Clifford Robert Mermell

I was working overseas as a contractor and was injured in Iraq. I was seeking legal DBA advice regarding my claim. I contacting Mr. Mermell and associates and found them to be very thorough and professional. I was kept informed all along the way on my claim and reached a favorable resolution. My ...resolution was a creative settlement which provides me with income for the rest of my life. I would recommend Mr. Mermell and his firm to anyone seeking help with their Defense Base Act claim.

My experience with the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco was very pleasant and enjoyable. I recommend this firm to anyone injured overseas in the line of duty. I was injured in Aghanistan as the result of a large bomb blast. My case was handled under a law called the Defense Base Act. Not too... many lawyers know how to handle this type of case. My lawyers did a great job and got me a result that exceeded my expectations.

It has been my pleasure to work with the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. They were there with me at every turn through ups and downs in my Defense Base Act case, and even though I had slightly more difficult case, this law office stood by me and pushed through to the end with a great result. I w...ould highly recommend them to anyone in the private security industry injured in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else abroad.

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].

I had no idea what to do after I got injured in Afghanistan where I was working as a camera center operator. I looked up lawyers that handle Defense Base Act cases on the internet, and I went through a bunch of them and then chose this law firm because they were up front with me whenever I called an...d I felt comfortable with the lawyer when I explained my situation. They did not flake on me like several of the other lawyers I spoke with. I was satisfied with the answers I was given on the phone on my initial consult and my lawyers expedited getting things started. You guys did a solid job. Earned my trust right off the bat being honest with me and ultimately got me a great result. I would highly recommend the services of this law firm to any injured party coming back from an injury in Iraq or Afghanistan.
