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.

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.

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.

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.
