My Defense Base Act lawyer exceeded my expectations!
Wayne Russell was professional from my first interaction and throughout the entire case and even after resolution. I reached out to the firm to seek representation for my Defense Base Act claim and was assigned to Wayne. He walked me through the entire process and ensured that I knew each detail and time line to expect as well as the most favorable to the least favorable outcome. Wayne was upfront and honest the entire time. Wayne obtained a settlement that exceeded my expectations and I am referring my colleagues to him for their DBA claims.

Compassionate Injury Attorney
Wayne is a hard fighter for anyone with a DBA injury case. He fought for me like a stray cat. And with me he was compassionate, down to earth, empathic. I always felt he was on my side. I would highly recommend him to anyone injured overseas.

A helpful hand when in need on your Defense Base Act case
Wayne handled my Defense Base Act case with the help of his boss David Pacheco. Wayne guided me in the right direction and was by my side throughout my case. He got the job done for me and I recommend him to anyone needing a solid Defense Base Act attorney.

Top notch Defense Base Act lawyer made me a very satisfied client
Attorney Russell was extremely patient. He returned all my calls in a timely fashion. He also took my calls whenever I called in even if I did not have an appointment. He was aggressive at getting my checks started back when the adjuster stopped them on several occasions. He spoke to both my psychiatrist and my therapist to stay up to date on my medical status. The end result with Wayne was great. He is an excellent attorney and a nice professional guy as well.

Great lawyer for injuries on Military bases throughout the US
Wayne assisted me with my workers compensation case against the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. He was very professional, courteous and friendly. He was able to help me even though I had a previous disability of my own. He was fast at getting things done. I am happy with my results and I am recommending Wayne to others who are injured on the job.

Great representation for DBA case for UK citizen
Wayne did all of the leg work on my DBA case. He kept me informed and got all of my appointments sorted out. He worked hard and did a great job setting my case up for the mediation in the UK. I ended up getting a great settlement so that I can move on with my life. Thank you Wayne for all of your efforts and for diligently staying with my case right up to the finish line. I highly recommend this young man and the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for assistance with DBA cases.

The BEST Base Defense Act Team out there!
I call this guy Batman for his no bullshit approach. This man destroyed the insurance company when it came to handling my case. I highly recommend having this firm handle your needs when it comes to a work place injury overseas. It's simple stupid gents, you tell them what happened, how you want to proceed. They will counsel you on what they think will be the best avenue approach on accomplishing your goals. They will make sure you are taken care of and that you don't get suckered by the insurance company. Just remember you only live once and these guys will make sure that you get to live after your incident at work. I walked away with a large settlement and I couldn't be happier. Just understand when working overseas it is the Defense Base Act that covers you and these guys are professionals at it.
