Clifford Robert Mermell

I was injured in Baghdad while working as a personal security specialist. I didn't get a lawyer until I was moved to Afghanistan and the insurance company started calling me to settle the case. My employer wanted me to settle even though I was cleared to return to work by my doctor. I called numer...ous attorneys and once they learned that I had returned to work, they were not interested in my case. Then I found Clifford Mermell at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, and he decided he would help me out even though I had returned to work. Ever since Mr. Mermell took my case, things turned in my favor. If Mr. Mermell was unavailable, his staff handled my calls professionally and with knowledge and patience and humor. I give a lot of credit to Mr. Mermell's staff and even more to Mr. Mermell who got the job done. Ultimately, the Carrier started sending me letters that said that they had overpaid me and that they did not want to settle with me. Mr. Mermell convinced the Carrier that their was no overpayment and in fact convinced the Carrier to settle my case. Mr. Mermell stayed in close contact with me all the way through and got me a great result. I would never go anywhere else. He did a wonderful job for me and I have recommended him to my friends and family. I have told anyone who has a Defense Base Act claim, injured in the line of duty overseas, that this is the lawyer they need to see. And do it right away. Call Mr. Mermell at 305 595 3350 or email him at [email protected].

When I first came home from my injury in Afghanistan, I was confused and did not know who to turn to. But after contacting Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco and speaking with Mr. Mermell and the staff and after my options was explained to me by Mr. Mermell, I felt a little more comfortable and over the few ...months that Mr. Mermell handled my case, I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable and I am 100% satisfied with every process taken. I recommend Mr. Mermell and his firm to any of my friends and family with any type of legal questions or concerns, especially Defense Base Act cases for civilian men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After struggling to find a lawyer for two years, I was so so pleased to find this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. There are very few lawyers who know how to handle a case for someone injured on a military base under the non-appropriated funds Act. You guys were like my heating pad to the pai...n in my back. I am a teacher and was working for the Navy and I injured my back while trying to catch a baby from falling to the floor. I was very pleased with the result because you guys were able to get a settlement amount that I never expected. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone injured on a military base. The staff is excellent. They were calling me all the time, making sure I was OK and very concerned about my case.

I was injured on the job and a friend recommended me to Clifford Mermell. Once I spoke with his secretary and made an appointment, they immediately saw me and got me to a doctor that took good care of me. And see that I had got my compensation while I was out of work. And had to fight for me sever...al times and settled my case and I was a happy camper. And Liz, my paralegal, kept me informed of everything and made sure I went to all my doctor appointments and answered all the questions that I had to ask. Thank you Ms. Liz! I recommend this lawyer to anyone injured out at the port.

While working overseas as a law enforcement mentor/advisor, I was injured in the line of duty. This law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, P.A. took care of me with a knowledgeable and professional staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a Defense Base Act Lawyer which is a very uniq...ue type of service.
