghanistan involving Defense Base Act cases. You will not be sorry that you contacted them.

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.
