I had a very difficult case that no one wanted to handle. I feel very fortunate that I found my Defense Base Act attorney Clifford R. Mermell, Esq. at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, P.A. He flew from Miami to Long Beach California and went to court for me. He won my case and got me all of my compensat...ion and medical care. I am extremely happy and fortunate that Mr. Mermell is my lawyer. I would highly recommend him to any workers injured in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait or anywhere overseas. He is a top notch Defense Base Act Lawyer. You will be fortunate if you get Mr. Mermell as your lawyer. You can find him at www.dbalawyers.com.

Mr. Mermell, and all of his staff were so knowledgeable of what I needed to have my case completed in a timely manner. They made sure that I was comfortable at all times dealing with my pain and injury. His staff kept me informed of everything that was going on. Even though I was still overseas the t...ime of my injury and had surgeries there. They took care of me ten thousand miles away. To anyone out there that is in need of good representation, please give Mr. Mermell and his staff a call ASAP. My name is Jonathan, and I approve this statement.

From day one it was an uphill battle just to see a doctor. Unless you're in Florida this firm cannot obtain a doctor for a dba claim. Calls are never answered or returned. A snotty phone person refuses to connect to you to an attorney unless you have an appointment. Terrible service and no confidence... in these individuals.
